I was not prepared for this. That's all I'm saying. It was up the back, down the leg, somehow on the onesie and the blanket. How is this much poop coming from something so small. My wife laughed at my face the whole time I was cleaning it up. Do they always explode like this or did I do something wrong with the diaper?
First blowout is traumatic I won't lie. But after the third or fourth one you just laugh about it and move on. Get some extra outfits ready everywhere - car, diaper bag, crib. You'll need them.
This is peak new dad panic right here. Honestly you can just throw out the old outfit and the diaper and start fresh. Makes cleanup way easier. You did fine.
Welcome to parenthood man. The blowout is like a rite of passage. Up the back and everywhere else - that's the signature move. You're going to go through about a thousand outfit changes over the next year.
First one of these happened to us at 3 months and I genuinely thought something was wrong. Called the pediatrician and everything. Turns out it's totally normal. You'll get used to it unfortunately.
Oh dude. Welcome to the club. The 'up the back' blowout is a rite of passage. Pro tip: change the clothes first, diaper second. Saves you from stripping the kid down twice.

These only get more creative as they get older. Just wait until solid food starts. You haven't lived until you've dealt with a diaper blowout at a Target fitting room.
