My 3 week old just explosive pooped all over me, the couch, and somehow the ceiling fan. How is that even possible from a 9 pound human??? My wife is laughing at me and I'm sitting here covered in mustard colored poop wondering what I signed up for. Does this get less frequent or am I just gonna smell like poop forever now?
Welcome to the newborn phase. The ceiling fan detail made me laugh but also feel your pain. It does get better around 6 months when their digestive system stabilizes more. Hang in there.
Dude I've been there and I can tell you yes, it absolutely gets better. The explosive ones don't stop entirely but they become way less frequent. And you get faster at dodging them.
Welcome to the club man. It gets better but for the next month just assume you'll get hit. Keep a changing pad everywhere, invest in good laundry detergent, and laugh about it when you can.
Dude same thing happened to me at like 2 weeks. It's wild how far it shoots. My wife and I just started accepting that everything gets soaked and keeping towels everywhere. It does get better though, I promise. By like 8 weeks it calmed down a lot.
Three weeks in and already documenting the poop stories. That's the real dad energy right there. Seriously though, in a few months you'll miss almost nothing about this phase except maybe the cuddles.

The ceiling fan is the real achievement here. Most people don't get their angle of attack perfected until like week 5. You're ahead of the game.
