Milly hasn't done this (yet), she tends to just dribble it out, but she's a projectile pooer Got me in spectacular fashion the other day - none on herself or her change mat, just all on me!

I thought it was to make more washing. DD did this when she was 4 weeks old. We were at my parents place staying in a caravan and had the clean clothes on the spare area.
She got the lot
Happy as a lark afterwards so thought it was just something some kids did for the fun of it

They are both hilarious stories!!!! what a shot getting it out the bassinet and into your drawer!!! atleast i only had to wash one bra (being the one she chucked up into) not an entire drawer full!!

and teni: DD2 did this this other day, luckily i was only just taking the nappy off and managed to catch it in the nappy, im sorry but im laughing at the thought of you standing there, making cute faces at your beautiful daughter, hearing a wierd noise, looking down and seeing poo flying out at you and covering you ..........sorry

ETA: Rivlas....thats it, i knew there was a reason!!

Sorry, I know this is not quite the point of your post but I just thought of another one...

When DD was about 4 weeks old, DH and I were sitting with her on the couch. She'd been sleeping well (that changed!), feeding better after a rough start and having the 2 of us at home, we were generally feeling on top of things. Basking in that glow of new parents, we looked at eachother and our beautiful DD and I said something along the lines of "this is perfect! People say the first weeks are so hard but how easy and wonderful is this?". DD looked up at me, gurgled her apparent agreement and then projectile spewed across my face, in my hair, and it then ran into my cleavage and down my top. Then the doorbell rang - unannounced visitors! Well I certainly looked the picture of parenting bliss when I greeted them!
