Bring out your best poo stories!
Because it seems that there's nothing better to do as a mother than compare notes on your baby's bowel motions... Your most amusing/entertaining/gross poo stories...
We had one today... Sam has just discovered his penis... every time his nappy is off he just grabs for it (and some of the things he does with it look sooo painful!), so as you can imagine, nappy changes are getting interesting.
Today, his poo smooshed forwards all over his penis, his scrotum, all up the sides... ick! Of course, he grabbed for it, poo and all and got a hand right in there... clean up the hand and give him something to hold on to in order to distract him... worked a bit, kept his hands out of it, unfortunately, I gave him the tube of bum cream and he knows what it's for and decided to be helpful and put the tube where it belongs... in the poo! Nice try, but I can do without that sort of helpfulness, thanks. It was a major battle to keep his hands out of his mouth when they weren't in the poo - I guess this is why DH refuses to change dirty nappies solo and always yells for me to help.
We got there in the end, bum clean, hands clean... and I even used the alcohol sanitiser on his hands afterwards as he'd decided to fill his nappy in the middle of lunch (self-feeding time, vegemite toast).
Speaking of vegemite toast - theres nothing more disturbing than changing a dirty nappy after lunch and finding what you *hope* is vegemite smears on your baby's hands as you were fairly sure he didn't get his hands in there while you were changing him...
