My worst diaper change… so far.

When Sulaiman was a few days old, he was pooping constantly. Before, during and after every feed which came every 2 hours. This is the worse diaper change we had… so far.

Sulaiman drinks his milk. Pauses. Prrrrrrrrrrrrt! Continues to drink.

Once he’s satisfied I lie him down and open his diaper. Bright yellow healthy poop. Remove the diaper. Lift his legs and wipe his butt. Turn to get another wet wipe. Prrrrrrrrrrrrt! Poop all over the napkin on the bed. Crap. Remove napkin. Move baby to cleaner spot. Quickly place clean diaper under his butt and wipe again. Clean butt. And there’s a fountain of warm baby pee. Swoooosh! Up my t-shirt and right on my face, yes, across the mouth. Cover with the diaper! Not fast enough. Pee on me, the bed and the baby’s head. Argh.

What next? Leave him to pee. Clean my face. Wipe his head. (I confess I cleaned myself before I cleaned him). Remove second diaper. Wipe wipe wipe. Super fast. Super clean. New diaper. Clean baby clothes. Fresh. Change my t-shirt. Remove bed sheet. Clean bed sheet.

Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt!

Shit. Literally.

4 diapers in 15 minutes. Lots of poop. Lots of pee. Healthy baby. Alhamdulillah.
