OK…it’s about to get all mommy blogger up in here! But for
real…let’s talk about poop. NO not YOUR poop…baby poop! Raise your hand if you
have experienced a blow out? And I am NOT talking about at the hair dresser! On
average my baby blows her britches about 3-4 times a day! That is insane…in a
matter of 7 months that is a total of over 500 blowouts since birth. Is your
mind blown yet?! I kid you not the parents that tell me the exact time of day that
their child poops I want to shoot a spit ball at their head! 4 kids and
thousands (yes, thousands) of diaper blow outs later you would think I have
millions of tricks up my sleeves!
I have tried the “tighten the tabs at an angle trick”. “Unfold
the “cups” by the legs trick”. Buying diapers 1 size bigger trick and of course
switched to almost every brand of diaper on the market! I will tell you though…I
am a brand snob and prefer Huggies and Pampers over any other diaper on the
market! For my babes store brand diapers DO NOT work! I am to the point I am
tempted to wad up a tissue and shove it just above the crack of the babies bum
so that maybe it will act as a barrier! Either that or a speed bump!
I will “attempt” the cleaning process of my baby blowouts
and am astonished at the fact there is NOTHING inside the actual diaper.
Instead it is all over the insides of her clothes. Out the sides of her legs or
even in-between her toes. NO idea how this actually happens!
I came up with an idea…listen up diaper distributors (and
don’t forget the little person who gave you the thought in the process!) Why
not specialize in diapers made specifically for “blowouts”. Have a diaper made especially
for those that blow out at the thighs. A diaper made with a HIGHER back portion
specifically for the back “blowers” or as a friend said even a diaper made for “captain
chunky monkey”. Babies that don’t need more length but need a much wider waist
and higher back portion! I am so sick of washing my 7 month olds clothes
multiple times throughout the day! BUT I do have a trick for the stains…rinse
in cold water. COLD. Rub fabric together using hand soap or dish soap. Rinse
again then immediately spray with UN-believable spray! No joke this stuff is
the bomb diggity of all stain removers! It’s supposed to be for “carpets” but I
have got red wine stains out of white pillows and it has yet to ruin fabric on
anything of ours!! Throw in the wash and BEFORE you place the clothing in the
dryer…look it over. If stains are still present repeat the process! Once you
dry the clothing the stain is set and you might as well tie dye it as its not
coming out!
{Funny story behind this picture...looks sweet and innocent enough right? We had JUST pulled up to a wedding...pull out the cutely dressed baby to find the worlds worst blowout. It was roasting hot outside and we searched high and low throughout the car only to realize every back up outfit we had was already used from other blowouts. This swimsuit was in a bag for me to return to the store...bet you can't say that you took a baby to a wedding wearing a hot pink polka dot swimsuit!}
What are your tricks, tips or funny stories?! I would love
to hear! Have a blessed day!
