How nasty is changing a baby's diaper?

[Fast Twitch Fiber]

If it's just wet I think I can handle it but I'm not so sure of the solid waste. I'm sure they don't drop massive loads like I do so maybe it's not too bad. What do you do with the diaper afterwards? I don't want the garbage can stinking until garbage day. Maybe I can tell the baby he can only poop the night before garbage collection day?

No, I'm not a father yet. I'm going to be taking care of my 12 month old nephew for a few days and this issue is scaring me. I'm pretty sure I can keep the kid happy and safe the rest of the time.

Depends on what they eat, but it seems to smell really bad most of the time. Not big loads you think? Just wait till you got one bursting at the seams. Nearly makes you gag.

You will be amazed at the amount of shit a baby can produce.

And yes it can smell really bad. It's a smell a parent never forgets.

You're not helping me conquer what is one of my greatest fears in life.

 

[Liftbig]

i changed my neices diapers a few times. its not that bad really. but i dont like doing it. cuase babys start kicking you when you change them.

Put the soiled diaper in a plastic grocery bag, remove the air and tie it closed. That will keep the smell down.

The easiest way to change a soiled diaper without getting it everywhere or making a mess is to lay the child on his back pull the tabs on the side off, lift the child's legs up with one hand, with the other hand grab the front of the diaper and use it to wipe away from the penis towards the anus, leave the diaper folded on top of the part that once covered their butt and used wipes to wipe away what little may be left. Then roll the diaper up and use the side tabs to close the diaper. After all that, bag it.

Place a clean diaper under the child. You will want to open it first and make sure the tabs are on the back not the front. The front of the diaper usually has some kind of design across it.

If you talk, sign or somehow entertain the child while changing them it will be a much more pleasant experience for both him and you.

You'll be good to go.

At 12 months old the child should be able to feed themselves with supervision and little help. They can eat finger foods alone for the most part though. Make sure you cut the food into bite sized pieces. If you give them hot dogs or grapes which can be a choking hazard cut them in half after cutting it into circular pieces. In other words cut the grapes into fours and after slicing hot dogs cut them in half again.

That should help you out some.

hey bro how ya been?

It's pretty nasty, but it didn't bother me at all when I changed my daughter's diapers. I didn't know that a baby's crap could stink so bad though.

 

[ajtomasi]

it's nasty, but not as nasty as the movie about eating shit you were watching a few days ago

 

[Creepusmaximus]

nvrbuffenuff_girl that is way to simple of an answer. A lot of crap is stuck to them and it stinks. Things can get out of hand very fast and in a boys case you can only hope he starts peeing on you.

I'd just lay my kid on his stomach in the front yard and give him some high pressure hose in the pewpar.

Nvr_Buffenuff laid it out nicely. As to the gag factor depends on what you feed a baby. While they are on formula its a breeze no smell at all. When they hit baby food there is some smell but not too bad. Once they hit the chilie you have to learn to choke down your own puke.

My brother has kids and he's told me stories of occasional "blowouts" where there's so much shit expelled with so much force, that it came out of the diaper and up the baby's back. Thankfully of the times I changed my nieces and nephews, I never experienced that phenomenon. On a side note, the older siblings (by a few years) often had a peculiar fascination with watching the baby being changed so they could see what was in the "poopy" diapers.

Excellent advise. My baby is 12months and all that nvr buff said is right on target. My baby prefers to feed himself if possible, even things that aren't finger foods.

Keep the comode lids down as most babis like to play in the water. I bet your going to have a lot of fun. I do, kids are a trip!

The worst is when you pull back the diaper to check if it is wet
or not and your finger goes right into a pile.

Yea, #1 is a piece of cake.
The worst is an explosive diarrhea change that requires almost a whole box of wet wipes..

 

[Zebo]

You get used to it eventually. But I had two girls, all I remember was when they pooped you had to swab their twat to keep it clean.

Part of life.....

 

[vixenbabe]

LMAO!

Nothing funnier than watching a man change a shit packed diaper! My hubby got thru two in Bri's entire life. His gag reflex could not muster the job!

Watch out for the "cold factor" too. Once his willy get's wind of the diaper being taken off, he'll piss in your face once your in target range. True! I'll never forget the first time I babysat my best pal's little boy and he pissed all over me! Little bastard had great aim for a 8 month old!

Good luck!Enjoy this specail experience with your lil nephewl! You'll do fine!

When I was a kid my dad really did take me outside one time and used the garden hose. Mom caught him too and she still hasn't forgiven him.

 

[Imnotdutch]

Have you no self-respect........doing a womans job like that.

My brother point blank refused to change daipers when his were born. If the wife went out he would let his kid sit there in its own shit........I dunno whether to laugh or cry.

Like green pea soup... and they start kicking and wallowing in it... smearing it everywhere... and the rancid smell... ugghhhh.

He'd be wearin that shit filled diaper around his head IF he were my hubby. Damn, that is cruel!

Poor kid can get a rash if he was cuttin teeth!

Wonder why his wife kept getting depressed every time she gave birth

I really dont see the problem with changing daipers though. It isnt that big an issue........some things just have to be done.

 

[Y_lifter]

Oh, and it's not so bad when you are at home with all of your
EQUIPMENT lined up at the ready.

It sucks when you are out, and are forced to improvise a changing table and what to do with the evidence..

 

[Creepusmaximus]

Good point about being away from home. That's one of the reasons people with kids carry a huge amount of stuff around them. I try to have tightly packed basics.
