Here's a pic of the little rascal in the infamous Bumbo. I'm starting to believe he thinks the Bumbo is a toilet or something because he almost always poos when he sits in it. 
...I have a very advanced 4 mo. old!Ok, so I thought you Momaroos would appreciate two funny poop stories (Note: my DS (darling son) is EBF (exclusively breast fed), so you know how explosive that can be
).
"Poop and Poop Again"
Ok, so the other day, DS is sitting in his Bumbo when I hear him poo (it is almost always loud). Usually, I wait a few minutes to make sure he is finished, but lately he has been leaking, so I took him to the changing pad almost immediately. Well, I got his diaper off and started to wipe him off, when he decided he wasn't finished yet. I quickly caught the liquid poo in my hand (Oh, the joys of motherhood) and got us both cleaned up again and put on a fresh diaper.
He had gotten a little spot on his onesie, so I turned around to his dresser to grab a new one, and he erupted again. I couldn't believe it. Cleaned him, put on a new diaper, changed the onesie and put his overalls back on, and took him back into the dining room and put him in his Bumbo again. Less than a minute later...you guessed it, he pooped again. I took him BACK to the changing table, opened the diaper....
...and he PEED on me.
I ended up having to change his outfit again, and he was very upset with me. I don't think he knew what was going on
!
"Oh, POOP!"
So, yesterday morning, DH got up to get ready for work (which is way earlier than I cared to be up after a long day of working and mothering, by the way) and DS started fussing. At first, I thought DH had woken him, and I was not thrilled (I later discovered his tummy must have been hurting).
He sleeps in bed with us (long story involving necessity when he was first born and us living with our BIL and having little/no space for his crib) so I picked him up and was trying to comfort him while sitting in bed. Suddenly, he let out a loud BM that shook my hand (which was under his bottom). I thought, "Well, I'll see if he's done" (thinking I'd learned a lesson from the previous story).
The thought had barely left my mind when I felt something warm on my stomach. I panicked, and said something along the lines of "Are you kidding me?!?!" as I lept out of bed, running toward the changing table. I quickly put DS down and buckled him in, and went to the bathroom. DH was in the shower and wasn't too amused by my story (he was in a bad mood that morning). My shirt only had a small spot on the bottom edge, but my pajama pants were soaked in poo down to my knee! It had even soaked through to my undies!! (MAJOR EEW FACTOR!) I cleaned myself up and changed into fresh pj's and got DS cleaned up (there was poo all over him and he insisted on putting his hands and feet into it, so that every time I got something clean, something else was gross, lol!
Oh, and yeah, it got on the sheets too, so I had to change those. I can't believe it got everywhere that fast! After we got all cleaned up and the sheets were changed, I let DS play under the covers (he loves to chew on the blanket) and played with him until he was ready to eat and go back to sleep (no way was I getting up that early, especially after that!)

My baby never poops and neither do I.
All these abbreviations make it hard to concentrate.
Hahaha! Story two is crazy! That must have been one huge mess!
Your son is adorable! Cute, sweet little smile.
Have you tried cloth diapers with covers, if those are the right size they leak less!
I never had any leaking with the cloth diapers I use. I only get leaks with disposables. I only have two poop stories that are remotely memorable. Once I decided to take a bath with my son when he was about 5 weeks old. He got all comfortable and it was so cute and adorable, but he was so comfortable that he pooped all over me defeating the purpose of the bath. The second story involves my mother giving my poor 2 month old son apple juice. She used to watch him and thought he was constipated. I told him he was fine and the breastfed babies don't poop as much. Anyway she gave him the apple juice and poop shot out of his butt all over the place. It was the freaky.
I used our laundry tub to do those quick nasty baths.
Eww.
Something else for me to look forward to with motherhood, I take it... :)
I have considered using cloth diapers, but I am a little too worried about them leaking a lot. I just don't see how they would be any more supportive of baby messes than a regular pair of undies.
(At least you may not have a hard time potty training him! Oh boy, I sure look forward to that one when it's time...)
One more reason I don't want kids... don't want to deal with someone else's poop
Wow! That is a great story. I'm glad you can laugh about it now! As a matter of fact, my DD had one today. I posted on my Facebook status that she must be part leprechaun because she had liquid gold oozing from her diaper. My DS also had a major poop during his baby dedication at church. Nice. Both kids were/are EBF. I have horrible 2 YO poop stories, but they are MUCH worse. I'll refrain.
My son pooped himself pretty bad one time. It went all down his legs and up his back. I put him on the changing pad (which is on top of his dresser) and wiped him all down. He peed while I was cleaning him so I figured I could let him go naked while I bent down to get new clothes. Big mistake. He peed again right as I was standing back up again. It got in my mouth as I was talking to him.
@watsmynameagain@xanga - lolol this visual of this made me chuckle!
I use cloth diapers the majority of the time. In the first story, he was in a disposable the first time and in cloth (flats w/ covers) for the next few poops. In the second story, he was wearing a Bum Genius 3.0---so you know it was just a TON of poop, lol!
The cloth diapers do keep the messes in a LOT better!! I hate when he poops in a disposable--I'm always like, "Quick! RUN!!"I just had my first experience with a constipated baby (12 months old) yesterday. After 30 minutes of pushing and crying and pushing and crying, I put DD in the tub and massaged you-know-where like my doctor told me too. She finally pooped 10 minutes later, and I kid you not, this thing was hard as a rock and as long as she is. So then I'm holding a naked poop-covered baby, trying to scoop these giant turds out of my bathtub, clean and refill the tub so I can wash off the poop, when of course she pees all over me. So now we're both covered in pee and poop.
When it was all said and done, I immediately called my mom and apologized for the time I was constipated when I was 4 years old, and she had to pin me down to give me an enema.
Poop stories: A true testimony of unconditional love!
The poop will get less leaky as your DS gets older, I promise! What diapers do you use? I've heard that Pampers are less likely to leak for girls but that Huggies do a better job of holding it in for boys. I've found that to be true for my EBF daughter (when she was EBF).
I had a bad poop moment when my DS was about 9 or 10 months old. He was starting to pull up and didn't quite get the hang of letting himself back down to sit slowly for about a week. In the meantime, he just plopped onto his butt to sit back down. Well when he was standing with his hands on the lid of the toilet, he plopped down with a full diaper and leaned up against the outside of the tub and squealed happily until I came back to the bathroom to get him. When I took his hands and let him pull up I noticed a semi hard turd stuck to the side of the tub and one tab of his diaper undone where he must have picked it apart. All I could do was laugh, because I'd never seen anything so disgustingly funny.
There was another case of my husband turning his back to get a diaper while my son was being changed and having an arc of urine hit the back of his head. LOL.
I don't mind cleaning up the messes at all because I'm doing it laughing normally. XD
