If you’ve ever changed a diaper on a baby, you know sometimes it can get a bit…uhhh…messy? Here are three things we’ve done with Bode to make diaper changes easier…
1) Once he started to crocodile roll, I luckily had found one of those noise makers we had leftover from New Year’s Eve and I blew it, he laughed and tried to grab it and it all distracted him enough to get the job done!
2) Bode and I have had our fair share of *massive* blowouts (and I’m not talking about our hair)…one time I was sans diaper changing pad and the store (Walmart) had puppy pads in their pet section. I snatched those up so fast, opened them up and used one to wrap the diaper, onesie and wipes all into one to throw away together. It made the clean-up so easy that’s the only thing I carry, especially when we travel (something about that altitude in a plane gets his bowels flowing). Don’t worry, I paid for the pack that I opened that one fateful day.
3) When he was really young, he got a nasty diaper rash that didn’t respond to anything we did, so we decided we’d just leave him without a diaper and in/on a towel for as long as possible. That and we’d get his naked little butt out in the sun for just a couple of minutes a day. Cleared him right up.
4) Basically all of Bode’s clothes are second hand so when we have those massive blowouts I don’t feel bad tossing the outfit. I always try to make sure I’ve got a few onesies in the car, just in case…but sometimes we run through those too. Gotta love a baby who gets adjusted all the time.
