How can something that looks so sweet make such hideous smells? Our new form of entertainment in our sleep deprived state is our daughter...this somehow includes her poop and gas. This has had us in hysterics as we change her diapers! I remember reading or hearing that breastfed babies poo does not smell...oh ummm that person was totally mistaken! This is what we have observed so far...1. Gas - horrible smell, but somehow causes her to smile and us to laugh.
2. The Streaker - This is when there was a poo earlier, and not all of it was expelled and then a little gas happens, and hence a streak in the diaper.
3. The Poop - This is when you need to be within the same room to hear it, and it is pretty small clean up (maybe 4-5 hot wash towels).
4. The Exploder - This is when you can hear the poo arrive in the diaper from across the house (1300 sq ft. is small, but still...). It generally requires 2-3 firings to be complete. If you are lucky she will do this when you are not holding her behind, but generally seems that she waits until that exact moment to deliver! The clean up of this is an artform generally requiring all hot wash towels from stash. This is why we are doing laundry once a day.
5. Wee - This is generally what is done after you take off the diaper to change #2-4, or has also been known to happen just as soon as the new clean diaper has just been readied for application, but not quite in time to catch the wee and save the changing table from another cleaning and ... changing.
We love you Sofia!

Amazing how a night out on the town is NOTHING compared to the entertainment your baby gives by pooing, peeing, smiling, and later ... giggling.
I know you two are tired, but you are soooooo lucky ... and every time you look at her you know it!
Loving the updates!!!! Thank you. Lots of smiling, laughing & heartwarming! Sooooo glad I have you to tell me what to expect & give me advice on what to do. How are the cloth diapers working out?
