The title of this post is a bit misleading actually. It implies that putting a nappy on us really difficult. It’s not. The hard bit is the bit before you put the nappy on. Actually, I may have implied in the past that I regularly change my son’s nappies. I admit it – I don’t. C’mon, who wants to change nappies?
I reckon they should run a course for how to change nappies. There’s obviously the physical side to doing it, but nothing prepares you for the psychological impact of seeing a baby’s poo.
Think of the money you could rake in running a course like that. These things seem to come naturally for women, but blokes – they would sign up in a jiffy. Baby crying? Check nappy. Got a boy? Keep it covered. Baby gone quiet? Then get your gas masks out, ‘cos he’s gonna blow!
I reckon babies like the feel of cool air on their bums – seems to make them want to pee. And they go really quiet just a moment before.
The problem with Baby A – it makes him want to poo as well. And it’s never ending. We were standing there for 20 minutes the other day with his nappy open whilst he went about his important business of the day.
Actually, when I say “we”….I wasn’t actually there….
