When you're in the hospital with your newborn, the nurses want you to keep track of every "soiled diaper*." I'm pretty sure this is either for the purpose of figuring out if your baby is getting enough food or to give you something structured to do in a pretty unstructured situation. I, being the planned-to-the-max-anal-retentive person that I am, latched on to that habit like a breastfed baby. I no longer physically track every "soiled diaper*," because we know that our almost 16 lb 3 month old son is getting plenty of food, but I'm still very aware of when these "perfect storms"occur.
Here are the situations and their corresponding statistical likelihood of a "soiled diaper*" from least to most likely.
- At church 15%
- In public 25%
- In new clothes 30%
- During a doctor's appointment for him 40%
- In the carrier 50%
- In the 5 min drive home from church 75%
- While wearing these adorable (yet still cursed) navy cargo shorts 85%
- When Mom or Dad is running low on wipes in diaper bag or does not have an appropriately sized change in clothes 90%
- With shoes on 100%
- 5 minutes before a doctor's appointment for Mom 100% NO JOKE!!!!
*Soiled diaper synonyms- blowout, poopy diaper, dirty diaper, nasty diaper, smelly mess, oozing yellow fun
