All of our friends with babies have told us it's a lot easier when it's your baby that you've changed from birth (when they're breastfed, preferably). That way you get to gradually go up in the levels of disgusting. I've changed nieces and nephews without too much of a problem despite the awful smell of the older kids eating solids. DH has refused to practice on any kid but our own. That should be interesting (and I'll make sure to have my phone ready for a video)!
Lol! This was DH's reaction when he changed his first 6mo+ poppy diaper since DS had started on some solids. Before that, there was sometimes an odd array of texture, but it basically smelled like buttermilk.
My husband told me he's going to start watching YouTube videos on how to change diapers and how to swaddle so he's prepared. I said, awesome you can teach me how to swaddle when you're done then! I have no idea!!
My husband keeps trying to get me to agree to a number... Like a million dollars... that would make it so he never had to change a diaper. HA! Sorry buddy - no amount of money is going to make that happen !! :-) these videos are hilarious!!
Love these! I showed DH a FB post of "Newborn Photos Gone Bad" and he was grossed out...I can't wait for him to get his first explosion! I'll be ready with the camera
It's funny--I gag changing the cat's box or picking up dog poop, so I was sure when DS was born I'd be so grossed out by diapers. I never was though, even the crazy explosive up-the-back ones. Emptying his toddler potty now sometimes makes me barfy, but I blame it on the pregnancy hormones.
Funny dads and diapers story: My grandfather was a pediatrician for over 50 years, so you'd think he'd be a diaper pro. I was his first grandchild, and my mom said the first time he changed me, he put the diaper on backwards! LOL...even a professional can be a little lost in the daddy/grandpa role, I guess!
