All About Diapers: Diaper Blow-Out
Submitted by mdmbttrfly
I left my house early one morning for a doctor's appointment one hour away, with baby daughter in tow. I realized she has had another famous *blow-out* in her diaper, but there is nothing I can do about it on the highway. Deciding it is too cold to change baby in the car at said destination, I wait until I get to a public restroom. Once in the public restroom, I realize the *blow-out* now covers the entire baby, stroller and 50 percent of MY body ...
OH, BUT WAIT ... now I realize that I forgot to pack baby wipes and there are NO paper towels in the friggin' restroom! Baby is now completely naked, covered in poo and I am washing her off in the sink, all the while, women stroll in and out staring at me—as if THIS IS MY IDEA OF A GOOD TIME!! One woman actually stops to "coo" at the baby, yet offers no assistance to me whatsoever. I then have to remove my top layer of clothing, and use the clean side to dry the baby off, leaving myself in just a t-shirt in 40-degree weather!
This begs the question ... would it make me a bad mother to carry around a flask of alcohol for emergency situations such as these??
