I’ve had to deal with some pretty bad things in my life…maggots, filth, vomit…even chicken Spam (the thought alone makes my stomach heave) but if I live to be a 100 the close second after chicken Spam is baby poo.
I ran a state daycare for years and I can tell you that some of these kids were just terrible…at least what came out that end. Even the tiny ones are terrible. I mean what are parents feeding these kids…LOL
Thankfully I have no tiny ones around and so my diaper days are over although I can still do it if the emergency arrives.
So, why is baby poo so terrible? Is it a defense mechanism that God gives babies to test parents? Do you think it could somehow be used in Chemical Warfare? (I bet if we shot it at Iraq they’d gladly give up just so we would quit firing it at them) LOL What is the worst baby poo nightmare you’ve ever had to deal with? Are you retired now or still in the game?

Retired? I have not even started having kids yet. But I can not wait. I could really skip the poo thing though, LOL. But I have changed my nieces and nephews. I would have to say that the experience with my second niece was the worst.
She was only about three days old. I took her diaper off to change her and poop just started running out like water. It went all over the changing pad, her bed, her socks, it was just so gross. I managed to clean it all up nicely before her mom got back him. I was babysitting. I was only 19 at the time and I had totally panicked.
Oh just to let you know, poo stinks so bad because it is waste from the body. Some smells are much worst than others. The yellewish kind is what my niece had and it was sooooo yucky.

Rozie I saw that you had responded to this, and you think the yellowish kind is yucky. Here is a funny story, I think you will like it.
As ham sandwiches go, it was perfection: a thick slab of ham on a
fresh bun
with crisp lettuce and plenty of expensive, light brown, gourmet
mustard.
The corners of my jaw aching in anticipation, I carried it to the
table in
our backyard, picked it up with both hands but was stopped by my wife
suddenly at my side.
Here, hold Johnny (our six-week-old son) while I get my sandwich,"
she said. I had him balanced between my left elbow and shoulder and was
reaching again for the ham sandwich when I noticed a streak of mustard
on my fingers.
I love mustard. I had no napkin. I licked it off. It was not mustard.
No man ever put a baby down faster. It was the first and only time I have
sprinted with my tongue protruding.
With a washcloth in each hand, I did the sort of routine shoeshine
boys do;
only I did it on my tongue.
Later, after she stopped crying from laughing so hard, my wife said,
"Now
you know why they call that fancy mustard . . .
"Poupon."

I am long out of that stage but I will say when the baby wakes up after all night and the poo is almost up to his neck and you have to give him a morning bath before you even feed him. That was my worst nightmare lol.

I just entered the game LOL my son is 3 months old and i still cannot get used to that stench!! Hubby runs away from poo diaper and i want to beat him with a stick everytime!!! My worst poo nightmare was once i was changing my son's diaper and he hadn't finished pooping, so he pooped and peed all the way up there at the same time!!! But i got a better one for you...when my brother was a baby, my mom heard him wake up, so she went into his room to go pick him up....as she approached his crib, she smelled something terrible and before picking him up, opened the light...my brother was covered in poo, so were the wall in back of his crib, his sheets and part of his crib....he had managed to remove his diaper full of poo and was having a ball playing with it...we called him Picasso!! LOL

My youngest is 7, so I should be out of that game. However, I do run a daycare in my home, so it looks like I will be dealing with the stink of poo for a long time and running.
I think the worst is when the kids are getting older~ 2 yrs, and should be potty trained. Then it is grosser and stinkier!!

hello twoey.
I have retired from that game years ago. But now that my son is almost 5 years old, my husband and I are thinking of having another baby again. And the cycle begins!
I have this unforgettable experience concerning my son's poo when he was only a few months old. I was changing his diapers after he defecated. What I didn't know was that he wasn't done yet. As I was to lift his legs, something greenish suddenly came out and missed my fingers by mere inches!Close call!
My husband who had experiences assisting in the operating room, was very squeamish when it comes to changing our son's diapers. He said he couldn't stand the smell!

My daughters friend needed a baby sitter one night while she ran up to the cities to pick up her brother from the airport....well there was two of them....one just over two and a new born...well the newborn wouldn't quit crying....and the two year old kept his shoes in his hand and bawled about going home the whole time....well the baby filled his pants...so I opened the diaper to one of the biggest messes you have ever seen...I was gagging and choking....well he wasn't done. I pick up his little legs to start cleaning him off and there was another big squirt that shot across my arm....all over my couch and on the carpet!! And the two year old was standing their screaming! I was never so glad for a mother to come to my house as I was that night....my whole house stunk! She forgot to tell me he had ear infection and was on some kind of meds!

What an interesting discussion! As far as my own children they are grown and I don't have to worry about changing their poo diapers, can't remember any incident with them in particular, but there were many times I had to put them straight to the bathtub to clean them up.
My grandbaby is nearly 8 months old and I've had to change several of hers but I haven't came across anything to disgusting yet.
I like your idea of shooting them off to Iraq, that is too funny.

I am now quite retired from the baby game as I am a senior citizen and myworst case scenario is now almost fifty. but he was just nine months old and I was once again pregnant. i came in and found Robbie had takenof his diaper and had veryliberally smeared baby poo all over the end of his crib and was giggling at his work. I was dumbfounded and the odor was not helping the early morning nausea one iota plus the job of unsmearing baby and crib and crib ending.afterwards with baby all nice and clean and smelling good I took him out and let him walk and run and I never had that experience again. I think he thought i had abandoned him and I think for an hour maybe i had as I had not expected to get pregnant while stillnursing my first baby. whew well I lived thro good and bad and came out on top the second baby was born brain damaged and I had my sweet LIsa for eight short years a sweetheart of a child and nobody should lose a child ever. whata heartache that was.

..my daughter lives here at home, so I watch her children when she works, etc.. My grandaughter is now 9, but there's a new one on the way! Hopefully most of the poo will occur when mommy's home!
I can't think of a poo horror story, xcept for my niece having a very bad day at the park at about age two while I was watching her.. such fun! She's still one of my favorite nieces tho! Go figure!
- I have a good number one story though! First time home, and immediately upon arrival at home, our son being changed on the sofa peed right on dad! I thought it was rather touching in some weird sort of way..

The worst one I had to deal with was my very own son. He's been smelling like a grown man since birth!!! And I'm not the only one that says it.
My grandmother let him spend the night a couple weeks after he was born. She changed one messy diaper and thought it would be alright in the garbage can in the house until she got back. When she did return to the house, the diaper had smelled up the entire downstairs area. She had to throw it outside.
His pre-school teacher thought there was something wrong when it happened to her. Actually he had been a little gassy for a while, and she called home to see what was the problem. She felt that he was having extremely large bowel movements for a child of 4, and the stench was very loud. I again had to explain that nothing was wrong, that was just my son!!!
I know if they started flinging his stuff, even now at 7, Al-qida would give up on its own!!!

Okay, I'll add to this. I did chilcare for a number of years in my home. I had one little guy who had allergies - bad allergies. Besides the constantly running nose, he was on goat's milk. That has to be the worse smelling poo I have ever experienced and I handled a lot. I did foster care for many years after this. Because of my own allergies, my sense of smell disappeared - every time I changed a diaper, I was glad I couldn't smell.

owwww ..I know that smell..but in the nursing home the adults have a very bad smelling (fowl) discharge that is right up there with baby poop.
I never had chicken spam..and will never have this as spam is bad enough...it is not fit for human consumption to my way of thinking..but it is better then nothing.
you sure are graphic in your post..ewww..i can smell that stuff now..lol
have a nice day

It doesn't really bother me- not baby poo.Babies don't stink that much, I think. Sure, every once in a while they drop a stink bomb, but for the most part it's pretty tame.
What bothers me is 3 year old poo in a diaper- or worse- in underwear. That is potent. There were times I thought I'd pass out.
