I was initially unprepared for the sheer volume of poop that a newborn can produce. But other dads are less prepared than I was. My father-in-law, a man with an easily upset stomach, could not change his daughter’s diapers, as the sight and smell of poop would make him throw up. My mother-in-law tried twice to get him to change the baby’s diaper and, after having to clean up both the baby and her husband, never asked again.
The poop gets everywhere, too. Dads tell of finding poop in the kid’s hair. Toddlers may sometimes try to eat their poop. Seriously kid, I don’t care how cute you are, that’s disgusting.
