Tactical to Practical

[No_Regerts]

I keep an IFAK on my body armor carrier for work. I added one to our diaper bag at home. Wife thought I was going a little overboard. Until today.

My daughter had a HUGE blowout. Out the sides, up her back, everywhere. She is a fiesty 10 month old and it can be impossible to keep her hands out of the poop. Out came the medical tape. I crossed her arms over her chest and ran a couple wraps of tap to pin her arms and provide a barrier to stop poop from going farther up her back.

The clothes were white prior to the poop hemorrhage and beyond salvage after she dropped the deuce. If I tried to pull them over her head, poop would have been smeared everywhere, especially her hair. Out came the safety scissors and I just cut the clothes off, using the clean parts to wipe most of the poo off her. I had her cleaned, diapered and dressed in minutes.

Ordering a molle diaper bag. To make these items more accessible.

What a great story you can threaten to tell her dates in years to come!

I'm relieved to hear you're using your powers for good, and not evil.... even though being evil is more fun, because good is dumb.

 

[slimmer13]

That's what it's there for. When the SHTF.

Hope @No_Regerts took a picture! When my kids were teenagers, they threatened to remove certain photo's from the wife's family picture albums. I was brought in to scan the pics just in case.

I always had a hose at the ready or they cried all the way TO the hose....

Not to crap on your story. But most little kid clothes have the shoulders setup so you can pull the whole thing down past the diaper instead of over the head. Using scissors is probably more fun though

Haha great story! Good times, good times. Thankfully all of mine are in their teens now, but I hear ya. I also went with the tactical diaper bag. I set up a Maxpedition bag to carry the diapers and baby gear one one side, 45 on the other.

Didn't think of that.

 

[hatchj]

Only reason i know is ive been in the same situation. She's 2.5 now. Didn't have anything to cut with at the time and didn't want poop on her face. Noticed the slit things so I kinda guessed. It impressed the wife even.

 

[Joe13]

Great story.


Annnnd been there - without the safety scissors though

 

[clearconscience]

Been there!!!!

I can remember a handful of blow outs up the daughter back.

Clothes in the trash and kid straight in the bath.

And of course I have the photo evidence

 

[The Heretic]

Now, just wait until you get to be a "senior" and you are the one that has the "blowout".

@No_Regerts , I feel for ya. Hang in there!!
OMG, the flashbacks are immense. I'm laughing. At you, with you, and can imagine by closing my eyes. At times being a father is "gulp" real tough. Little does my daughter know (she's engaged) I am now contemplating some "pay back" by showing a few select pictures at the pre-marrital gathering.

I have a picture in the baby book of my Wife sitting on the lid of the throne holding my daughter up like Simba at the beginning of the Lion King movie and just covered in baby poo. I was supposed to get towels but the camera seemed more important at the time.

Wish I had a smartphone back then cuz I'd have video as well
