Oops my baby crapped in your house

September 20, 2009 by James Dunsford Leave a Comment

What do you do when your newborn has an accident at a friend’s house?

The first time out with a baby can be stressful for new parents, especially when the people they are visiting are still single and childless.

However, with the right amount of preparedness and humor, it’ll be easy to get through any unexpected occurrences.

But what if you don’t have a spare diaper? First off, breathe. Then get to the bathroom.

The important thing to remember is to clean off your baby first. Use warm water over the sink and be sure to use a soft paper towel to wipe them off. Once dry, you can start being creative with the diapers.

Traditionally, some people have used a t-shirt as a makeshift diaper or an older football jersey. Each are fine as a temporary fix, but your baby in a t-shirt diaper is probably a cue to go home. This is because a t-shirt really isn’t a diaper and because your baby, as well as your friends, may have had enough excitement for one night.

This ushers in phase two of the situation: talking to your single friends about what just happened. It’s natural for new fathers and mothers to feel a little alienated from their single friends and childless couples who may not have a lot of experience with babies.

In this case, it’s important to remember that communication is key and that simply explaining to your friends what happened should be fine. In fact, this may even spark up a conversation about parenting with your friends peppering you with questions. Expect some weird ones.

But in terms of avoiding these types of situations, parents should be prepared whenever they leave the house with their child. Sure, it may seem tedious lugging the large bag filled with extra bottles, clothes, diapers and wipes. But in the end, you’ll be thankful you did.ADNFCR-1662-ID-19369376-ADNFCR

Great Dad Talks
Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad.
