12 Diaper Change Moments Every Parent Can Relate To

You would agree that your life as a mom has been eventful; some have been good, some have been bad, and some have just been in-between. For all the challenges and stress that comes with the duties of being a mom, there are some comical moments that you’d fondly remember.

The irony of the matter is that, at that moment, these situations you laugh about now aren’t always so when they happen. It’s almost inconceivable that you’d see the funny side of a story that ends up with your baby messing up your work clothes when you’re running late.

And we know you’d have lots of experiences like this. Let’s take a peek into some relatable diaper changing moments.

The time you had to go back home or stage a surgical clean-up at a parking lot because, well, your child couldn’t help but do its business in the car seat. And the only reason you caught up with the act was that you just happened to glance at the rear-view mirror at the right time.

2. The Tarzan

You cleaned up the car seat mayhem, and you probably just want to have a moment to yourself. But then, you realize you have no extra clothes for your baby. Having made it this far, you wouldn’t let that stop you. After all, it’s a baby, and they don’t care much about shirts, pants, or shoes.

3. The Hoodwink

When your baby needs their diaper changed, and you feign concentration on a complicated task, hoping someone will take the reins and do the job. For this ploy to be effective, make sure your act is at a visible setting.

4. The Half-full Diaper Apparel

There’s this crocodile act called the death roll. It’s a sequence of rapid and powerful rotations crocodiles use to overpower their prey. It’s impossible to stop a death roll once the action is set in motion. This whole situation with the diaper is similar to a death roll. Only that, instead of a crocodile, it’s your baby who’s in somewhat of a wardrobe malfunction – a half-full diaper.

5. Click, Click!

Some excrements have an odd look that leave you in a bit of a conundrum. So, what do you do? Turn your partner’s phone to a digital septic tank by sending poo pictures.

6. The Diaper Dash

When your home turns into an Olympic track and field event because your child wouldn’t stay. And they make you work to change their diapers. Those times bring you face to face with the reality of the saying “small but mighty”.

7. Some Magic

So, you get your tools ready to perform your form of the surgical cleaning operation. But it’s like some magic happened – you can’t find the mess you cleaned off the diaper. Where did it go? Oh no. It’s stuck under your shoe. So much for being meticulous, right?

8. The Solved Mystery

You know, when the color of the poop looks different. It could be because granny feeds your baby too much of something.

9. Nowhere To Run

If only you could control that impending pee aimed at your face.

10. The Public Changing Table

In public and needing to change your baby’s diaper? You have your changing pad because you don’t want to use the unpleasant public changing table. But you can’t do this without first setting your baby down on the public changing table.

11. The Vigorous Dancing

You’d never imagined that your baby can kick so hard until you find yourself in an unexpected melee as they engage you with some sudden, fast, and furious footwork.

12. The Whodunit

It looks like someone needs to get changed. Or is it just the gas? But no one is admitting to it.

They say the life of a mom is stressful. Damn right it is. But most of those stressful moments, you’d find, later on, will bring so much smile and laughter to your face. For now, though, try keeping up with life.
