Yes, I am the mother who is currently not allowing my child to wear anything other than his diaper. Since he is only 4 months old, I'm sure he isn't upset. Why this ban on clothes? You ask. Well the answer is all about the poop. Karston is a champion pooper. From the day we brought him home he has excelled at this talent. He ate-he pooped; he sneezed-he pooped; he hiccuped-he pooped; I think you see the trend. Let's not forget the mid-diaper changing poop. That was a special rocket explosive poop that came out with GUSTO! leaving me to wonder who jumped on the mustard bottle?
When he turned 2 months old I read in all the baby books that it was not uncommon for babies to start pooping only once a day or LESS!! In my happy dance I jiggled to the left and jiggled to the right as angels sang the chorus to Hallelujah.
I had underestimated my sons pooping capabilities. He still pooped 6 times a day. I shouted to the heavens "where are these babies that poop only once a week?" Last month my wish had been granted, and my son started pooping 1 to 2 times a day. Moral of this crap filled story? Be careful what you wish for. Now I have 6 diapers worth of poop coming out in only 2 diapers. The few times we don't have the joy of a blowout, the diaper is completely saturated and poop oozes out throw the cotton lining.
As I type this he has not had a messy diaper for 36 hours. (When did my life become all about counting the hours between poops?) Good thing it's a warm day and the garden hose is ready. Of course there is always the back-up plan.....doggy tongue bath.
