FIRST NAPPY CHANGE EVER!
hi all,
as the title says ive just had to change my nephews nappy for the first time!  URGH WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! 
im currently at home, literally holdin the baby! parents are at work and my sister has been taken into hospital, which leaves me and the baby at home
together! i have never been overly keen on babies and until Finley came along i had never even held one! he's just past three months old and
getting to that cute stage when they are all happy as larry! but my god i never new babies S**T so much, i had a face mask on and everything! the
smell was that bad i was wrenching and had to run to the toilet. He never stopped crying through the whole procedure! cotton balls and baby wipes
everywhere and talcum power all over the place! After bathing the little bu**er and putting him in fresh clean clothes he was good as gold, stop
crying straight away as soon as i stuck a bottle of milk in his mouth!
what a morning! i dont know how women do it on a daily basis! honestly fair play

I know what you mean. I love my kids but have always been happy to go out to work! or should that be 'nappy' to go out to work!!
Looking after young babies is the best contraceptive out their and totally natural too

You get used to it. If you're using disposables it easy to do in well under 30secs for boys who cooperate.
Plonk them down on a the mat, unhook the tabs, front down, legs up , couple of wipes with a babywipe, whip the old one out, new one under, legs down,
front up, tabs on Kids done. Wrap up the old one and get rid asap before it stinks out the house.
Never needed cotton wool balls and talcum powder.

Fantatic write up Ian
i would also recommend not putting it off too long. Once they done a stinky the mess only gets worth with time - although highly recommended to wait
until they are finished too
Babies are so easy to pacify. Its usually either a change or a feed required. When they are quiet you know you have done well. When they get older its
when they are quiet that you really need to worry! Its then that you start to research what the best stuff to cover up felt pen marks or clean carpets
is!

just wait till you get one that spills out the sides and ends up going up the babies back and ends up everywhere

I look after my mates kid sometimes. If they go out for a meal they put him to bed first and then I sit around till they get back. I always have the
monitor thing nearby but I'm not sure I'd have a clue what to do if he woke up or started crying.
Actually now I think about it, they always tell me he's in bed when I go round, maybe he's not even there?!?!?

It's a lot easier to face when they are your own kids!

My nephew (also Finlay) always manages to escape when I have to do it, probably a combination of him being uncooperative and me being the worlds worst
nappy changer
I hope I get better at it when mine arrives

Other nightmares include:
The ones who wait until the nappy is off before peeing all over you/the clean nappy.
Worse where they grab the clag filled old one fling it at the dog who tries to eat the contents. Meanwhile the little bugger has a secret handful of
poo which they then proceed to wipe on you and themselves while you're distracted by the bl**dy dogs antics.
Happy days...

It really isn't any worse than cleaning up after a pet, and at least they are happy when you're done.

oh dear this all sounds very nasty, Miss Whippy says we will have to go 50/50 when bringing up kids
I know which half will be hers …I’ll do the playing with toys and lego bit
hope we have boys as I fancy a big train set

Lego kit? You were lucky to have a Lego kit! We used to live in one room, all hundred and twenty-six of us, and all we had was this.
and it was just the one brick
and it wasn't proper lego but a cheap copy
