This video was sent to me today in email with the subject line “Why Babies Have Mothers.” It’s not to say that mothers are the only ones who should diaper a child, but why is it that so many mothers are the ones who end up doing the diapering?
I love the mom in the opening piece of this video. And, I’ll never understand how these men can’t change a simple diaper without gagging or wearing a napkin over their faces.

That’s priceless…. and true…. and….. I remember it happening to me…… the first few times. I wonder whether mums have a built filter which screens out the “YUK” factor in baby poohs….However whether “Baby Pooh” is an acquired taste ( I mean smell) or not it can be acquired or at least endured without the facial paraphanalia with practice and of course you get alot of that. I’ve got three young men (22,20 and 17) all of whom did their share of poohing as babies and toddlers but they all survived and so did I. Of course i did discover some handy hints such as using a hose on the nappy (once removed from the baby) to clean it. I hung it on a sleeper wall in the yard and hosed the contents into the ground. Fertiliser? Hmmm… Well we all survived. GREAT VIDEO!!!
Thanks John for adding the male perspective!
I hate to say it, but I was a mommy who did a lot of gagging while changing diapers. In fact, one time the smell was so sickening that I opened the diaper pail and vomited into it! I was SO HAPPY when my son was potty-trained.
I love the fart in the face after the powder with that puff effect. Too funny!
