One diaper change away



I'm one gross diaper change away from screaming. If I could run away I would. How do others handle this horrible job without throwing up?

Not there yet either. For my mother, it didn’t bother me at all. I felt so happy to help her in her time of need because she was my rock and favorite person ever. For hubby, I won’t feel the same but I’ll do it cause it needs to be done💜. Many Hugs coming your way!

Evolve to a high fiber diet, maybe even start an occasional metamucil orange juice drink. Watch for subtle signs of distress. If you have some idea of your LO's schedule, plan on toilet sitting for a while. I also installed a bidet that sprayed warm water to facilitate the clean up. Once it starts I've not heard of fecal incontinence stopping. Sorry, Rick

Yes, it’s gross. My DH seems to be starting to be double incontinent. I don’t ask him anymore if he has to go to the bathroom, I just put him on the commode. And I spray a lot of Thieves air freshener. Great stuff.
