> who remark how the thought of changing nappies horrifying and a really big deal

It’s a similar experience to changing parents diapers when you are an adult and they are end of life. Seems horrific, then you just do it.

Babies are easier because they leave the faintest stain on the diaper the first week or so.

Then it becomes more but not much scent, like a training period. And it's really only 4-6 months that it begins to get foul.

Another advantage for the baby side is a hack I can't believe more people don't do. Just notice when they make a very recognizable face or start grunting then hold them over the toilet.

False positives are no big deal (just a fun change of scenery for the baby), for false negatives you change the baby as normal.

Easier the first week? Have you forgotten the meconium days? I mean it’s nothing crazy but that stuff was so sticky. We thankfully didn’t have any total blowouts but talking to parents who do it sounded pretty rough to clean up comparatively.

Maybe ours was weird then? We just didn't have much volume of that.

No amount of it is pleasant but it still felt, even at the time, like training wheels on a diaper.

		Our first kid’s poops came out with velocity. For the first month or two, every poop change was also a full outfit change. We are very glad that our second kid’s poops come out at a normal speed, so that it is just the normal amount of drool which necessitates the new outfits instead.
