After an 'easy' (?) two weeks period of straightforward (??) diaper changes, we hit our first hurdle today. I am kicking myself for thinking prunes purée a good dinner option for her. Those jars are going to be shelved until she gets out of that cast (sorry hon!). She had her first diaper blow out. We were getting by on a newborn size for the inner diaper, but not today. Given that she's still always at a less-than-45 degrees angle, the diarrhea rode up her cast, fortunately on the rear side.
The clean up took forever. But with the help of a chopstick and lots of gauze sponges, we finally cleaned the inside of her cast and most of it out. The rest of it dried out over the next few days and was cleaned up during the next few diaper changes. I was careful to be very gentle and didn't let the area get red or sore. Phew! about sums it up!
