I hate changing stinky diapers

Grampa's should not be subjected to changing stinky diapers, besides its pretty embarrassing to change a baby girls when your whole family has been male up until now. I'm afraid to look and touch, with all the sensitivity of abuse I am looking over my shoulder and all around expecting to get arrested or something. But when it's only you and the baby girl what can one do.

What can you do? You learn to hold your breath for a little over a minute and prepare everything so you can streamline the entire process. Get a plastic grocery bag and open it up. Tear off seven or eight sheets of baby wipes. Untwist the powder bottle. Lay out the new diaper in the right orientation, and away you go.

Yeah while she is kicking and trying to crawl away. :). My boys used to squirt me in the eye, I learned to flip the diaper up and back down to trigger the shot.

I have learned, through relatives with little girls (i have all boys)...they tend to be self-cleaning quicker than boys....so you have that silver lining

Muscle memory

I dont have any grandkids yet...im excited to teach them to leave the lights on, open the windows when the AC is on, that there are levels of clean to pants and underwear, deodorant is optional,

Pretty much everything my boys thought was right and proper..normal ans customary. My Future DIL may hate me....but the memories LOL

I changed the majority of the diapers for 3 girls. I've been diaper-free for a little over a year now. Yeah, it's a pain, but honestly, the alternative is worse.

My dad is one of those guys that refuses to change a diaper if he can get out of it. But seriously? Nobody likes a stinky diaper. Not you, and not the kid. So you do a favor for both of you and change it.

You're afraid of thoughts of abuse? I'll tell you, I'm more prone to thinking abuse when a baby is left in a stinky diaper.

Just remember to wipe front to back on the girls.

How's that saying go about dealing with life? Embrace the suck.

Enjoy every minute you have with that little girl. Life seems to have kicked up another couple of gears for me. Can't seem to find the time lately to enjoy things I used to.

Before you know it, she will be talking about boys, and you will wonder where did that little girl go.

About 15 years ago I would babysit my niece when my brother and his wife wanted a date night, time alone, etc. I've changed many diapers on her. The thought of abuse or getting arrested NEVER entered my mind. I mean, I'm changing a diaper!

What happened in the past 15 years?

I know you're not the father here, but when a man complains about nappies i know he's not doing much of the childcare. Because nappies are possibly #374 on the list of difficult things about looking after a baby. It takes about a minute to do and you get an instant result, which can't be said for most other parenting activities...

I am a guy who is very sensitive to smells but honestly diapers never bothered me, vomit does and my youngest daughter had reflux so it was just a part of life.

Two old cop tricks to get past horrible smells:
Vicks under the nose
Altoids : the original white peperment kind in the tin can. Take three pop it in your mouth wait 5 seconds then go

Try these

My father swears by clothes pins on the nose lol

I think you've summed it up perfectly wolf. Complaining about sensitive nostrils when you have a tiny person to care for is more than a bit weak no?

I hear that bottle fed babies have much worse and frequent dirty nappies than breast fed, so maybe I was spared some uber poo...but then again maybe I just got on with it as a minor part of having a child.

I got like a 5 minute hug from the little sweety today. I may complain about changing diapers but I always take good care if her.
