What classifies as a CODE RED?


Every Mother has had to do it at one point in time. It makes you gag, makes you want to burn your whole house down to get ride of the smell, and makes you feel the need to throw boiling hot water on your hands to get clean...that's right ladies, we've all changed some pretty nasty diapers.

Handling poopy diapers is just something you have to get used to as a Mom. But what about those "Code Reds"? Here's how you know you've changed the nastiest diaper in your life:

#1- You can smell what you are about to get into from across your house. 

#2- You think everything has been contained in your child's diaper. You slowly open the zipper to their sleeper and realize things are pooled at the bottom of the feet. 

#3. You wish you could call your husband home from work and say "your turn".

#4- A "blowout" normally consists of poop going up the back...a "code red" situation consists of poop going up the back, front, sides and legs of the diaper. Nothing is safe. 

#5. You have to shampoo the carpet after you have finished changing your child. 

#6. You, your child and your dog ALL need a baths. 

#7.  You are digging poop out of your child's belly button. Cursing the doctor that tied your child's umbilical cord to be an "innie".

#8. You start running out of room to pile up the half a box of wipes that you are using to wipe your child off. You resort to dumping the clean wipes out of their plastic container and stuffing the dirty ones in.

#9. You have a visitor 4 hours later and STILL have to explain the odor in your home was caused by a "code red". 

#10. You decide to invest in a hazmat suit. 


Happy diaper changing!

  1. Eych. thanks for that all too vivid reminder.

    By the way, I'm not going to say that cloth diapers never blow out the back, but Diaper Circus diapers contain the poo a lot better than disposables ever did for my boys. Especially out the back. Unfortunately, I'm also all too familiar with code reds...
