Poop vs. Poop

People will tell you that baby poop smells sweet and doesn't stink.
It stinks.

It stinks and it's messy because a baby who is on a liquid diet of breast milk for the first 6 months or so of his/her life has liquid poo.  Furthermore, it doesn't matter how talented you are at diapering: Liquid poo has the uncanny ability to leak, squirt or explode out of a diaper no matter which brand of disposable or reusable/cloth diapers you use. Of course these explosions will mostly happen when you are in public on the one day you are without a change of cloths in the diaper bag you are carrying for your bundle of joy.  This is an inevitable fact.
Another inevitable fact is that one fine day you will miss that stinky runny poop, because there is something that smells worse: real poop.  I realized today that the reason people tell you that baby poop doesn't stink is because it doesn't smell even remotely as grotesque as the poop that comes from your baby's cute little tooshie once he/she has started eating baby food.  OMG- it is vile!  It does, however, stay (easily) contained in the diaper as it is a more solid consistency.  I must say that I am ever so pleased that this new super duper stink poo cannot be expected to occasionally present itself up my daughters back, in her arm pit or behind her ear.
So, I guess there are pro and cons to both kinds of poopie, but don't ever let anyone tell you that baby poop doesn't stink - cause that's just a load of crap.
