5 Smart Tips To Deal With Messy Diaper Emergencies

Imagine yourself enjoying a nice outing with your family and suddenly you realize that your baby needs a diaper change! Your baby’s diaper has leaked and the poop is all over your baby’s clothes while the stink is like adding insult to injury (or at least this is what the poor mom thinks at the time). This can happen anywhere and anytime as a baby’s routine is not predictable. If this sounds familiar then you need to read through to save yourself from such an incident and be prepared well in advance for such emergencies. Here are some diaper hacks that can save you from such a situation:

1. Carry Resealable Bags

Although the regular bags are fine when it comes to the storage of leaked diapers and stained clothes, they cannot help in keeping the smell away. So even if the diapers are out of your sight, the foul smell will remind you all the time that something needs to be taken care of. This is when these resealable bags come to your rescue as the soiled clothes can be sealed in them and you can keep the stink at bay. These bags can be stored easily in your regular diaper bag without transferring the poop stink to other things. The used diapers and wipes can be sealed in one bag and dearest mommy can get back to whatever she was doing and deal with the diaper disaster when she gets back home.

2. Keep An Additional Set Of Clothes In Your Car

Carrying spare clothes in the diaper bag is something that every mother does, but having a set of clothes for your baby and yourself in the car can save you from a lot of chaos during such times. The diaper can leak anywhere and sometimes mom’s clothes are the best place for it. A set of extra clothes can be handy not only during diaper leaks but also in case of vomit or milk spillages. An extra set of clothes can be a savior in such situations, allowing you to get back to the party or the outing just as new!

3. Extra Pack Of Baby Wipes Goes A Long Way

Baby wipes can come handy not only to clean your baby but also the things on which the poop has leaked onto. For example the seat of your car or the plastic interiors of the car can be cleaned with these wet wipes as well. So, a separate pack of wipes can be kept in the storage of your car to deal with such mess. They need not be the softest kind which you use for your baby’s skin, but the regular ones work just fine on stuff like car seats or even your clothes if the damage is small.

4. Paper Towels Or Napkins To Soak The Leakage

Although the wipes take care of most of the mess, it cannot take care of the pee that has leaked out or even vomit, for that matter. Paper towels come to the rescue at such a point and can be useful in soaking the spillage before you get on with using those wipes. A roll of paper towels in the car or your baby bag can come handy at this point.

5. Disposable Changing Mats

While the regular rubber changing pads work fine at home, disposable changing mats can be quite convenient while you are away. They fold easily and can be thrown away after use and can save you time from cleaning another item along with the soiled clothing.

So, the next time you are going out with your baby make sure that you have covered all these areas and enjoy your time to the fullest without the thought of a poop explosion spoiling your fun.
