How to deal with it. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't apprehensive going into having a baby about the shitty end of things. However, turns out it's not the least bit gross so far, more funny and science experiment-ish (I can eat a granola bar while chatting to the New Dad as he changes her and look over his big shoulder to see the diaper contents. Then discuss the contents). Helps that Baby Z seems to enjoy diaper changes and laughs and smiles her way through them (provided she's not super hungry or sick). The routine is pretty simple, pop her on the changing pad with a couple of sheets of papertowel underneath the bum to catch sudden pees or a huge messy splatter bum poop. A couple of swipes with the Nature Made wipes (referred to as "the German wipes"). I warm up a wash cloth (special ones Nana-to-Z bought before you panic about having wiped your face in the shower at my house) and put the wipes on top of the hot washcloth before I start and then the wipes are warmed. A swipe of the wipes, a final thorough wipe with the washcloth and then a creaming with either the Best Bum Cream Ever (not it's real name) or the Live Clean Diaper Rash Ointment. Usually try to let her air dry after the wash cloth but not always possible. During the air dry we play with rattle-puppy or the Einstein rattles.
Long story short, the diapers of choice in this house are "the german ones". They are more square then the traditional name brands and she seems to find them quite a bit more comfortable. Also they are super absorbent. And they are super easy to put on.
Anyways, the local store that sells them is almost always sold out. Proof is in the bum pudding.
