Because baby poops don’t care that you’re at brunch.
If you’re a new parent, there’s one universal truth: the blowout isn’t a matter of if—it’s a matter of when. And for some reason, they always happen at the worst possible moment: in a checkout line, at a coffee shop, or right as your food arrives at a restaurant.
Don’t panic—we’ve got you. Here’s your funny but totally functional guide to surviving a baby blowout in public like a seasoned pro (or at least faking it).
Step 1: Don’t Make Eye Contact With Strangers
That suspicious warmth creeping up your baby’s back? You know what’s coming. Pretend everything’s fine. Smile. Politely excuse yourself. Waddle away with dignity.
Step 2: Head to the Nearest Changing Area (Or Get Creative)
If there’s a family restroom—bless. If not, you may be improvising on a bathroom floor, a park bench, or the trunk of your car. You’re living the dream.
Pro tip: Keep a portable changing mat with you always. Bonus points if it’s wipeable and large enough to act as a poop shield.
Step 3: Deploy the Emergency Kit
This is where your diaper bag MVPs come in:
● Wipes (like, so many)
● Ziplock bags or a wet bag (for soiled clothes)
● Spare outfit (ideally a one-zip wonder)
● Hand sanitizer
● A toy or snack for distraction
Step 4: Contain the Damage
Remove the onesie with care (like you’re diffusing a bomb). If the situation calls for scissors… well, you wouldn’t be the first to cut a onesie off. Roll everything inward to avoid poo transfer. You’ll thank yourself
Step 5: Reset, Recover & Re-enter Society
Once your baby is clean, dressed, and adorable again, take a moment to breathe. Maybe cry in the car for 12 seconds. You did it. You survived. And guess what? You’ll survive the next one too.
Finally: Award Yourself The Blowout Badge of Honor
Every parent earns this badge. It’s part of the messy, magical rite of passage into parenthood. One day, you’ll laugh about it. (Not today. But one day.) So stock that diaper bag, stay alert—and remember: You’re not alone in the poop
