Although I was warned many, many months ago about the impending stench of LadyP’s diapers once she started eating real solid food, I had no idea what I was in for. Can you say toxic waste? What used to be ‘no big deal’ has now turned into a huge ordeal that I dread several times a day.
Thanks to Hubby, this surgical mask is my saving grace for all current diaper changes. (Ah, the added and unexpected perks of being married to a doctor.) It keeps LadyP’s lethal fumes out of my nostrils and keeps her giggling every time I lay her on the changing table and put it on. It also keeps me from uncontrollably gagging and puking all over her cute little half-naked body (I’m not exaggerating). And now, I am hereby endorsing this offbeat technique for anyone dealing with a similar situation these days. Pick up, borrow, beg and/or steal surgical masks for your own baby’s unbearable state of affairs down below. Trust me, it’s the only way to cope.
Last time I checked, fabulousness did not include the act of vomiting all over your baby.
For this Fab-Tip of the week, you are welcome. 🙂

I normally just take very shallow breaths through my mouth, but I like this idea!
