Dude poops upwards of four to five times a day. A DAY, people! And we’re not talking the second one is leftover from the first one kind of poop. We’re talking full on, wholly independent, fifteen wipes, under the balls, centimeters from the top of the back of the diaper kind of poops.
Battling this kind of pooping requires strategy, such as in the form of meal planning. I seriously plan their meals around their bowel movements. Overnight pooping (which leads to massive diaper rash for Mateo)? Make sure his fruits are in before 1:00 p.m. Poops too watery? Add starches, reduce dairy. Good day for watermelon? Better have some bananas handy. After dinner poops? Move the proteins up in the day.
These kids are as much science as they are art.

This cracks me up, because only a mom would write this stuff, and only another mom would know EXACTLY what she’s talking about.
I, too, have to make poop-related decisions around various fruits and their quantity and timing. Especially for Rebecca.

oh, you KNOW it, Goddess in Progress. All the more reason not to skimp on the diapers, too.
