Poooheeeee!!!! So you are presented with, what those in the know, refer to as a Poo-tastrophe. Your lovely new baby isn’t so lovely anymore, they are caked from head to toe in their own excrement and no one at the hospital showed you how to change a nappy, let alone sort this mess out.

Oh my god… a dad’s worst nightmare... a baby that is crying inconsolably and there is nothing you can do to stop them, so what’s the problem???    Well, it could be that they are starting to teethe.
