So, after 11 days of our new baby, Heather and I have come to find an issue we are not sure at all how to change, handle, or deal with. I think I could count the number of times one one hand that Olivia has kept the new diaper after a diaper change on for longer than 5 minutes. Usually, the first five seconds are all it takes for her to "load" a new diaper.
The other day, she wore 4 diapers in about 20 minutes. We've found that she doesn't necessarily like sitting in her poop, so she'll wait until you have the diaper off to continue going. Sometimes, I think the little bit that was let out is just a ploy to get us to take off her diaper. We've had her pee and dirty brand new diapers virtually every time she get's changed. Earlier in the week, I thought that I'd foiled it and done it right, even waited an additional 5 minutes for her to finish her business, but as soon as I pulled the old diaper away and the new one was in place, it promptly became the 2nd old one. This evening, I had it totally foiled. I wiped her up and didn't move the old diaper away, and sure enough, there came the second pooping. Yessssss! I'd done it. I cleaned it up again so proud of myself that I'd only used the one diaper. Then, as I'm carrying her back out to the living room, I feel the rumble, and know.....she's done it again. Ohhhhhh. Ohhhhhhh. Don't even....... I was not a happy camper. Not mad at her necessarily because I know she doesn't know better, but mad that there goes another diaper out with the trash.

Maybe she's ready to be potty trained?
