Nap Time 'Poopers'

Same here. I really don't WANT to wake a child, but I'd rather wake them than leave them in their own waste.

Good grief, I never thought it would ever be a debate about whether it is better to change a diaper of let them sleep. :confused:

And, I am wondering why no one has answered my earlier post asking how one would feel if it was their OWN CHILD left to lay in feces for two hours for the sake of good sleep.

People don't tend to answer your posts because you have an attitude that screams of "I am right and anyone who disagrees does not deserve respect..differing opinions are not allowed." The very fact that the last sentence has an eyeroll at the end of it is exactly the point.

As to the question, I raised eight children and NEVER woke one from a nap to change them, unless stuff was leaking from the diaper. No rashes or other issues. So no, no problem with my own sleeping through it.
In my experience MOST of the time, they poop just as or just before they wake up, but still I would not wake them.

See, that is not true. I get close enough to see their little chests rising and falling, make sure they are not in any kind of an unsafe position, but I do NOT get close enough to sniff their bums. If I were to smell it, maybe (though I still doubt I would wake them), but generally, I do not get that close. M

My consistent pooper, even upon wakening, is not usually evident until I actually pick him up out of the PNP. I would be changing him immediately anyway, since I know he poops at nap, but if I didn't pick him up, I still wouldn't smell it.

People answer my posts plenty....they don't respond when they know I am right and they are wrong. Instead of being able to have a productive discussion, they suddenly become victims. Honestly, I don't have the time, nor the patience for that. Trust me, there have been plenty of times that I have learned from others here, I don't get defensive and automatically argue just because they have differing viewpoints. I listen, learn and take what I can to improve upon my own practices. But, when I see something that is BLATANTLY wrong, I am going to say so. Honestly, I find it VERY hard to believe that any child can be left laying in feces for a couple of hours and not develop any redness or soreness whatsoever. I also find it difficult to believe that any parent would leave their own child in feces for a couple of hours, and if they did, I would consider that MORE neglectful than a provider doing it.

FTR.....I have three or four years of posts here, with some being controversial but many being helpful, useful, professional and caring. I am not out to get anyone, and by no means do I think I know everything. IRL I am collaborative in nature. I work closely with many, many providers. I LOVE to learn from others, and I LOVE to share my experience and knowledge with others. I have grown professionally in large part due to my interactions with other providers. But, again, when I KNOW someone is wrong AND it pertains to the health, safety and well-being of children, I am going to voice my concern and my opinion. Take it or leave it, it's up to you.

Hahaha! I can smell every one of my kids from a mile away! I have a very sensitive sniffer though. I couldn't bear to leave a child in a dirty diaper, air quality is WAY to important to me :

I feel the same.

I wouldn't even consider enrolling a family that didn't care as I personally DO care and wouldn't leave my own (or daycare kids) in poo. ever.

My apologies

...I did not mean to imply that every kid smells or doesn't smell... LOL! :

:

I should have said in MY personal experience I've never had a kid poop that I couldn't tell.....Just getting within 12-24 inches of them, I can smell them so IME, there is NO way I, personally wouldn't know....

Wonder what parents feed their children so that their poo is milder to the sniffer...

I have some pretty RIPE kids. Thank goodness I only have 3 in diapers right now and a majority of their diet still consist of baby food.

Once I had a little girl who ate extremely clean at home. They were European, and ate nothing processed and just much healthier than most of my kids. And I swear her BMs had no odor to them. I have no idea what caused that, but can't say I was complaining.

I am sure that diet has ALOT to do with smell.

I know the kids I have that eat fast food on a regular basis.

.....they toot...ALOT.

I'm late to the party...wow! I knew I had read on here before about nap poopers because when I read it I had one myself that was doing it.
Things were so calm back then LOL

My one kiddo that has the worst BMS I've ever smelled also is my worst eater and has a horrible eating habit at home. ALL fast food or just junk.

He hardly ever eats here.

Poop happens. And when the poop hits the the fan, you gotta deal with it. That's life.

happyfacehappyface Oh my gosh, I think if you had been the first comment when I posted originally it would have settled the debate before it even started :

LOL I absolutely agree that diet must have a lot to do with it. The one little two year old eats pretty well. Mom and Dad pay very close attention to his diet.

I have a three year old (non napper) that someone with NO sense of smell could not miss. That boy can clear a room!!!
