Sleep Poop

Becoming a parent opens your eyes to a whole world on new things. But one of the most bizarre in my experience has been the sleep poop.

Baby J goes to sleep with a fresh, clean diaper. Later, I'll go in to wake her up and she has a humungous dirty diaper. Apparently, at some point during her nap, she poops in her sleep. It's the strangest thing. I can't understand how it happens. How can she sleep so peacefully with a heavy, sodden diaper?

Baby butts work differently than their adult counterparts. I guess I should consider sleep poop a blessing. It's not like she's waking me up in the middle of the night for a diaper change. Maybe sleep poop is a good thing.
