11 times the horror that is a 'poonami' happened to parents

Okay, let's just say it. Babies poo a LOT. And sometimes you're just not ready for it.

Either your baby decides it's time to go at the one time they're not wearing a nappy, or the nappies can't control the sheer amount coming from such a little person.

These tidal waves of baby poo are known by another name. The 'poonami'. No one knows when one is going to hit, and no one is ready when it does. But when a poonami does strike, nappies can explode and parents are left washing clothes and furniture for what feels like forever.

And it can happen to anyone. Every parent will know that sometimes nappies just fail to do their job, or your baby decides it needs to go at the most unfortunate time.

So, to show that very real side of parenting, we've rounded up some of best images showing that no one is ever ready for the 'poonami'.
