Parenting reality:
On more than one occasion I've changed our son's diaper, only to have him poop in that fresh diaper only a few minutes later, necessitating another (stinkier) diaper change.
The initial reaction used to be: Well, what I just did five minutes ago was kind of a waste.
The reaction now is: Hey, at least he didn't poop on me in the middle of me changing him.
Changing two diapers where nothing is actively being expelled from your child is always far easier than cleaning up what gets expelled in that window after the dirty diaper is removed and before the clean diaper is applied.
Nothing done is a waste of effort if the outcome could have been much worse, especially when it comes to baby poop.
