Forget Stonehenge! How did cavemen change diapers? (What did ancient peoples do with babies going poo & pee on them?)

OP doesnt just walk around pantless, shitting and pissing with free abandon, i bet you wear shoes too dont ya and use deoderant too OP ya poofta.

Off the top of my head, I'm inclined to think animal skins. However, in those times I'm sure there was more to worry about than excrement.

^Butthurt cos his mom couldn't afford diapers and flung him against the wall one too many times as punishment for pooping and peeing!



Answer the Q instead of spewing insults! Watch Blue Lagoon and Brooke Shields is making the baby walk underwater.

What about when it couldn't walk? Even if cavepeople made diapers out of leaves, the pee seeps thru!

So HOW did those babies make it thru their infancy when the natural reaction to stench and gross evacuations is to grab bwaby by ankle and fling against cavewall!!!

Well yeah but the "more to worry" means more stress = more likely to take it out on the baby.

YET! CNN NEVER reported about those baby deaths! Poor babies ended up like this:


^Baby poo-poo splat
against da wall!

loin cloth diaper

they just used a rabbit skin as a diaper i bet

Better question, how did cavemen even survive without toilet paper and indoor plumbing?! Did they just shit all over each other?

They were cavemen in the first place, a step above monkeys. What do monkeys do for diapers? I doubt the excrement bothered them too much and I'll bet they stunk to high heaven.

You are a seriously tiny-brained individual.

..... CNN misses a lot of shit, don't they?.....

They taught babies how to fling poo just like monkeys.

A poo flinging baby, baby

It has nothing to do with my OP and you know it!
Try again!

Yes, they do!!!

And the pee dripping on the mother's thighs??
Seriously THINK about this! The baby can't be propped up. WHAT do they do to it/him/her when it starts flooding?!

but that's gonna keep me up tonight, thinking about all the baby brains splattered against cave wall! I bet archeologists, reading here, now will find plenty of baby brain matter on cave walls!

Grass or moss inside animal skin.

You gotta read clan of the cave bear.

Also noted from a source in which I do not remember... The answer is simply babies have more survival instinct than we give credit. All the mother had to do was hold the baby out in front of her and the baby knows when its hanging out and just goes.. they are supposed to know when cuddled up not to go, but go in the breeze. Cuddling was different cause you're always on the move.

Good question

Thank you: I'd have never thought of that, let alone looking it up, LOL! Clever you!

And hats off to 5lats, he was right!



But I doubt that book was written by anyone who was there?

But very good call, the holding baby out in front.
Thanks to both of you, the mystery is solved, HURRAY!!!!

I can now sleep at night all over again! No more baby brains on the cave walls!!


Thank you all (except the 1 nasty troll!). This has been an incredibly fruitful thread. I now close it. (But will it stick?...let's find out!)

=========THREAD CLOSED========TRHEAD CLOSED========

I'd suppose as a mother you'd be aware of the signs so you'd hold the baby out in front of you. Mother's wouldn't be distracted by tv, internet, chores, or the like.

That's a fun question right? Seriously? OP doesn't have kids I suppose?

Just look how they do it in tribal groups all over the world right now!

Hint: baby gives signs when it has to "go".
Breastfeed it until it weans itself, carry it around on your back, co-sleep, by the time kid doesn't want mothers milk anymore, kid can speak and walk and go 1 oder 2 by itself.

That's how it's done naturally.
not like in the "developed world" where you bottlefeed, put pampers on it and make it sleep in its own room (but the families pets are allowed in the parents bed) and put it in cribs or elsewhere far from their mother.

(Next question from op: how did woman personal hygiene while menstruating without pads and tampons? - answer: look how tribes do it now!(during these days woman go to special woman hut "because unclean" - I suppose it's because the stench of blood attracts predatory wildlife)

..water.

They ran around naked or just had a dress on them. No bottoms.

Joe biden had a time machine and licked all those babies butts clean and clear


its why we are still alive today

Far more complexing to try to understand somebody was the first baby ever, without parents, who fed it and looked after it?

What do the Chinese do? It’s traditional to leave Chinese baby butts uncovered. I think you can still find this in China today, although maybe it’s more rural now. At least I’d hope it’s mostly a rural thing now.

Monkey. Or aliens.

"Bye baby bunting, daddy's gone a hunting to get a little rabbit skin to wrap his baby bunting in."

Sometimes these old, ditty rhymes are the clue.

Rabbit skins are fairly water proof to begin with and if one layers it with leaves and wrap it all around with a swaddling cloth, all the wet would be contained.

I would suspect after a certain amount of time during a "diaper change," all a mother would have to do is unwrap, change out the leaves and re-wrap. Now, how long the rabbit skin stays "dry," needs washing or how many skins you need to keep on hand, is a whole different mystery.

BTW, breast fed babies's poop doesn't stink very much at all.

In India and other places they use wet tubes, it fits over the genitals to feed the urine out a hole in the bottom of the cradle.
