Anderson, 31, is well versed in blowouts. “They always happen when you are least ready, and they always happen when your baby is wearing white,” she tells Us Weekly. “That is kind of the rule for blowouts.”

She continues: “Every parent who has had a kid knows what a blowout is like. They’re disgusting and you always have that second of, like, ‘I don’t know what to do … where do I start to clean this baby!?’”

Anderson soared to internet fame in 2014 when Ashton Kutcher shared her hilarious video titled “Why Co-Sleeping Is No-Sleeping.” In the clip, of Anderson and Ellia trying to share a bed, the baby is seen tossing, jamming a finger up her mother’s nose and even breaking wind in her face. 

“We’re showing the reality of parenting. … There’s poop involved and there’s throw-up involved and there’s frustration involved, there’s loss of patience, there’s a lot of things involved in parenting,” she tells Us. “We’ve had a lot of people say, ‘’Thank you for making me feel like everything is normal.’”
