Shit happens-In this case, Meconium!

What is that dark, thick, sticky substance that our babies first pass? Meconium is the earliest stool of a newborn human infant. Unlike later feces, meconium is composed of materials ingested during the time the infant spends in the uterus: intestinal epithelial cells, lanugo, mucus, amniotic fluid, bile and water. We encourage you use a gentle organic oil (such as *Birth & Baby oil* from @motherloveherb) to help with those first diaper changes-The oil helps the skin stay moisturized during its earthly transition, the meconium is then not able to absorb and stick to the skin as easily, making diaper changes much more gentle and easier for both the parents and baby.
