DISQUS

THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING NIGHT AFTER NIGHT, as our 14 month old daughter has a ritual of bathtime around 7:00pm. It doesn't matter if she poops before the bath or during the day. Something will come out unexpectedly. I reach for the tiny potty at any sign of grunting or red-faced silence. It doesn't work. The past month or two have made bathtime miserable for her and us. When we gasp at the train or logs of mess, sometimes a smear all over the bathtub, she sometimes cries because she knows she pooped in the bath. Today was the worst. She pooped once, I got her out to clean it out, then I put her on the rug because she was walking everywhere and getting into the toilet. Bad mistake. I hadn't had the chance to wipe her. I curled the rug and put it aside to wash later.

it went on and on, I put her back in the tub, she pooped again. Took her out but this time she had wet feet and no rug, slipped and fell down twice. Bumped her head. Tried to get into the toilet when I was dumping the buckets. Got into TP, the cabinets, the diaper wet pail...

Lastly, I want to know what to do. Maybe we should start giving her showers instead. But then it's not as fun for her. HELP!!!
