Stupid question from a lurker... I'm 38 weeks pregnant with #2 and DD is 23 months. Starting to think of the stupidiest things of manging 2 at home. The latest thing I came up with today is what to do with post partum bathroom issues - DD is almost always in the bathroom with me as she is newly toilet trained and likes to flush etc. Do I just try and keep her our or how do I explain the peri bottles, pads, etc so it is simple and yet keeps her out of things? Medicine for Mommy's owie?

If you have to bring her in the potty with you, just do it. If she asks questions, tell it is to make mommy better. I wouldn't make a big deal out of it. The other day my toddler watched me put a tampon in, she was in awe. She could not believe where it went, it was almost funny to see the expression on her face. I would have prefered some privacy, but she comes in the potty with me at times and it had to be done. I tried to do it discretly, but not so much.
The same thing with the shower. It would be so much better if maybe she didn't come in and open the shower door and just leave it open and then walk out. But what can you do? They are curious and interested and want to be around us.
