What do you do when they poop in the tub?

byrne15

DS#1 never pooped in the tub (Ok, it might have happened 2-3 times ever).

So far, DS#2 has pooped 3 times in the tub.  Maybe I am just an idiot, but I seriously cannot figure out a good way to deal with the poop incident.

For a little background, I bathe DS#2 by myself since DH works until 10PM and I usually bathe DS#1 at the same time.  So, they will be happily splashing along in the tub and then the poop occurs.  Now I have 2 naked wet kids that I want to get out of the tub ASAP.

So my question is....what do you do when your lo poops in the tub?  Just take out the poop?  End the bath there and give up?  Drain, clean and try again?

Drain, clean, go again.... DD has done it a hand full of times. I usually take out the plug out of the tub, stick her under the faucet to rinse off, rinse the tub with the other hand, stick her back in and fill.  It really is a skill I have developed lol.

Drain, clean, and try again.  We haven't had this problem with DS yet, but it seemed to happen every couple of weeks when we bathed our former foster children.  We would wrap them in towels until we were ready for round 2.  We could have used the bathtub in our other bathroom, but the kids didn't seem to mind waiting.  We soaked all toys overnight in a bleach water solution.

Drain, clean, go again...although it's never happened to me, but I bathe DS by myself too. SO has bathed DS maybe two times?

I would have a bouncer nearby with a towel, take the baby out...and ditto other, drain, clean, and put baby back in.  Think if it was you and you were in a tub of poop
