Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Weird question ...

How do you manage going to the bathroom when you're in public??

This is kind of becoming an issue as I'm pregnant again and can't seem to make it 30 minutes without having to rush to the ladies room. :-P But what to do with my little guy? He doesn't stand on his own yet and obviously I'm NOT going to sit him down or prop him up against any surfaces in a public bathroom. Gross. 

Once there was a changing table in the stall and so I strapped him on it. Another time I managed to wheel his stroller into the stall with me but it was super crowded and I felt pretty weird about it. I've contemplated trying to hold him, but that sounds a little too acrobatic. :-P 

Someone please tell me there's a better way!

    I am interested to see if people have better ideas too. So far most of the time I have him in the stroller so I wheel him in to the handicap stall with me. Once I had him in a cart so no stroller and I really needed to go so I just held him in one arm. That was somewhat challenging.

    Yeah I've had to hold him while I peed...but I also wasn't pregnant! So I can't imagine how difficult it is. I always wondered the same thing though, I love that ikea has a little chair on the back of the stall doors that you can strap them into to sit in. Very convenient and thoughtful!

    Maybe I'm just built weird or its my ergo sport, but that would be impossible for me as it covers my waist and zipper, so I just have to take short trips and go at home or go with a friend or dh who can watch lo for me.
  • I just hold him in one arm. Sometimes I have to do this at home when he's being clingy. It's not really a big deal, though it might be more difficult as your belly grows.

    I am not expecting, but this is what I did when I was in the airport bathroom, with no space for a stroller, and I wasn't about to wait for a bigger stall...

     

     I used my carrier. I have a bjorn, so she can face forward. This is important because then her legs go the same way as mine, and i don't have to worry about them touching the toilet. Awkward? Yes, but it worked. Also, it's something that I can get her in quickly, so when you gotta go, you can do it in only a couple seconds.

    For my little man...I only knew you in my heart. D&C 3/1/11 EDD 9/8/11 Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

    I held him on my lap just last week! It was awkward & I have no idea how I would do it if I was pregnant. Hmm

  • OP, this might be a good question for the 2 Under 2 board, as well.

    I usually try to wheel the stroller into the stall with me.

    Stroller or shopping cart (whichever she's in) in the Accessible stall.

    Wear your baby. Pee while wearing baby. It sounds weird but isn't that hard. We prefer a Tula to the Ergo at this age. Edit: just saw the pregnant part...so baby goes on back and you sit on toilet backwards.

    Kudos to you, but I did not have the acrobatic capabilities to do this while pregnant!  I'd have fallen over!

  • Wheel the stroller in. I did once roll him half way into the regular stall since it was the last stall and just kept the door open. No one was going to come and peek inside and I was done in 30 seconds.
