How to stop bathtub pooping?

But is there anything we can do to help it stop? It's getting really really old having to fish out the poop, scrub the tub, and disinfect the toys every. single. time.

    Does he have any tell signs before he decides to drop the kids off in the pool? N doesn't do it often, but she likes to pinch one off on occasion.  Do you have a potty chair?  I keep one right by the tub, so if I do see her start to push, I plac

    Yuck, definitely not fun.  We've never had this happen, fingers crossed, but we kind of expect DD to drop a big load after dinner and we usually let her run around until she does.  Also, can you watch him for straining or squatting and yank h

    I've started inserting a longer playtime between dinner and bath to avoid this.

    Gator was the queen of shiiting in the tub. She did it like 6 times in a row. I just chalked it up to her being relaxed. Then one day she just stopped and hasn't done it since.
