  Just this evening I was drying off my 3 year old daughter while my 1 year old son was still playing in the tub only to be asked \"WHAT is he PLAYING with?!?!\". This question and it\'s horrifying tone sent shudders up my spine long before I ever locked eyes on the brown bits my son was ever so intently pulling apart. Thankfully my daugther is self sufficient enough to dress herself so I could warp into crazy poobaby and poobath cleaning mode. I don\'t wish this crazed panic moment on anyone! What\'s worse is that he had a poop diaper change prior to ever getting in the tub, so we thought we were in the clear. Guess he hadn\'t finished.

  Great tips. Luckily we've never experienced such a mess with our two year old, but that may also have to do with the fact that he's never taken a bath. He's a shower kid. Even as an infant. But I can't imagine anything worse than Mr. Hanky floating in the tub.

  This article makes light of the situation (which it deserves) but poop in the tub had weird consequences for my family. The first (and so far only) time my daughter pooped in the tub, she was terrified. This lasted 2 weeks, with her screaming and literally clawing at us not to put her in the tub. In fact, every time her diaper was off she would grab her bottom (to the point of painfull scratches) and scream bloody murder. Eventually it passed, and now, like before, she loves baths.

  I have a hysterical and disgusting picture we took quickly when this happened to my daughter. Totally worth it for when she's 13. This happened several times over a few weeks, then never again. My tip... as soon as it happens, one of you get into the shower with her in another bathroom while one of you cleans up the tub. Have fun deciding which of you gets to do what.

  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!!!
