DD (9.5 months) has pooed in the bath 3 times in the last week. We used to bath together, but my enthusiasm for this has, erm, waned lately.
She has been constipated, which is an ongoing issue despite loads of fruit in her diet and occasional juice to try and keep things moving, it is particularly bad of late. I wonder if the warm water of the bath is just the most comfortable place for her to do it??
I wondered about putting her (cloth) swimming nappy on her in the bath? Can I dissuade her from doing it at this age? Did it happen to anyone else's child, and did they stop doing it as the constipation got better?
My bath has never looked more clean from the goings over it's had with bleach this last week! But we can't keep on like this.
