We had an incident about 3 weeks ago - my twins were both in the bath splishing about happily and before I realised what was occurring one did a big sloppy poop in the bath. I didn't handle it well - I was home alone with 2 babies in a poo soup, I scooped them out but there was fallout and had to try to stop them both escaping covered in poop, get all the poopy toys out etc, get a bowl to stand them in to hose them off while trying to contain the carnage. I cried, they cried. It was just horrible. Since then the pooer has refused to get in the bath. Some gentle coaxing this eve while the other splished about happily didn't work, not does singing speckled frog song which she loves or'look how much fun sister having' type comments. We already have some DH attachment issues as he does the child care while I'm at work so this was a thing we all enjoyed and now I don't have that even. She's able to tell me she doesn't like the bath but not why when I've sat her down to try and talk about it with her. Any advice would be much appreciated, I need to clean my baby!
