My son just ate his own poo

We've had a great morning, thought we'd round it off by getting the paddling pool out this afternoon.

It's usually a pretty low stress activity for us parents. One-year-old is happy to sit in it filling up his beakers with his watering can while we look on.

In the nanoseconds it took me to turn around and get my bag he had pooed, had it in his hand and was bringing it to his mouth. I'm not sure if any of it actually went in but he definitely had some his lip.

Cue poo chaos. I dislodged poo from hand and poured a beaker of water around his mouth to get the poo off his lip and if any, poo out of his mouth. He then, understandably shocked, reached out to me smearing the poo that was left on his hand over my boobs and chin. I now smell of shit while he happily plays bathed and in a nappy. Husband fishing poo out of paddling pool.

Didn't want to use up one of our water nappies... won't make that mistake again. Guessing he'll be ok?!

Dd1 did this twice. By the time dd2 came on the scene I was more prepared so it didn't happen but don't worry he'll be fine!

Both my children done this at the same age. You'd think I'd have learnt first time round but nope.

and if it doesn't happen to you then you can be almost sure that it happens with dh, grandparents or other family Grin

My pfb pooped in the bath once, fished it out and threw it at my head. I was screaming in disgust! I just couldn't believe someone had thrown poo at me!

I should have been grateful as I had no idea of what i know now hes is 16 and has three siblings!
