Doing poo at bathtime!

Oh dear, lately my dear 20 month old dd has started to wait until she gets in the bath to a bath! I don't think she is ready to potty train yet but she does seem to know what she is doing. Any ideas? And is this a sign she is ready to potty train?

She sounds very young to potty train, but it wouldn't hurt to stick her on a potty before she gets into the bath and see what you can catch, so to speak!

my ds did this for a short while. It was just a phase and we found by not reacting, he lost interest and stopped.

Tah for the advice wigwambam and mckenzie, I think I will get a potty but just to see if she wants to do anything before her bath, otherwise i will try my best not to react although it is hard not to make a face!!!! I think you are right that she is bit young for potty training.
