What do you do when the baby pees in the tub and you're alone?

0 votes

Sometimes I give my son a bath and I'm by myself. More often than not, he pees in the tub. If someone else was with me, I could have them hold the baby while I change the water. What do you do if you're alone? Leave the baby in the tub and don't worry about it? Try to bail as much of the water out and add clean water? (We're just talking pee here. I haven't yet experienced more than that and don't really want to think about it. Ew.)

    Yup, at a certain age, this happens all the time. :)

    I don't worry about it. Just think about how diluted it all is (say, tub is 30 gallons, and maybe 4oz of pee comes out?). Plus, pee is sterile.

    Poo in the tub, on the other hand, is certainly something that you don't really want to have to deal with. And yet...

    I don't worry about it also. I don't know if its the warm water or the noise of the faucet (or if she just thinks its funny) but this seems to be happening a lot lately around here.

    Ditto, just ignore it. If you have too big of a reaction to it, it might actually reinforce the behavior.
