Help!!!

My almost 2 year old has been pooping in the bath and I honestly don’t know what to do, she has a bath every other day(unless for some reason she’s extra dirty) but how do I get her to stop pooping in the bath? I tell her it’s nasty and “no poop in bath” but I feel like she just doesn’t understand and I’m getting frustrated with it because it’s a continuous thing now for the last like 2 weeks. Any advice is helpful.🥲

When I was little I remember taking baths with my brother (2-3 years younger than me) and he would always poop in the bath. There wasn’t much that was super helpful to get him to understand but eventually he just stopped and grew out of that. I guess they just get too relaxed in there and it comes out 😅

Bribe her. Give her a bath everyday and tell her she can get candy if she doesn’t poop in the bath. Or idk get something of high value.

My son did the same thing, he just stopped 2 months ago (he’s 2 and 3 months). They gotta go when they gotta go. I think it’s time to start potty Training if you haven’t already. I would just clean up the poop and my son and then move on. He eventually stopped 😅

Try sitting them on the potty before bath

hmm, that sounds super frustrating! maybe try taking her to the potty right before bath time to see if that helps, or just keep reminding her gently that the bath is for washing, not pooping. this is what the 'Heal Baby Care App' mentioned… hope it helps! "It's understandable to feel frustrated; this is a common issue for toddlers. First, try to establish a routine where she uses the potty before bath time. You can also make the potty more appealing by letting her choose a fun book or toy to use while sitting on it. Lastly, if she does have an accident in the bath, calmly clean it up without making a big fuss, as negative reactions can sometimes reinforce the behavior. Have you noticed any patterns in her bathroom habits before bath time?
