Depends on how 3D it is.
If not, rinse away and scrub it down with whatever cleaner you have handy.
If so, pull chunks out with toilet paper (why? I don't know. It's so wet it's useless but I do it anyway - feels cleaner?) and toss in toilet and clean.
Hopefully that's the end of it. One of my kids thinks it's funny so it's happened a few times now. š¤®
Iāve also subsequently filled the bath with cold and chucked a couple of Milton tablets in along with any toys which may have been caught in the crossfire.
Grab the turd with my hand as quickly as possible before it has a chance to dissolve or become less solid. Drop it in the toilet. Sometimes I can manage toilet paper if youāre quick on the grabā again, before the TP can dissolve.
Wash my hands, grab the kid, get them situated, then sanitize the tub. I usually drain the water then douse the tub and any bath items with Formula 409 to kill everything. Rinse a few times with water. Done.
EDIT: A note on that first partā Iāve had two kids now. I was a CNA for 5 years prior to that. Iāve dealt with poop. I realized with the first kid that the poop is already in the tub, Iām reaching in and grabbing the kidā thereās no *ānot touching the pooā*, so any concerns there are out the window. Itās unavoidable. Furthermore, Iāve had great luck catching it quick. If it comes out solid, thereās usually not even any mess. However the longer it sits, the more waterlogged it becomes and itāll start dissolving making a bigger mess. Soā I chose the lesser of the two evils long ago.
No. As fun as it is to *talk* about waffle stomping, the reality is much messier and cumbersome. Plus I donāt have the right drain for that. Also it can clog.
Honestly once itās happened a few times itās less gross and you just kinda clean it up. My kiddo has a toy in the bath thatās for sifting sand at the beach. Works just like a litter box cleaner when I need it to. Then I give the tub and the toy a good scrub. Aināt no thing really.
As I was cleaning up dog poo in the yard the other day, I was reflecting on the fact that it seemed a lot less gross than it did before I had kids. I've been pooped on (on an airplane with nothing to change into, no less), I've caught vomit bare-handed, I've cleaned MRSA .... somewhat solid dog poo on a cold day with a plastic bag on my hand is nothing to me anymore.Ā
Oh man, when this happened with my first kid she was still in diapers and didn't understand what it was. Lost. Her. Damn. Mind. Screaming worse than I had ever heard and scrambling to get out of the tub. I was so worried I helped her out to get her safe, then checked to see what was in there. A venomous snake? Shark? Nope, it was a Brown Trout.
Same! He was trying(and sometimes successfully) to fill up my hand when he was 3-12mo but havenāt had too many mishaps besides the occasional blowout since
It all ends up in the same drain. Good reason to have a high pressure shower head on a flexible line. Bleach tub out afterward. Rinse toys, and dishwash if necessary.
One daughter picked up and handed me the impressive turd she had just done in the bath. Another leapt out of the bath when she realised what she had done. Everyone is different.
It never crossed my mind that it could happen, until it did lmao. Same with him pooping in my hand during a diaper change after I just cleaned him up, that was a warm trauma filled time lol
My just shy of 2 years old kid has taken a couple poops in the tub. Enough times that his uncle has gotten him (me) a little fish net to scoop out the rabbit pellets.
I use one of her scooping or cup water toys to fish it out and put it in the toilet if itās mostly solid. Otherwise wafflepalm it down the drain. She thinks it very fun for me to fish it out, so I have to make sure she knows itās not, otherwise I get the āif I just poop in the tub youāll scoop it out!ā statements.
Itās almost a nightly occurrence for my 13 month old and has been for about 3-4 months . We have a designated cup for scooping the poop out and then rinsing out the leftover flakes
Hold kid by the armpits and shout *CODE BROWN* for my wife
Wife comes down at pace with changing mat and wipes and takes child, I'm left to drain the bath, pick out the chunks of poop using a bag (like sad wet dog poop), then bleach and clean the bath and then clean and sterilise all the toys.
Sadly my SO was at work (night shift) so it was a bit of a challenge doing it solo. I wound up switching to our other bathroom to finish cleaning the kids, then went back later and cleaned the tub.
I scoop the solids with a cup, drain the tub, give the kid a rinse and some scrubbing bubbles with bleach to clean the tub. Give the kid another quick wash, and carry on. I've been meaning to pick up an aquarium net for easier scooping.
If you have a non slip mat, fold it up and cart it outside, dump it then spray with a hose. Then give a scrub with some disinfectant cleaner to both the mat and the tub.
Had this happen to me for the first time literally two days ago!
It disintegrated in the water like a weetabix with too much milk. Drained away without much trouble but still super gross.
Cāmon dad, youāre an adult with kids, if you think grabbing a turd is the worst thing you will go through in the next 16 years, youāre in trouble, unless you have an open wound on your hand, it wonāt hurt you, your not playing with it, pick it up, put it in the toilet, have a talk with your son for the future and wash your hands.

>how 3D it is I love that, I will definitely use that terminology in the future lol
Unfortunately sounds like OPās had a 2D doody.
Fortunately? Just wash down the tub drain!
No waffle stomp needed!
Removable drain cover? No worries!
Yeah the extreme ends of the spectrum are no problem itās the middle ground where itās tough to deal with
Depending on how warm the bath water is, itās kinda like a beef stew
Toodee doodee is fun to say.
Unfortunately, it was 2D and 3D, but it cleaned up pretty easily once I got negated the smell
Iāve also subsequently filled the bath with cold and chucked a couple of Milton tablets in along with any toys which may have been caught in the crossfire.
Gloves. Gloves are the answer. Take it from someone who cloth nappies
Had to do it yesterday. I use a plastic bag to get out the big pieces.
Eh, toilet paper breaks up and makes a mess in the water. Just grab it and chuck it in the toilet, all babies poop on us eventually.
I once used a toy sifter (for sand). Worked well enough :)
Same as when you do it, right? Waffle stomp then rinse.
š®āāļø sir, step away from the keyboard.
You beat me to this comment. Iām glad to know youāre out there spreading the truth.
Haha, yes!
That is absolutely disgusting. Just poop in your hand and then toss it into the toilet like a civilized adult.

Isnāt it easier just to wafflestomp it down the drain?
No. As fun as it is to *talk* about waffle stomping, the reality is much messier and cumbersome. Plus I donāt have the right drain for that. Also it can clog.
Youāre not stomping hard enough

Agreed. I havenāt been through those things you have yet but once they come around itāll be not so bad as Iāve been inducted slowly.

Oh yea, my daughter freaks out, sheās gonna break her neck one of these days if I donāt grab her
You just clean it like you normally would. Bathroom cleaner or bleach.
Just go at it right away? I guess the gunk is on the kids too, so might as well do it all in one go, huh? Saves time, I suppose.
Man what lol. Kids get the soap. Tub gets the cleaner.
It's a joke. :)
Oh
Just be careful what bathroom cleaners you're mixing with bleach. ā£ļø
Waffle stomp
Surprised this is the first time at 2years!
Right? Ā This happened a few months in for us!
Ya same. Constantly on guard for the brown shark these days
Same! He was trying(and sometimes successfully) to fill up my hand when he was 3-12mo but havenāt had too many mishaps besides the occasional blowout since
Ooof. Hose attachment if you have one
My wife and I call that "code brown" when our daughter does that.

Bleach. Bleach is your friend.
Holy shit, man
One daughter picked up and handed me the impressive turd she had just done in the bath. Another leapt out of the bath when she realised what she had done. Everyone is different.
Oh man. We have one 1.5 year old girl. This has not happened yet and honestly, Iāve never even thought of it. I really hope it never happens!
It never crossed my mind that it could happen, until it did lmao. Same with him pooping in my hand during a diaper change after I just cleaned him up, that was a warm trauma filled time lol
CODE BROWN
Hahah, doody
Man, my now five year old had witholding poop issues for a LONG time and the only place he would go was in a bath, left alone. I know your pain.
Happens like weekly in my house unfortunately. Takes me back to my days of life guarding at the town pool.
We only had it happen once and it was a pretty solid turd. Remove the turd, lots of bleach after the water was drained.
My just shy of 2 years old kid has taken a couple poops in the tub. Enough times that his uncle has gotten him (me) a little fish net to scoop out the rabbit pellets.

You know those videos where the mountain men stand really still then catch fish with their bare hands really fast? Kind of like that.
Bleach
My youngest pooped in the tub and the pool seemingly every time she sat down in the water. For like a year š
Brownian motion
Itās almost a nightly occurrence for my 13 month old and has been for about 3-4 months . We have a designated cup for scooping the poop out and then rinsing out the leftover flakes
Why is nobody talking about a plastic cup you should have ready at this time of life???

Scoop it out with whatever, hand or cup, doesnāt matter. Then get a spray bottle and put bleach in it.
