Grown uo bathroom time

Seeing I am here alone during the day I am petrified of walking away and my daughter getting into stuff and getting hurt However, I am having a hard time with my bathroom breaks. Do you other moms take your little to the potty with you? Then its her playing with stuff in the bathroom so I end up not going and being uncomfortable. Leaving the door open and telling her to play in her room half works but she can't be trusted to stay in there until I am done. Also that time of the month, can't explain that to a little? What do you other mommies do?

i just go and leave the door open. she comes in and out and there’s stuff in the bathroom that i don’t care if she plays with. my daughter sees me changing my pads all the time during my period, i just tell her what it is. if you need her to stay in her room maybe get a baby gate

Under 18 months I set her in the porta crib while I went. Past 18 months I would let her play in my bedroom while I used the attached bathroom. My bed room is baby proofed so I have no worries there.

My son walks in and out on me all the time. During that time of the month he asks what it is and I explain it in toddler terms. If he notices I’m bleeding he will try to bring me stuff. But usually he asks then isn’t interested and walks away. It helped with potty training to because he saw the process from beginning to end.

Bring her with you and baby proof the bathroom so you can relax.

I’ve always taken my son to the bathroom with me. He’s almost 2. I don’t have any other choice. He showers with me too when I want to shower. He climbed my kitchen table once while I was trying to fix a coffee and feed my dog. I can’t go to the bathroom alone lol

I've just...gone. If they get into stuff....I clean it up 🤷🏾‍♀️ I guess I'm just not that bothered by their messes enough to freak out about it. There's nothing dangerous down where they can get it so I'm just chilled about it I guess.

I go and leave the door open. Everything is babyproofed, but he usually comes in with me and makes me read to him while I go lol

I have bath toys in my bathroom that my little girl plays with while I'm going to the bathroom
