Toddler wont have a bath, help!

My 2 year old has pooped twice in the bath within days of each other. Which ive had to take them out quickly because their poo very quickly comes out of its poo formation and disintergrates. They cant go back in because it takes 45 minutes to get it all out..... ive not panicked when it happed just went mummy cuddle towel time. But they now wont have a bath and screams poo, poo. Toilet. No! And has the biggest melt down. They wont have a shower they hate water over their head and its a two person job in a shower. At the moment ive tried just putting them in an empty bath fully clothed to play ( which sometimes theyll accept). They wont go in with a nappy or with a swim nappy on. They used to love a bath sooo much and i feel so guilty that ive made them terrified of a bath. What else can I try? Im a single mum.

I'd take them swimming more, on top of their weekly lessons. Make them water confident again

Car seat help!! 🙏🙏

(Please ignore the messy car)
We had this car seat fitted yesterday by Halfords but the seat belt is in the way of putting my baby in. The guy who fitted it said it has to be like this so it’s diagonal in the back but I can’t put my baby in from the outside I have to go inside the car and buckle her in.
There must be another way 😩 or some trick to fix the seat belt down easily, put baby in, then put it back out? I need to sort this out asap because she already hates the car seat and she’s especially annoyed at it after daycare so I can’t make it worse 🥲

Having to take baby everywhere

Do people take their babies with them to hairdressing appointments ? I’m desperate to get my hair done but my 4.5 month old is literally glued to me 🤣 she feeds every 2 hours so I can’t really leave her with any yet !

Breastfeeding

Just wondering how often everyone is breastfeeding? My 8 day old is on the boob all the time and several people have suggested a dummy. I’m not anti getting him one but not sure if I’m just giving in too soon and it’s normal for him to be feeding often at this stage. He’s definitely not only eating once every 3 hours!

How do you put your baby to sleep for a nap? I’m losing my sanity it’s getting so hard and he’s always been sleeping on me

Ease my mind please 🥺😭

I'm lactose intolerant, it's gotten more mild as an adult (next day I live on the toilet with a belly ache, it's not an allergy but an intolerance so can be quite painful and was horrible as a child)

My sweet girl is 2 weeks and 6 days old, I was changing her nappy and found a small amount of coffee ground blood. Straight away it reminded me of the struggles my mum had with me and how she was so scared of the blood in the nappy she took me to A&E.

I've called our doctor and booked an appointment but I'm just having a horrible day mentally with it. I hope she doesn't have it as it's not nice to live with and it causes so much discomfort especially her being so small 🥺

She spits up a lot, she can poo 4-5 times an hour, she gets visibility uncomfortable when she's gassy and once she's relieved, she's so much more happy.

Has anyone else got a baby with cmpa? Any advice as I'm almost certain this is what it is, I just need my doctor to confirm 🥺

What would you do?

So I've just seen a profile on here of a mum who commented on a post and being nosy as I am I just clicked on her photo and can't stop thinking that her son has a lot of features of a baby with Sanfilippo syndrome.
I have never spoken to her or matched or anything.
Would you tell her? Just in case she doesn't know or hasn't heard of this?
If you were her, would you like to know?
