I look forward to a day I go to the bathroom without a baby crying or a toddler tantrumming/ whining/ barging in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-with-cranky-baby-and-your-bathroom-needs#post-2117575 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 15:03:53 +0000 SweetiePie 2117575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make him wait! Using the bathroom is a basic need, so unless there's a major problem I let him fuss and cry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-with-cranky-baby-and-your-bathroom-needs#post-2117571 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 14:48:15 +0000 yoursilverlining 2117571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: agree.

Kids need to learn the world does not revolve around them, otherwise it is going to be a very rude awakening for them once they start school/daycare or whatever other setting where they are with other kids and their needs are no longer supreme. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-with-cranky-baby-and-your-bathroom-needs#post-2117438 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 11:10:10 +0000 sarac 2117438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pee.

Not only for him to learn to wait, but then I feel more comfortable and don't feel as rushed to get him to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-with-cranky-baby-and-your-bathroom-needs#post-2117383 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 08:46:01 +0000 winniebee 2117383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take care of my immediate needs first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-with-cranky-baby-and-your-bathroom-needs#post-2117380 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 08:34:53 +0000 StbHisMrs 2117380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pee first, and I totally understand the waking up the older sibling too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-with-cranky-baby-and-your-bathroom-needs#post-2117378 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 08:31:13 +0000 avivoca 2117378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pee.

We also co-slept in the beginning and I'd just nudge DH to soothe my LO while I was gone for a minute. </p> <p>I'm sure your DD will learn to sleep through DS having a fit :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-with-cranky-baby-and-your-bathroom-needs#post-2117289 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 01:00:11 +0000 birdofafeather 2117289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always pee first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-with-cranky-baby-and-your-bathroom-needs#post-2117285 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 00:49:02 +0000 lemondrop 2117285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's amazing how they just know when you are heading for bed! Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-with-cranky-baby-and-your-bathroom-needs#post-2117284 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 00:42:16 +0000 littleblessings 2117284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AprilFool: @lemondrop: I wish I could do that. I have this intense fear of DS throwing a fit and waking up DD. I also cosleep so DS doesn't know his crib yet. Starting in about 4 months he will. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-with-cranky-baby-and-your-bathroom-needs#post-2117283 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 00:35:35 +0000 lemondrop 2117283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, maybe because he's my second, I make him wait. But I also stick him in his crib and walk away for a few minutes and he's gotten much better at falling asleep on his own. Wish I'd done that more with my first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-with-cranky-baby-and-your-bathroom-needs#post-2117282 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 00:34:35 +0000 AprilFool 2117282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let her be cranky. The minute it takes me to pee won't kill her but it takes a lot longer than a minute to calm her down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-with-cranky-baby-and-your-bathroom-needs#post-2117280 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 00:30:23 +0000 littleblessings 2117280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nurse my youngest to sleep. Often when I'm about to use the bathroom before I go to bed he wakes up cranky. This also happens when I'm trying to get him to sleep and all of a sudden gotta go. What do you do when you gotta go with a cranky baby wanting attention? If you wait for them to fall asleep or be calm, how long do you end up waiting? </p>
