To Pee or Not to Pee

We had the exterminator in for our annual bug take down which left the house full of toxic fumes. For this reason, Linus and I had to spend most of the day away from the house. We left at 11 in the morning and returned around 4:30. The house was open the entire day so I'm hoping most of the fumes dissipated. I hate having the exterminator in but I guess I just hate bugs even more.

While we were out, I changed Linus's diaper in the car twice. This is quite a challenge as he is and always has been a major wiggle worm. However, as often as he had a potty break, I had none. It is not that I didn't have to pee, I just didn't really know how to make it happen. I had Linus in the sling and no one else along to hold him while I went.

How does one pee while supervising a baby on his/her own? At home, I just let him crawl around but in a public restroom?!?! Any ideas?

Here are a few I could think of:

a) stroller
b) handicap stall w/baby changer - if you strap him down and pee quick, it can work
c) sit baby on your lap...tricky, but do-able

I'm with Steph. I just leave CC in the sling. I'm using a kangaroo carry in a Peanut Shell when that works for me.

Hi! I just stumbled onto your blog from the Babywearers blogring...I third leaving him in the sling. Practice at home first a few times. It's easier than it sounds!

Yep--in the sling. I had to try it when Lily and I were flying to Florida on our own, and I HAD to use the airport restroom. That sling was a life saver!
