Today’s episode is about stealth pooping - and what to do about it! It is a guest post from our certified coach Samantha in California who proposes 4 strategies to get good at catching poops when your baby gives no advance signals. “One of the ‘easy’ catches, as taught by Andrea, has never been an easy catch for us, and that is poop.
