Potty Train Your Toddler All About Poop

May 27, 2020 2 Comments

The one question I got after dropping How To Potty Train Your Toddler in Three Days was “Will this work for pooping too?”

Like you guys, Drue and I had such a hard time getting our children to poop. Even with our oldest Panda who was the easiest to potty train, getting him to poop was a whole different ball game.

Pooping is more difficult and scarier for your toddler. A lot of the times when your child seeing poop in the toilet it can be traumatizing. They cant believe something like that can come out of them. Pooping can also hurt. Imagine that you’re pooping in the most comfortable position whenever you want then being asked to sit on a toilet to poop. Of course they struggle with poop. Which brings me to my first tip to getting/ your toddler to poop in the toilet.

Tip#1 Have your toddler pull their knees to their chest while pooping. Have you ever notice you kids while they are pooping (pre-potty training)? I noticed when my child had difficulty pooping they squat, knees to chest and booty below the knees. That position makes it so much easier to poop when they are constipated. This is what we want to recreate while they are on the toilet. Have them sit on their potty seat then have them put the heel of their feet to the edge of the toilet seat.

Tip#2 Give them toys, books, crayons and paper anything to distract them from the fact that they are trying to poop. Sometimes Drue would have them sit backwards on the toilet seat and put toys on the toilet tank and let them play.

Tip#3 Make sure they aren’t rushing off the toilet! Since they just getting used to using the potty, toddler can assume that the same it takes them to pee will be the same amount of time it takes to poop. We still struggle with this with our six year old. Make sure they aren’t rushing to get off the potty but also they arent sitting on the toilet too long causing them to strain.

Tip#4 Don’t be afraid of prune juice! Anything to make pooping easier until they get the hang of pooping regularly. Mix it with their favorite juice.

Tip#5 Make a mental note of how often they are pooping before you started potty training. Some kids poop everyday. Some every other day. I had one child who always pooped after lunch time without fail! That would be when I would have them sit on the toilet a bit longer.

Hopefully one or all of these tips help get your toddler to poop in the potty! If you find success with any of these tips let me know in the comments or if you have any questions about potty training put those in the comments as well!

Remember I’m not an expert, just a mom who has gone through this way too many times.

Also head to my amazon store to find all my favorite things that made potty training a breeze!

The decision to have children or not should be up to the person who is going to have that child! Period. ⁣
⁣
The comments I’ve been getting recently have been disgusting. Reading them I realized it there is no “perfect” family scenario that would please everyone and I really don’t want to please everyone!⁣
⁣
Drue and I have worked really hard to build and provide for our family. Each child that has joined our family either through adoption or pregnancy has been wanted and cared for. So unless you are willing to contribute your time and money, I don’t want to hear it.
Maybe there is a reason why you had a miscarriage Maybe there is a reason why you had a miscarriage and you should just adopt again. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
That comment someone said after my miscarriage was probably the most hurtful comment. It also made me so angry because I feel like people have this idea that couples only adopt because they cannot have children of their own. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Oh you just had your fifth miscarriage? Adopt.⁣⁣
Oh your going through IVF? Why spend all that money you should adopt.⁣⁣
Unexplained infertility? Adopt. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
You guys the solution to these problems aren’t adoption.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I didn’t adopt to try to replace the child I loss. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I adopted because I wanted to give a child the love, guidance, security to a child who didn’t have it because every child deserves that. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Those are the reason why anyone should adopt. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So the next time someone is going through infertility, the loss of a child or going through IVF please stop yourself from telling them they should ”just adopt” ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It will never come off the way you hoped for.
SURPRISE SHAWTY! ⁣⁣

I had a miscarriage during the pandemic. ⁣ ⁣ I I had a miscarriage during the pandemic. ⁣
⁣
I know I wasn’t the first or the only one. ⁣
⁣
I felt like I had done everything right. I tracked my cycle for months. Took my prenatals. Did my research and found a Black obgyn in my area. Got my positive test. Had my HCG levels checked every 48 hrs. ⁣
⁣
Everything was going great until it wasn’t. ⁣
⁣
I woke up one morning and all my pregnancy symptoms were gone and I just knew. I had my HCG levels checked one last time but i knew I would getting a phone call with bad news. ⁣
⁣
The thing about having a miscarriage during a pandemic is that it’s made a moment that already feels so lonely even more lonelier. I felt like I couldn't complain. People are losing their lives, jobs, businesses during the pandemic...and so I kept it to myself. Drue and I have leaned on each other a lot these few months. Therapy is helping me pick up the pieces. It's been hard for us but we've been through this rodeo before and we know the work we need to do. ⁣
⁣
For anyone who going through a miscarriage during these especially hard times, I'm sorry this just SUCKS. Get the help you need, lean on those who will help and listen to you and take your time.
I look at my daughters and I can’t help but see I look at my daughters and I can’t help but see all the similarities we have. I have two biracial daughters and one white daughter and I know outwardly people can only see how we look so different but I see the...⁣

sassiness, strength, kindness, nurturing, resilience, creativity in my girls. ⁣
⁣
Moms what is one non physical attribute that you see in your daughter? ⁣
