I Poo in the Loo: A Potty Training Adventure

Product Information

To start with, sitting on the potty/toilet should have nothing to do with pooing. The emphasis should be completely on relaxed, happy sitting – when you ask them to do so. To start with this may be a five second sit, once a day, fully clothed. That’s fine! Reward them for sitting ( have a look at our Toileting Reward Chart), and resist the temptation to mention wee or poo! If you child only wants to poo in a nappy then go with this, don’t say no as that can lead to your child holding and then potentially becoming constipated or in a lot of pain and discomfort.You then should look at starting a gradual process of moving them away from the nappy and using the toilet. George’s parents realised that the first thing they needed to do was to get him into the house – but that was not going to be easy as they couldn’t bring his tree!

Step 7: Peter's mother remained completely committed to the process - cutting a piece of nappy just the right size to position in the toilet, and fishing it out afterwards to throw away. Over time, she cut the piece of nappy smaller and smaller, so it rested further and further down into the bowl of the toilet. Step 9: now George will have to be introduced to the toilet, and over time learn to sit on it. Perhaps Peter's story can suggest some steps towards this. And yes I sort of get what you mean because I was exactly the same before, I would be able to predict exactly how long I could wait or decide I would not need a toilet at all but I’m not 100% confident I could actually fit into your seemingly logical thinking anymore and I have to say it’s highly annoying! it happens every day or from time to time – a one-off "accident" when you're ill with diarrhoea is not usually a problem Take the poo to the loo': Remembering UNICEF's amusing song against open defecation in India".

The reason that your child is reluctant is going to be individual to your child.It is about looking at what the reason might be (like the examples above) and then seeing how you might be able to get over this with your child.

Over time you’ll build up a regular toileting programme, with your child sitting on the potty/toilet for 5-10 minutes four times a day. Keep a bag of special toys in the bathroom ready so they look forward to exploring what’s there whenever they sit on the loo.There is no such thing as “normal” when it comes to how often a person poops. However, on average, a person will poop 12 times in a 24 hour period. This means that a person produces roughly 128 grams of poop each day. Some people may poop more or less frequently than the average, but as long as they are healthy, this is perfectly normal. Where does poop go when you poop? Have a basket of toys or books which can be just for ‘toilet time’ and can encourage your child to stay on the toilet a little longer.If they are on the toilet longer then it can help with understanding the sensation of needing to poo and giving it time for this to happen.

Step 4: After a week Peter was asked to undo the nappy. This was too big a step, but he managed to undo one tab. Over the next few weeks Peter managed to undo all four tabs every time he sat on the toilet wearing his nappy.

This last year or so though I need several times a day without much warning (so I’ll not need then suddenly I’m bursting!) I’m also having to get up in the night which I’d never had to do! I’m not old but I’m not very young now either and it’s not been pregnancy or childbirth and I’ve no specific bladder issues or diabetes etc so it’s just a random change to what was my normal as happens in life as you age. Some boys and girls will work it out for themselves, but without intervention some would happily poo in a nappy for years.
