Any Suggestions on Helping Daughter Poop in Potty

One of my sons caught on quickly that it was more convenient, FOR HIM, to go in the diaper so it was best to just say no more diapers, they're gone. He was 2 or 3 and knew the concept but had to make the choice. He said what about the store? I said their out too, but might get more next week (knowing it would not take a week!) So he gave in. It does help to just set them on the potty and ask them to try, maybe get them to sit a bit while you read a book and with no pressure to poop, if they need to go it will work but timing is key. It is great if you know when she may be ready to go poop. Stock up on some favorite stories in the bathroom and Good Luck!

First off, don't feel defensive about your daughters age and potty training, don't let anyone tell you "its too early" because it clearly is not too early. There are too many people out there that wait WAY PAST the time that their child has shown interest in which case the whole process just becomes harder, but at the same time, every child is different.

That being said, I took my daughter with me when I had to go and I showed her the empty toilet and the end result when I was done and do you know what, she did it that day! I was shocked.

The following week we moved across the country, so we had to start all over when we got here. What worked when we did it again was buying her a toy, (we kept the potty in the living room) and putting it somewhere she could see it (atop the TV is where I put it) to remind her of what I told her, if she went poop in the potty, she could have the toy. Worked like a charm =)

My daughter had the same issue. We read "Once apon a Potty" and she loved it. It has great pictures and you can change the wording to match what words you are using. We would read it while she sat on the potty.

The funny thing is, my son is 27 months and is the exact opposite! He will poop in his potty but not pee. I think he is to busy or lazy to pee... He goes "poop" at pretty much the same time everyday and I watch for him to go to the corner to do his business... then I scoop him up and we RUN to the potty! He thinks its pretty fun because I let him squeeze my hand while he is going =)I ALWAYS make a big deal about it that he is so great!! Afterward he is rewarded with a yummy treat that he only gets when he poops!(I use dum dum suckers)! I am sure your daughter will get the hang of it, they all do things a little differant and at differant times, Congrats on getting her to potty train so well at such a young age! Good job mama!! =) Anyways! Hope this helps out!

I would devote a day to making sure you watch her, and as soon as you see the signs, hurry to the potty with much excitement. You might have to wait a little while, but just be patient and tell her to push it out. If she goes in her panties, dump it into the toilet when you clean her up, to show her that it belongs in there and not in her panties. The show and tell theory might work too, if this does not. Once she does it once, I'm sure she'll be officially potty-trained. Best wishes!

Best advice ever given on here was when someone said she told her child that they didn't make diapers in their size anymore. My oldest was the same as yours. Very early (about 17 months) initiated going pee. We didn't push it cause I was preggers with his little brother. He always did amazing with #1, could not get #2 down. Once I said the diapers were not there anymore, he said "guess I have to go in the toilet now." Good luck!!!
