Help with Early Morning Poopy Diapers in Almost 2Yr Old

Hi L.- I went throught the same thing with one of my daughters and it only lasted a short time, maybe a couple of weeks. Hang in there, I think you will be surprised at how quickly the issue will resolve itself.

my son is the same age and went through this a few weeks ago and it only lasted about a week. i think it was because when we went away on vacation our routine was altered and i think that altered... *his* routine :-) if that makes sense.

Dear L.,
This should not be too hard to change. I was 31 when I had my first. I was a real stickler for potty training and here are some ideas.
First, if she is eating solid foods late in the evening, you might have to make the dinner meal at lunch and have a lighter meal in the evening.
Second, if you wake up earlier than she does and check her as having a clean diaper (I have done this successfully, also), get her up earlier put her on the pot, give her a little juice or water, read a book, whatever, but be with her to let her know how important it is to have a clean diaper so that she can graduate to the "fancy pants". At her age, (mine were younger) this should happen within a week or two. Take her shopping and let her pick them out.....Her first shopping spree. She will tell you...enjoy her...it goes by so fast. Have a happy motherhood and marriage.

Have you tried changing her right in the crib and keeping it a little dark? I was a stickler for not letting them out of their cribs that early...they eventually all became late sleepers :)
