Major update and medical review to include latest guidelines and information.
So it wont be long now before hes officially potty trained, right?
Unfortunately, probably not.
First, youll want to rule out any potential medical issues that might be causing the problem.
Major life changes, too, can causepotty training regression.
Even if your child has been waking up dry for weeks, he may suddenly start wetting the bed.
Next, encourage him to empty the contents into the bowl (poop goes in the potty).
So be strategic about when you put him on the toilet.
Remember, too, that theres no wrong way to use the potty.
As horrified as you might be at first, try not to make a big deal out of it.
Instead, calmly tell him that poop goes in the potty and we flush it away.
Your toddler probably isnt being obstinate.
For now, the most important thing you might do is stay positive and encouraging.
A few setbacks are par for the potty training course.
