A. Potty Training can be started after the age of 2 yrs.for this you nfueed to develop a conditioned reflex in the child gby fixing a particular time regularly in which the child should be sitted over the potty seat .do not force the child instead make it a playful activity and not to make the child repulsive about it.slowly the child will learn to indicate before the time.

A. Children can become constipated if they do not eat enough high-fiber foods, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Constipation also can happen when children do not drink enough liquids. Some children who drink a lot of milk become constipated. Certain medicines can cause constipation.

Q. My daughter is 2.5 years old. We've tried a lot to toilet train her. She only tells us when she needs to pee and goes to the washroom, but she doesn't go to the toilet for potty. She only poops in her diaper. If we don't put a diaper on her all day, she'll hold her poop all day, even if she really needs to go. She holds it even when we take her to the toilet. But as soon as I put a diaper on her, she immediately poops. I don't understand how to toilet train her.
