POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. It's quite common for children around 3 years old to be fully toilet-trained for peeing but still prefer a diaper for pooping. This is often due to habit, fear, or discomfort using the toilet for bowel movements. Here are some gentle steps to help her transition:
Positive Encouragement: Celebrate her success with peeing in the toilet and gently encourage her to try pooping there too, without pressure.
Routine and Timing: Notice when she usually poops and guide her to sit on the toilet around that time—after meals is often a good time.
Create Comfort: Use a potty seat with a step stool so her feet are supported. This makes her feel secure and helps with bowel movements.
Make it Fun: Read books, sing songs, or let her hold a favorite toy while sitting on the toilet to help her relax.
Offer Rewards: Small rewards or stickers for trying can be motivating.
Avoid Pressure: Don’t scold or punish. Keep things calm and stress-free. Fear or pressure can delay progress.
With patience and encouragement, most children gradually feel comfortable pooping in the toilet. If she continues to resist for several months or shows signs of constipation or anxiety, you can consult a pediatrician for further guidance.
