Potty is generally for urinating and for bowel movement. There is no other way to use the potty except for these reasons alone. If you are training your child make sure that he knows how to expel wastes from his body. It is also important in potty training that your child knows how to do this because if he does not then you have to consult a doctor before proceeding with the training.

Potty training helps your child’s bowel movement and will make him healthy. The reason for this is because the wastes are out and this will avoid clogging his intestine and causing constipation. There are ways on handling potty training bowel movement and one of which is companionship.

Accompanying your child will assure the both of you that he is safe. A parent’s touch is always comforting to the child’s feeling. This will relax him. He will not feel the shyness and pressure because you are there supporting him.

While accompanying your child make sure that he is really pushing out the waste. If he does not then perhaps there is something wrong. He might have felt shy and too pressured by you. Do not force him or cause anything that will make him act that way. Just hold his hand or watch over him with a smile.

When after using the potty, he tries to eat his poop without you noticing, pull out all those dirt and make him rinse his mouth with water without adding dangerous chemicals except baby toothpaste. Accompany him in the process of rinsing and make sure that nothing is left from his mouth. If in case something goes wrong, again consult a doctor.

It is very important for your child to cleanse his body through regular bowel movement. Always encourage him to do it so that he will be healthy and clean inside. You do not want any bacteria sticking into your child’s intestine.

If after accompanying your child and making sure he has regular bowel movement, he suddenly stops and physically he is changing, check for any signs of constipation or other bowel movement problems such as:

Ø Blood in his underwear is showing.

Ø Poop stuck or difficulty in expelling it out. If this happens, make him drink lots of water and less solid food and teach him to push or exert pressure to remove the waste from his body.

Ø Shyness and awkwardness. Do not make your child feel that you are a threat or a stranger. Be a parent and encourage a lot more.

Ø Fear. Your potty might not look as clean as it used to that is why your child is getting scared to sit on it. Make sure that the potty is clean and that your child is comfortable sitting on it.

In sum, just make sure your child is safely having his regular bowel movement. There is nothing more relieving than seeing your child healthy and carefree from potty problems.
