2.4yo has been peeing on the potty well at home. She can do it on command and will even stop in the middle of an activity (if she's not too absorbed) to go. She tried to poop once on the potty but got scared. Should we just put in her underpants and go for it? (She's *dying* to wear underpants.) Or wait until she can poop on the potty? (PS: I'm pg and having a baby next month, if that matters.) [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

depends on your philosophy. if she can hold the poop until you get a diaper on her and you're ok with her being in panties but pooping in a diaper, then let her wear panties. if it's going to bother you to have a 3 y.o. asking for a diaper for pooping, then make her wait for the panties so she has the incentive to poop on the potty. i don't think either one is more right than the other. i think you have to pt according to your own parenting style so do what will work for you.

you should look at dr. cohen's "the new basics" philosophy. he definitely argues in favor of putting her in underwear, knowing that there will be a couple of accidents. the kid's going to be so grossed out by the mess that she'll learn her lesson quicky. interesting, if a bit messy, philsophy.

With my son and he was 3 years old at the time, we put him in underwear cold turkey and he had a couple of accidents. He hasn't pooped in his underwear. I guess he got lucky. Underwear isn't absorbant so they try not to dirty them. Good Luck! [ Reply | More
