| I have a 23 month old daughter. We have been trying to potty train her for about 4 months now. She went poop one time on her potty and we were so happy and gave her hugs and kisses. Now she is scared to sit on the potty, if we try and take her pull ups down and put her on the potty she holds on to us and just screams and cries and says no. I'm afraid that we must of scared her some how. She also went poop in the tub about a week later, and I didn't get mad or anything I just said next time tell mommy when you gotta go and I'll put you on the potty. Well now she will not sit down to take a bath, and if you try and sit her down she screams and cries. I don't know what to do, my friends and family say to just give her time she's not ready. Please help! |

| LOL the same thing happened to us with the poop in the bath tub. I don't wanna scare you but it took a good month and a half before she was fine in the bath tub again. We tried everything, so the advice that we got and worked was forget about the bath and don't even talk about it. Then in about a week, run the bath and don't say a word, and she will cry but it will get better, but as I said wait a week, I mean how dirty can she get?? Use a cloth and clean her daily but no bath, no mention of it at all!! As far as the potty just let it be she will do it when she is ready!! I have a 2 1/2 year old and sometimes she goes and sometimes not, so take it as it comes! |

Oh Lisa I feel your pain with the potty training it can be so hard. My son is 2 1/2 and has yet to even do a poop inthe toilet yet he just pees. As far as the tub i gotta say just do the bath as quickly as possible it is so hot out now aday that a few days with out a bath could be pretty gross. (sorry Jeanette I still love ya girl) just maybe go to the shop rite or walmart and buy her a cool new bath toy maybe that will help. Good luck keep us posted

| For us bath toys made it worse, just forget it and don't mention anything about the bath! |

| read the book "Potty Training Sucks" by Joanne Kimes it's so funny and full of very useful realistic tips and strategies. |

| 23 months is still pretty young to potty train...I wouldn't worry about it. Try again in a few months, as for the poop in the tub. My son has done that before, and it was b/c he was playing in there for a while and had to go. For a while I would just cut the baths shorter and skip the toys and playing, just in and out. I don't know if you're comfortable but maybe try going in the bath with her a few times until she is over being scared? |

Lisa,
I am telling I spoke with many doctors and everyone one told me something different, and NOTHING worked, no toys, no shower NOTHING! Until I went to my doctor and asked her, "do you have kids" and she replied yes, I said well my daughter is afraid of the bath because she pooped in it, and it is not like she was just afraid she was screaming, and shaking, I felt awful. She said to give her a week or two and don't give her a bath, don't talk about it nothing, and then in the week or two that she has not taken a bath, start the bath and she will be fine I promise, because the MORE you talk about with her and saying it is ok she is gonna freak out more. We tried the whole taking a bath with her, giving her new toys, letting her scream it out, and having to tell our neighbors what was going on, because she was screaming bloody murder. So from experience just let it be for a while. take bucket of water and just wipe her down, and she will be fine for a week. It was the best thing, now I don't know what is worse, her hating the bath and screaming to get out or her screaming to stay in!! LOL |
