And that is to hop off the toilet, and bend over. Sounds bad when I type it out, but it works well for us. She will do it for herself for the most part, but I still like to check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-number-2-in-public#post-2240424 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 07:48:05 +0000 mrbee 2240424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Out daughter started off using toilet trainers that sit on top of the toilet, but now she can go by herself and hold herself up! She's 3, turns 4 in October... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-number-2-in-public#post-2240409 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 07:10:59 +0000 Mamaof2 2240409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: honestly I still help my 6 yr old if he asks - sometimes he can do it and other times he says he cant </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-number-2-in-public#post-2240365 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 01:40:40 +0000 lamariniere 2240365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: Same here. My son is 4.5 and still needs help with wiping. When he has to poo in public he just sits and holds onto the toilet. I will wipe the toilet down with wipes before he sits, if I have wipes on me. We scrub and sanitize hands after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-number-2-in-public#post-2240353 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 00:15:32 +0000 irene 2240353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: no.... I just don't see the point besides I don't want to bring a thing to the bathroom every time I had to take him and have to sanitize afterwards....I used to have one but I think I donated it...</p> <p>@BabyBoecksMom: did she wipe her butt at public bathrooms after #2? How does she do it without falling in the toilet?</p> <p>@MamaG: I see, I guess I should start telling him to hold onto the seat instead of me! Just that some toilets are so big 2 of my Los can fall in at the same time it made me nervous!!</p> <p>@birdofafeather: haha I guess I am able to hold onto him because it takes him 10 seconds to poop. Btw when I say I hold him I mean I let him sit on the toilet seat while I hold onto / stabilize him, not like I suspend him in air while he poops lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-number-2-in-public#post-2240344 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 23:09:59 +0000 birdofafeather 2240344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: Same except my DD is 2.5. I just make sure she doesn't touch anything until we wash hands. I don't think there's another way around it because she takes forever to poop and I'm not gonna hold her for 10 minutes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-number-2-in-public#post-2240317 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 21:09:00 +0000 MamaG 2240317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost 4 and I still help/check after #2. But I do not hold her on the toilet. She can get up and off herself. Yes, she touches the toilet and holds on to the sides. I know that probably bothers some people. But we absolutely wash hands or sanitize her hands every time we use a bathroom. I'm not very much of a germaphobe though either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-number-2-in-public#post-2240312 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 20:59:09 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2240312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our kids are the same age and I still check DD after she goes #2. I just make sure she didn't miss anything big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-number-2-in-public#post-2240308 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 20:52:06 +0000 Anagram 2240308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you get those folding potty rings for public toilets? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-number-2-in-public#post-2240302 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 20:44:37 +0000 irene 2240302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When do you have your child wipe themselves in a public bathroom if they went for a #2?</p> <p>LO is now 3.5 years old and he has been wiping himself at home and at school after pooping. I do check on him afterwards to make sure he did a good job but at school they don't. It is all good because I have a toilet seat adapter at home and the toilets at school are kid sized. However, in public bathrooms I just had to hold him or he'll fall into that big big hole! I usually just wipe him after he is done. What do you guys do? Around what age would they be capable of balancing and wiping themselves, or I should start somehow training him to do that by himself? I am just not looking forward for him to fall into the toilet at all. That accident I can not afford...</p> <p>Any advice is welcomed! </p>
