She wipes okay for pee and needs some help after poop. She's super independent and often doesn't tell us when she goes. And I don't think they help much at school. So Every couple weeks she gets really red and rashly from not wiping well enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-could-your-child-take-off-pants-and-undies-for-potty#post-2251919 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 13:00:00 +0000 blackbird 2251919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E is 28 months and can pull clothes up and down. She still needs help maneuvering onto the big toilet. I have her wipe but who knows how good it is </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-could-your-child-take-off-pants-and-undies-for-potty#post-2251839 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 10:38:51 +0000 Smurfette 2251839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She isn't fully trained but she can take her pants off herself and pull her pull-up or panties down. She can't figure out pants with a button or clasp yet. We need to work on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-could-your-child-take-off-pants-and-undies-for-potty#post-2251153 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 11:47:12 +0000 MamaCate 2251153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we potty trained at 27 months, LO was able to take off pants and underwear but sometimes needed help getting them back on. She is now 3 1/2 and only recently started wiping on her own for poops so we have asked her to let us check after, and so far so good. She moved up to the next room at daycare recently and they let them wipe themselves so that is why we made the change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-could-your-child-take-off-pants-and-undies-for-potty#post-2251107 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 11:23:10 +0000 Truth Bombs 2251107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our 2.5 year old can pee totally solo (pants up and down, proper wiping, etc). When she poops she needs help to wipe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-could-your-child-take-off-pants-and-undies-for-potty#post-2251086 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 11:02:35 +0000 MamaBehr 2251086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TiredmommaMD: my almost 3.5 year old son get everything off, but not back on. My almost 4.5 year old daughter started wiping after poo last fall and resulted in a nasty UTI. Now, at almost 5.5 I trust her to wipe correctly. I think my son will be able to wipe after poo sooner, because there are less "rules," With my daughter, we just kept reinforcing "front to back, drop it" over and over again. I would watch her and help her for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-could-your-child-take-off-pants-and-undies-for-potty#post-2251082 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 10:56:11 +0000 TiredmommaMD 2251082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At what age was your child able to get their own pants and underwear off and back on to go potty? At what age were they able to wipe effectively after going poo? Our LO1 is 2.5 and is really great about making it to the potty but has to have our help with all these things which is tricky if we are in the middle of something else (like LO2 is nursing). I have two questions really, how old was you child when they could do these things and how did you "teach" them how to do them? </p>
