Teach your child to wipe their butt
So, your child is finally pooping on the potty (yay!)
This is one of those milestones we wait for as parents, but teaching potty skills doesn’t end here. One of the next steps will be teaching your little one to wipe their own bottom, so prepare to muster up a little more patience. This can be a tricky motor skill that takes lots of practice.
Some other things you can do to help teach wiping:
Model/Practice wiping on a doll or stuffed animal.
Have your child practice wiping peanut butter or other similar spread off the back of a plate.
Tie 2 balloons together behind a chair at the seat level. Have your child practice reaching around to wipe in between them.
