Question
The elderly at home are used to doing things for him, and now he doesn’t know how to defecate in a squatting position. How should I train my baby to defecate in a squatting position?
Answer
Parents can take their babies to the bathroom together, and when the baby wants to go to the bathroom, they should inform the parents. The parents will then take the baby to the toilet for urination and defecation. First, develop good bathroom habits. During daily playtime, train the baby to squat and jump, practicing the squatting dance to strengthen the baby’s leg muscles. Once the baby can squat and stand up freely, inform the baby that they can actually defecate and urinate in a squatting position. After the baby meets these conditions, it is time to train them to use the toilet independently. Teach the baby that they need to go to the bathroom before using it, and as they are still unable to remove and put on their own pants, parents can assist them in this process, making it a smooth experience together.
