Patient's question:
My baby is 2 years old this year. The elders at home are quite indulgent towards him, and he still doesn't know how to squat to defecate. Please ask: How can I train my baby to squat to defecate?Doctor's answer:
Parents can take their babies with them when using the restroom. Tell the parents to let them know when the baby needs to use the restroom, and the parents will take the baby to the toilet to urinate and defecate. First, cultivate good restroom habits, with a fixed restroom location. During regular playtime, you can train the baby to squat and jump, like doing a little squat dance, to exercise their leg muscles. Once the baby can squat and stand up freely, tell them that they can actually squat to urinate and defecate. After the baby meets the above conditions, you need to train them to use the restroom independently. Tell the baby to go to the bathroom before using the restroom. At this stage, the baby will definitely not be able to take off and put on their pants by themselves. Parents can help them, and during the process of putting on pants, they can complete it together with the baby.
