 Having learned the hard way, I agree with Richard's method. How to give a child an enema: Put a towel down on the bed. Prepare the enema (Fleet or bulb-and-bag). Make him take his pants off. Give him the choice - he can either take the enema in the praying-to-Mecca position, leaning forward, or you can put him over your lap and leglock him like a baby. That should be enough to make him co-operate. He might still cry and make a fuss as you stick the nozzle in and squeeze the bulb, but remember, this`ll make him do a do in 5 to 10 minutes!

 you might not like the idea but i have the answer to potty problems when I was aged about 3 my mother would not tolerate not doing a poo every day and when sat on the china large potty which was owned by my grandmother she would threaten an ENEMA and hey presto I soon did a poo not likeing the previous enema givern by the nurse enema caused a good motion every time one pint of water or less into the rectum via the anus and a motion will result in minitutes

 i have heard from many sources that it is better to start late than early. better that your child should understand what they're doing, what you want of them, and have good muscle control before you start, than you should traumatise them and cause the whole issue to be a battle. they won't still be wearing nappies age 5. just relax and they'll do it when they're ready.

 i feel its just impossible that your child as small as may be 15 mth old come and tell u that she want to go to loo, she will do this only when we parent make them realise and understand what needs to be done,and in my view potty trainning should be started as soon as your child starts sitting, so they grow up understanding that they have to use potty for certain purpose.

 i can't believe that this lady actually feels her child's bowel movements! that is disgusting! what has come of the human race? before we know it, supermarkets will be selling poop by the pound in many diferent varieties. i am disgusted but also excited for the future.

 my 3 year old wears panties most of the time except when she has to do a big job. she brings a diaper makes me put it on for her and refuses to use the potty. we have tried everything we can... scaring her, cajoling her... nothing works. once she is done she will say "tomorrow i will go only in the potty". she started to pee in the potty when she was 18 months old and that was so easy... but the big job training seems a real big job for us... if anyone has suggestion please let me know...

 the toilet training can be started after 16 mnts and gradually day by day it has to be done, not that the baby will learn this one single day. we have triplet, well one of the 3 tell us other 2 don't.sometime they indicate.

 i have babysat children as old as 4 years who were still wearing diapers. not all children are alike so be patient and don't force them. with my nephews and neices i always put diapers on them for the night even if they were daytime toilet trained, that way there was never any accidents throughout the night. i recommend double diapers if your using cloth and make sure you put on rubber pants over top.

 my daugther goes peepee in the potty no problem but she refuses to poop. she is wearing underware now and she will tell you when she needs to pee but when it comes to poop she waits until she is done (in her pants!) before letting you know. if you sit her in the potty she will hold it until she gets up and then she goes in her clothes and causes a mess. this is every day. please i need some advice !!!!!!!!!!!

 newborn babies will signal (cry, wiggle, ect) when they need to go potty. if you hold them over a potty instead of using a diaper they will not become dependant on a diaper. i am doing this with my baby. we americans learned this from india!

 my daughter is 21 months old and she has been using pottie for 11 months now. i started making her use a pottie when she started sitting properly,at the age of 7 months. i noticed she wet her nappied in about every 40min n went to 2 early morning n evening. so i used to make het sit on the pottie at those times. slowly she learned to use the pottie and 'po' (shortform of pottie) was one of the first few words she started to speak. now she just says po whenever she needs to go. and she has been using wc since she was 18 months old.

 i believe in a strict toilet training - that way there are fewer accidents. as soon as my daughter could sit up she was put on the potty after every feed and praised if she performed. as she got older after each meal time her nappy was removed leaving the plastic pants round her ankles and was made to sit on potty trying to poo. then after every meal is dropped down to after breakfast and befor bed.

 i purchased a potty that makes a musical sound when my daughter goes potty. when i first tried to train my daughter to go potty in the regular toilet instead of the little portable potty, she screamed like crazy. i would rub her back and i would reassure her that it was ok to go to the bathroom in the big toilet like the "big people". i would bring one of her favorite story books into the bathroom. i placed a large towel to cover her legs and i let her hold her story book. i would tell her to read (even though she couldn't read yet) and, of course, i read to her as well. i also brought into the bathroom a magazine that sells toys to keep her entertained. she was so entertained reading and talking that she didn't even realize that she was having a bowel movement. it was the most effective way of getting her to potty train. it took many many months of training but now she finally tells me that she has to go and the funny part is that she'll always ask me for magazines and her dora the explorer story book to take along to the bathroom!! there is no right age for toilet training. each of my children trained at very different ages. my oldest learned at 3 1/2, my middle child at 4 1/2 and my youngest child at 3. i did not stress them at all. i didn't listen to any parents because alot of parents always try to make it a big thing that their child trained at 2 years of age. i don't care about those things. i feel that a person whether it's a child or an adult, when they're good and ready to do something they will do it. some people learn fast and others learn it at a slower pace. no one is perfect. i'm not into competition and pushing my child to do something when i know that they are not capable of doing it. what is the hurry with some of these parents? a child will go appropriately to the bathroom when they are ready. just rest assured that your child will not be potty training at the age of 18 years of age. so don't worrry!!! a parent also should pay attention to a child's bowel movement to make sure that there are no health issues involved. there are also bowel movement diseases that parents might not be aware of that is causing the child not to be able to go to the bathroom. so a parent should pay attention. there's a disease called celiac disease that causes bowel movement problems. sometimes there are problems with calcium or there is a thyroid problem. there is a wonderful website that can answer alot of questions that many of you may have. there is a doctor called dr. mercola in the u.s. his website is called www.mercola.com. it is very informative. good luck with your children. when they get older you can retell them all the tough times you had when you tried to potty train them and they will laugh at all the stories.

 why train a child to eliminate into a diaper only to have to retrain them to use the toliet. whatever happened to teaching the infant where to eliminate? very young infants can and do communicate to adults that they need to eliminate, by ignoring them and teaching them to use their clothing as a toliet we are making a lot more work for ourselves as parents, and creating more stress for the child. not to mention the amount of physical refuse created by disposable diapers and the money spent on them. more info is in laurie boecke's book, "infant potty training" the concept (very ancient)is now being called, "elimination communication."
