As I mentioned, Little Miss potty-trained pretty much overnight. However, she she had some hesitation with the poo. She would try, but she would cry and carry on and will herself not to go. The pediatrician suggested mineral oil to make it easier and, if it was easier, she would be more likely to go. So, we did that for awhile (and still do). So, after a couple of weeks, she would go on the potty (as opposed to her pants or in a pull-up), but she would still cry. During her well-child check up, the doctor said it was perfectly natural especially because she trained so early. She was more surprised that this was the only issue we've had. So, we tried to be patient. As one of our techniques, we created a sticker chart. She liked the positive reinforcement and, to a lesser extent, a goal. If she received 10 stickers, she could pick a present. 10 was an even number, but it was also a good way to create a habit of going and not just a phase. And, in the last 2 weeks, she stopped crying, has no hesitation going at home or in public. So, on Saturday, we went to the toy store, and she got to pick out a present.
