He thinks he's supposed to poop every time!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
My 10 month old son caught on to pooping in the toilet very quickly, and we're still working on communicating with pee. The only problem is, now every time I put him on the toilet, he thinks he's supposed to poop! So he pushes really hard even if he doesn't have to poop, and sometimes will just fart a little. I don't want him to give himself a hemorrhoid!! Any advice?

Mine is only 6 mo, and she has always pushed a little each time. I don't think they would knowingly hurt themselves if they are aware of their bodies at such an early age. He may also just be pushing to release the gas.
