What's the number one question, concern, or challenge you've been thinking or wondering about that relates to either preconception, pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum, breastfeeding, baby, or parenting?

Is there a question you've Googled multiple times lately?  If so, what was it?

I got a few responses on facebook. Here's one of them:

"How can I encourage my daughter to not only like sitting on the potty but to actually go? I did not receive a productive answer."

Thought I'd share my answer in case it helps anyone else.

"I have a quick answer for you! Start with putting her on the potty the moment she wakes up in the morning and every time she wakes up from a nap. That's the time she's most likely to go and once she starts seeing it happen without having to push it, she's more likely to do it again at other times cuz she'll get what she's actually supposed to do when she's on there. Once you do that, and she's peed on the potty a few times, you start offering the potty super often - like every half hour to an hour at first. Then, she won't pee every time (or even every other time) but you will catch a lot more pees in the potty and she'll get used to it and excited about it. Same idea if you are trying to get her to poop in the potty. If she tends to have a BM around the same time every day, offer the potty multiple times during that time frame and eventually you'll start catching them in the potty. From there, she'll eventually start telling you when she needs to go. HTH, let me know how things go!"
