Posted on Tue, 10 Jun 2014
Question: My baby (aged 3 years), recently we stopped using diapers, use in night only, she goes to baby sitting, learning toilet rules, still sometimes passes potty and urine in under garment only, does not tell us, tries to hide, even when we always handle it with cool mind, how to make her understand this? She does not take vegetables, fruits and cooked food, only likes white rice or chapati/roti with pickle, how to develop these habits?
