Did you know toddlers can actually withhold poop if they feel pressure around the potty? 😳
That’s one of the reasons I always recommend pressure-free potty routines.
I explain how to create a calm, positive potty environment in my latest video 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6pPy...
💬 Have you noticed potty pressure backfire before?

One mistake I see all the time with toddlers and constipation 👀
🥛 Too much milk.
More than about 2 cups per day can crowd out fiber and lead to harder stools — especially in picky eaters.
I break down the right balance (without guilt) in my newest video 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6pPy...
💬 How much milk does your toddler drink most days?

I just shared a new video walking you through nutrition habits, hydration tips, and potty routines that actually work (and don’t involve pressure).

Quick check-in 👇
After watching the fiber episode, what surprised you MOST?
