Like Littlefish, my ds, never seems to need to wipe. I mean , he is clean naturally. When I do, wipe him, as a check, there is nothing there. Like hardly ever.
I think that some people just have muscles, that makes them clean and not really need to wipe. He never has a sore botty.

But, what will happen when he gets to school ? We have andrex moist wipes. What happens when you need to do it with TRACING PAPER ?

Spinsugar - NICE !!

DS (4.8) has been doing it for a few months - although there were some carroty bits floating around in the bath tonight .

Ds (4.7) has been doing it for a hile. Maybe a year. The nursery encouraged the children. I still check.
He starts school in Sept and they requested that children be able to 'toilet themselves'.

Ds1 managed from age 4.

Ds2 refuses to even try. When asked what he would do at school, he said that he would only do poos at home...(and knowing him, he will)

After leaving dd for half an hour she has finally had a go at wiping (used the how many wipes game).

Small victory for today

DD has been doing it alone since she was about 2.10
i alwyas make sure she has bottom wipes though as she doesn't seem to properly clean herslef with dry toilet tissue.

dd1 is 4.5, and wants to do hers all the time - but I do check when its a poo, if I get the chance, because she's not great at it and ends up with sore bits.

That said, when she's at nursery or friends' houses, she does it herself always - even if she sometimes forgets to pull the chain

I have just started teaching dd1 2.6yrs to do it. 1st attempt resulted in poo all over the toilet seat and still all over her bum LOL But at least she wants to do it

DS1 - 4, DS2, 6 (despite my best efforts)
DD can do it at aged 3 but sometimes asks me to check.
