Hi, my son is going to be 5 in a few months. He started using the potty at 2 and took to it great no problems but he could never wipe his bum, like literally his arms were too short for his lanky body (looked like t-Rex trying out aerobic exercises 😂). For the last year I’ve been encouraging him to wipe self now he can reach better but he still struggles.

Just wonder what position do you suggest child wipes in?

Also it doesn’t help that his poos (normal looking firmness) are messy and leave bottom really covered and gross??
Any advice would be great?
