Pouring warm water *down there*

[26n]

I've started potty training my little girl and saw a tip online, where you pour warm water on their bits to help them release a wee; I've tried it twice today and it has worked AMAZINGLY both times...
Just wondering if anyone else has done this, because I'm hesistant to continue with this trick if it means she'll only be able to go if I do this every time..?😂 Or is it okay to carry on for now, until she gets the hang of it?

Umm, mine needed this and is now a fully trained functional adult who does not need water poured on her to wee. For that I give thanks.

But it only took a couple of tries before she caught on, it wasn’t a long term training regime. Good luck.

Mum did this to me and I used to struggle to wee normally & often didn’t have control of myself in showers / swimming pools. It naturally takes longer for girls to figure out how to wee - just give her the time and patience to figure it out herself.

You may find she wees everytime she's in warm water, so for that reason I wouldn't do this. She needs to associate a full bladder with weeing, not warm water! I think it could cause a lot of problems later in life.

Thank you so much for the replies! I don't know what happened today but as soon as I posted this, something seemed to have clicked in my daughter and she nailed the potty this afternoon. She even took herself to the potty unprompted, twice - for a pee and poo!

So I don't think I'll be pouring anymore water on her - although maybe it did help her associate the potty with releasing wee! Either way, my carpet stayed clean today so I'm happy😂
