Hi there, I am in NO WAY to give advice on this one because at 11 months we are still trying to get there, but first off, NO patting on the butt. I would guess that the experienced ones will chime in and tell you to take your baby to the vet and I would suggest the same to make sure that there is no under lying health issues. Now, I take Jax out constantly, and I say "Outside" do you have to go "Outside", with me I have treats that are just for outside potty. I show him and put it back in my pocket and tell him "Go potty" "Go Poo" get big treat!! Lots of praise and remember to give your baby some time to go. Also, listen to your baby, she might bark at you to let you know that she has to go outside. Jax sometimes makes his little #2 OOPSies in the house, but I tell him NO Poo in the house, that's MOMMY's fault and take him outside. I would like extra advice on this myself. You will, I'm sure, get a lot of GREAT advice on this one and I hope that mine was of some help to you. Remember, be patient and consistent and give lots of praise and keep your baby on a schedule.
Pattee, mama to JAX and KLOEE
