so my baby is 2 months old she is just learning how to clean herself after going to the bathroom and we see her clean her choch but not her butt. Her hair is growing fast and she is getting clumps of poo stuck in her hair my father had to just remove it and cut it out a lil. before it doesnt get worse...does this happen to anyone else....
What do i do??

if she has long hair already you need to trim the area by her anus. Groomers do it and its simply called a " potty trail" i would just cut some of the hair around it, and hopefully that will work.

Yep, this happens to us too. We always know when it's time for KaCee to have a haircut...she'll come running to us with a dingleberry stuck back there!

We keep the hair around her butt shaved down so nothing sticks. Hope this helps!

Keeping that area trimmed is always good. I'm not sure you'd really want your baby to start cleaning her behind herself 'else chances are she'd be "scooting" across your floors/carpet. Maybe it's her diet making her stool softer so it clings.

shes to young to go to the groomers yet so i just have to shave it? the unique thing about her is that her tail was never cut. do u think that has to do with it??

charlie started having this problem too so i asked my husband to cut the fur around his butt. Now, I also started using the tustee wipes to wipe his butt after every poop session.
