I'm a mum-of-two & have an easy way to get your baby to poo immediately – it works perfectly when they're constipated | The Sun

NOTHING'S as frustrating as seeing your baby suffering in pain, especially when they struggle with constipation.

Fortunately, one mum-of-two, Rachel Flowers, has claimed to found the perfect solution for this, one that not only works like a miracle but also costs absolutely nothing.

Offering a helping hand to fellow parents, the mum, believed to be from the US, took to Instagram to share the tip – and turns out, it's all about something called ''the poop position''.

Posing with her baby sitting in her lap, Rachel said: ''I found this one out accident.

''If you sit your baby in the middle of your crossed legs, they poop.

''Their bottom must be suspended in the air in between your legs.

''I call it the ''toilet position'' because my legs make a toilet for the baby,'' she chuckled in the video.

The simple trick, she went on to add, has since helped with constipation on numerous occasions for both her son and daughter.

''I noticed randomly with my son that every time I would hold him in my lap like this, he would poop.

''So I started doing it when I noticed he hadn’t gone in a while, and sure enough, it got things goin'.''

Fellow mums and dads flocked to comments to thank the mum-of-two for making their life easier, with one saying: ''I did it and it worked for my baby.''

Someone else chuckled: ''No wonder my daughter always poops in her infant car seat.''

''It really works!! Try it,'' a third urged others who were still sceptical about the hack.

A mum advised: ''I can second this.

''Also holding them while standing with their legs to their chest and them facing outwards.''

If your child has already made it to the potty training stage – congratulations – another mum recently claimed to have trained her daughter in just three days.

The parent, Andrea (@lifestyle.withandrea), took to TikTok to offer a helping hand to those whose children are ready to embark on this journey.

According to the US-based mum, the first important step is buying – or borrowing from a library – Potty Training in Three Days by Brandi Brucks.

This book, available on Amazon, comes with a simple step-by-step guide and let's you ditch the nappies in no time.

With more than 12,000 positive five-star reviews, it's a worthwhile investment, one that will make the experience a breeze.

During these three days, Andrea also made sure to push fluids – here, she noted in her video, it's best to have multiple options, such as chocolate milk, juices, water and mini yoghurt drinks.

The savvy mum, who works as a nurse, also came up with a genius system to keep the daughter excited about going to to the loo.

For this, she promised one M&M chocolate if she had done a wee and two of the treats for number two.

Before starting potty training, the mum made sure to stock up on loads of new undies, a toilet seat for kids, as well as a mini stool.

To prevent any unexpected accidents, Andrea said she kept on asking her toddler if she needed to go toilet on repeat.

Perhaps the most crucial tip in this period was to keep your eyes in the child at all times – as a parent, you will be able to tell when the kid is desperate for a wee.

When it comes to clothes, Andrea recommended letting them roam around in just undies and a top, as well as sticking to easy to prep meals.

Here, she served her daughter a peanut butter jelly sandwich, banana, a handful of blueberries, paired with some veggie stick and a slice of cheese.

The mum also swore by a special potty training chart, which keeps the kid excited to fill it up with the bright stickers.

''Plan three consecutive days with nothing scheduled other than potty training,'' Andrea told fellow parents, advising to come up with various activities.
