Oh the joys of the toileting side of parenting! Whether it’s diaper issues or the strain of potty training, it can all quickly become extremely frustrating. Today on the podcast we’ll tackle a couple of common issues in this area. First, a mom in Alabama has a 10-month-old that is refusing a diaper change with an “alligator death roll.” Then, a mom in Northern California is wondering if it is okay to pause potty training when it’s causing a lot of emotional turmoil for her toddler. 

Description: One change can be difficult to manage when you have a toddler. So what do you do when you have multiple changes coming at once, including a new sibling on the way? Britney in Atlanta is preparing for baby #2 while trying to get her toddler into a new room, a big girl bed, to stop using the pacifier and potty train! Is it better to tackle all these at once? Or make each change one by one? This week on the podcast we’ll tell you the easiest way to help guide your toddler through all these transitions.
