Parents always ask; when do I put my child in underwear? I say, if your child has urinated in the toilet and had a bowel movement in the toilet, that means that they have sphincter control and are ready for underwear. You can not go back and forth. Once your child is in the underwear, you stay in the underwear. Sometimes children have a fear of bowel movements and, so you keep your child in underwear. They can ask for a diaper, and it's fine to put a diaper on for bowel movements. In the future, your child will learn how to use the toilet for bowel movements.
