Successful toilet training is a landmark milestone in this age group. Children with ostomies should undergo routine toilet training strategies. If your child has an ostomy for stool, they should be toilet training for urine; if your child has an ostomy for urine, they should be toilet training for stool. A good strategy for a toddler with an ostomy who is potty training is to empty their ostomy pouch while sitting on the potty. This way your child can associate “potty time” with emptying the pouch, since it is a toileting behavior. It is important that your child develop good toileting habits at an early age. This helps them listen and respond to their body functions. Always remember to perform hand hygiene after these tasks, and–as always–give praise and positive feedback during the process. Once the ostomy has been reversed, toilet training can then be started for either urine or stool.
