Great information Katie. I read about the squatting vs. sitting before but wondered if it really made a difference.

Thanks Tammy 🙂 I do think it does make a difference, and it’s worth checking out!

Ok, so while I was pregnant I read a book that was talking about how people use the bathroom in other countries that they just squat over holes. And NO ONE has any of the bathroom related problems that we have over here. I actually believe that their is something to it.
