Lower toilet lid

Is this sentence correct?
The baby lowers the toilet lid every chance it gets.

How would you say the opposite :

Lower the toilet lid

Thank you

Yes, it is correctly written; but it must be more of a child than a baby, I think. The boy raises the toilet lid.

The use of "it" is strange. Do you mean the baby? If so, you should use the word they, if you are not going to mention the baby's gender.

It would be better as: The baby lowers the toilet lid every chance they get.

Babies can't normally do much by themselves. Perhaps the op meant small child or toddler?

Yes, I missed the 'it' reference. That's something I'm guilty of with infants.
Congratulations! What a lovely baby. How old is it? I mean, they!
