please please help me, at my wits end! nearly 4 year old dd has been toilet trained since she was 2.5. over the last couple of weeks has been pooping her pants, and then not gone for days and in pain trying to go. doc said she is constipated and that is what is causing her to soil herself too. prescribed her movicol two sachets a day and then to cut her to one a day when things are better but how long should it take to kick in? she has been on it since last wednesday and did'nt make a bowel movement till saturday and she kept pooing her pants. sunday the same with accidents and also at childminders today! is it helping or is it making her worse? childminder possibly thinks she is not settled there due to accidnents even though have told her about constipation, but dd loves it there and can't wait to get there in the morning! i don't want childlminder to get fed up of her pooping and thinking that she is just having accidents all the time....
