My daughter is 8 (9 in october) and to put it bluntly she stinks! She always smells of wee and poo and it is very very very rare that she keeps her knickers clean all day.
Sometimes it is so mortifyingly embarassing as it is really quite strong and I cant imagine what others must think.
She potty trained normaly at about 2.5 yrs and although not as good as my son was was fine, usual amount of accidents.
She then had an accident when she was about 4 which involved hurting her bum and from then on started a cycle of holding poos in until she became severely constipated etc etc
It seemed to improve for a good while but recently over the last few months it is back with a vengeance.
Now she is approaching 9 I am really worrying for her as eventually the kids in her class will pick up on her as the stinky kid and start bullying her Im sure.
I keep finding knickers covered in poo and wee hidden stuffed at the back of drawers.
The part of it I dont understand is taht she doesnt seem to care - every night I lay her clothes out for the next day including clean underwear yet often she doesnt use the clean knickers and keeps on the dirty ones???
Can anyone give me any advice on how to deal with it?
It is not full accidents she is having, her knickers are normally stained with varying degrees of skidmarks from light to very bad but not actual full poos iyswim.
Im not sure where the wee comes into it but that is certainly an issue too.
