I'm at my wits end and desperately in need of help. My 3.6 year old DS has been going to the toilet since October. He's even dry at night. But poos his pants EVERY day. I've had help/advice from friends, parents, health visitor, even continence nurse but we are no further on.
We have ruled out constipation. He goes every day but just never goes to the toilet. He is not afraid of the toilet, it splashing etc as sometimes he has poo'd there by chance when doing a pee and he's been so delighted and couldn't wait to tell everyone.
I have tried rewards, blowing bubbles on toilet, going on toilet 20 mins after meals, stories about poo, but nothing works. I know it's wrong but on occasion I have shouted at him out of sheer frustration but nothing makes any difference.
I am at my wits end. I'm sat now at the bottom of the stairs in tears while he plays blissfully in his room after I've cleaned him up yet again, pants had to go to the bin. This has been going on 6 months now and I just don't know what to do. My HV says she's given me all the advice she can and now it's up to me. I feel so alone with this and it's really getting me down. He starts nursery in September and I know they won't tolerate this day after day.
Can anyone please give me any advice or hope cos right at the minute I feel like such a crap mother. I just want my boy to poo in the toilet and to be able to go to nursery happy and for me not to be worrying about a call to go clean him up. Please
