Can anybody help?? Poor old DD had very runny poos last week due to a stomach upset and when it stopped she decided she wouldn't do a poo until it was nice and solid again! It has been more than a week :( we kind of agreed she would poo on Saturday but I think she is changing her mind. What can I do to persuade her? I'm afraid that when she does poo, it's going to hurt her. But i'm also worried that laxatives will make her poor 'too runny' again! We've read 'poo goes to pooland' but to no avail. This is the first time it has happened. Meantime she is pooting all over the place aand is generally very irritable and sleepy. Has anyone else ever had this problem? She is nearly five, by the way.
