arted potty training my 2.5yo 3 weeks ago and from day one she started withholding her poo. I abandoned the training but she won't even poo in her nappy. She is terrified.
We have tried everything. Reward charts, bribes, treats. We have shown her cartoons, us pooing etc but she screams she needs a poo all say long and is in pain all day but won't let it out. She will hold on for about 4/5 days and then go in maybe 5 or 6 incriminants screaming blue murder. I'll have my lovely daughter back for a day then the process starts all over again. Screaming. Writhing. Lithargic. Badly behaved. I'm losing it. Actually feel like I'm being unhinged.
I have a 4 month old and I'm living in 4 hours sleep. I'm not able to stay patient and I'm sorry to say I've shouted at her. I honestly don't know best to do. Dr has given her lactulose she has 30mls a day and it's doing nothing. Please someone help. What can I do?
