Please help me!!!!!!! My wee boy won’t poo in the toilet! He pees fine- no pee accidents, pees standing up etc! Grand! He did used to poo in the toilet then he suddenly stopped and now we are just in hell with it!!!!!!!
He withholds poo so we have lactulose and he poos most days but he just refuses to go in the loo. You can sit him on there for hours and he will just sit! Cares not about treats, stickers etc!
We had stopped trying for a few months on the advice of the GP to let the lactulose kick in and get regular poos. So we started again in October - sitting on 20 mins after dinner, sticker chart etc. He had some success- had to be bribed to go on the loo but once on the loo he had a few poos pop out unexpectedly, a few times i managed to plunk him on when he was doing the poo dance and some poos came out. I felt we were inching forward. Then about two weeks ago I managed to get him to take himself to the loo, he did a poo, great excitement, called daddy at work etc and he got a toy as that poo meant he’d filled the sticker chart! I thought we’d cracked it but no- since then it’s back to square one! It’s a fight to get him to sit on the loo, won’t try to push, accidents ahoy! Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhh!
His nursery are great and so understanding but school is looming on the horizon next August and I’m just terrified he’ll never manage it!
He’s so strong willed! And we’re lugging around multiple changes, we’re getting ratty with him - it’s just, to coin a phrase, crap!!!!!!
Any advice! I thought I might call Eric tomoz because he’s literally resisted all the advice I’ve read online! Any help or even sympathy??????
