ds pooing in his nappy in his sleep - been totally clean and dry for 6 months. any ideas?

[deaconblue]

Ds is 3.9 and was late to potty train but has been completely clean and dry for over 6 months. But this week he's pooed in his night time nappy while asleep 3 times. He has been constipated but we've upped his cereal, dried fruit and juice intake (he won't eat fresh fruit or veg) and I'm trying to make him drink more water. Any other ideas as really don't want to go backwards.

I read about a similar case long time ago. I think it was in one of the potty training books, but I can't remember. Anyway, it was something to do with giving the child too much of the dry fruit late in the day. It recommended only giving the dry fruit to him before lunch and see if it made a difference. I don't know why I remembered this story. I wish my memory was so good for other things...
