Pre potty training - 1 twin withholding

[leavesandsleeves]

Our twins are coming up to 2.5 and I’m starting to think about potty training. We did the oh crap method with my singleton at just over 2.5.

Problem is my girl twin has been withholding her poos for a few months now and I don’t want to make that worse or for it to go horribly. Suspect she might’ve passed a sore poo at some point and that might be why she started trying to hold it in (though they’re generally soft). She’s been to the dr a few times but no real progress. We are giving her a stool softener (tried tapering up and down).

Any advice either on what I can do for my girl twin, or how to approach PT in this scenario? I had thought I’d be doing both together

Sorry that you've haven't had any responses so far @leavesandsleeves.

How are you all getting on now?

Thanks. We start this Saturday but going to go ahead and try both. Not ruling out putting the girl twin back in nappies but hopefully not

I had to go back to nappies with my Dad but went back to cloth so that she could feel wet abc it seemed to work.
