My son only ever poos during the night.

Does anyone have any suggestions on breaking the habit of night time pooing?.
My three and a half year old is fully potty trained during the day. However, for the past two years, he has only pooed during the night, with the exception of about six occasions. It doesnt wake him up, he doesnt get up. If we are lucky, our noses wake us during the night and we change his pull-up. If not, he comes in at 7am to tell us. He has a really good diet with lots of fruit and veg and eats regularly through the day. As this occurred well before potty trained started, it seems to have become a habit. Any suggestions would be really gratefully received. Thank you.

No advice, but mine does exactly the same thing! I always sit him on the toilet after his bath and encourage him to poo, and give him a reward (chocolate ) if he does anything, but even if he squeezes a bit out he does another big poo in his pull-up overnight. I'm assuming he'll grow out of it at some point.

Thank you. At least I know I'm not alone!
