Hello all,
I posted a week or so ago about DS 23 months and withholding poo, which he has fortunately stopped doing for now (some random potty anxiety which seems to have passed). He’s been pooing in his potty since about 14 months (his choice, he hates a dirty nappy).
He is, however, struggling with hard poos and finding it uncomfortable to go. I’m stuck as he won’t eat vegetables except on a rare occasion, though he does tend to have fruit most days. Is there anything anyone can suggest for me to do about his diet to help him move his poo along more easily? He used to eat all his vegetables! I’ve tried multi-veg mash (about 50% success), blended veg pasta sauce (he wipes the sauce off!) and offering stewed meat/fish with veg (he refuses the entire meal).
He won’t drink fruit juice but I’ve found that if I put it in a syringe and call it medicine he will gulp it down! I don’t like using it too much, though, as of course it isn’t recommended.
