Not a poo troll, been here a long time.
really looking for advice regarding my 3 year year old and potty training re poos. She has been successfully dry all day and night since just before Easter. She had loads of poo successes too initially, both in potty and toilet. But for the last 4 weeks or so she hasn’t had a single poo in the potty or toilet, every single one is in her knickers or on the bloody floor.
im fairly certain that she’s holding it in, as she’s passing lots of “pebble” like poos. Small movements that get trapped between her bum cheeks and she doesn’t tell us until we catch a whiff or notice a bulge. We’ve had to chuck so many clothes that she’s ruined (I was and save as much as possible but some are just passed saving - I’m also pregnant so washing them some days is beyond me as I then have to clear up my projectile vomit too).
she’s not constipated as she drinks loads, eats tonnes of fruit and her movements are soft usually.
butnim exhausted and at a loss as to what to do now? We’ve tried the poo land app, tried saying poos go in the potty not your knickers which she engages in well and positively. We’ve tried telling her off, tried sticker charts, consequences, explaining mummy can’t play now because we have to tidy up, tried getting her big cousins to encourage her, saying “your friends don’t do poos in pants”
it’s at the point she’s getting a sore bum from it being trapped there too.
im just at a loss and stressed!
any advice gratefully accepted
