2 weeks ago we had our second baby boy. My almost 4 year old son is having an existential crisis. He has been potty trained for over a year and never ever has accidents but he is now doing 4 poos + a day in his pants. He usually does one big healthy poo a day in the afternoon, so 4 a day is unusual. He’s also wet the bed a few times.
weve spoken to the health visitor, and read online - advice is to involve him in changes, don’t make a big deal out of it etc etc but it’s been 2 weeks and the clean up every time is wearing me out, with a newborn too.
i wondered if anyone had some advice from past experience! My 4 year old is very strong willed and used to a lot of attention, he is getting more than the baby right now still! But clearly it’s effecting him having a new baby brother.
its 11am here and he’s done 4 already in his pants. Nursery sent him home saying he has a bad tummy - which he doesn’t, they just don’t want to deal with the clean up. (Neither do I at this point!!)
thank you!
