OK when will my DD stop poo-ing in her pants???

[MinkyBorage]

She has been dry for a couple of months, dry through the night, no problem whatsoever, but when it comes to doing a poo, the only place she wants to do one is in her pants. She is 2.10 and very keen to wear knickers, and do wees in the toilet potty etc.
Went through a stage a few weeks ago where she did a few poos in potty and toilet, and actually had a couple of completely 'clean' days, but since then, things have just gone down hill again.
Thinking about it, it seems better if we stay at home with no knickers on........ now there's an idea, but unfortunately just not practical atm, we need to at least pop out most days, even if I cancelled all the groups and social things we do and you could guarantee that the five minute trip to drop off the library books or post a letter was when she did it. Also she's started nursery teo afternoons a week, and still does it there.
Anyone been through the same?

my dd this once or twice and i got really cross with her and she hasnt done it in her pants again. she always always asks for a nappy now. that suits me. she knows when she is going to do it and it isnt perfect but it is always at home so i dont have t take nappies around or anything. i too am hoping she will grow out of it and use the toilet eventually!!

yes, lilymolly it is really hard. I wish all have a magic wand and solve as quick as that, but not!!
In general, when pass fart, means that something will come out. Could be a good idea as you heard the sound!! to sit in toilet and try.

lilymolly, sorry not you!!!

she is reluctant to sit on the toilet and cries when I try to coerce her

will keep trying and keeping calm

pls keep on trying.
a good diet of fruit, fruit & fibre breakfast, oats, wholemeal bread, help the digestive system.
at least try to seat her after breakfast for a minute n promise a little sweetie n give it to her inmediatly after that. do not seat her more than a minute. 1 minute it is a very long time for a child seated on toilet

she has a very good diet
weetabix/raisen wheats/porridge for breakie
lots of water, some fruit- may be try to increase her fibre intake.
She eats lots of pasta and bread but its white? will that matter?

have tried the sitting on toilet and reading, bribery with sweets etc

You are right, will keep on trying

best of luck

Hi,
My boy who will be 3 in Nov has done a poo in the toilet once (by pure accident!!). Every day without fail he does a poo in his pants. He is tiolet trained with wee but the poo issue is driving me insane. He is my 5th child and I have never been through this before. The others just automatically went to the potty and did their business, and I never gave it much thought. I really don't want to go back to nappies as I feel it is a step back and I know he will just wee in it if he has it on. Even pull up's, I know he will not bother to go to toilet to pee if he doesn't need to. He never tells me he had done it, and he doesn't seem to care thet he is sitting in it (typical boy??? lol).
Any advice on how to deal with this greatly appreciated. I am finding it really hard not to get annoyed.
Thanks in advance

Hi Jude - we finally had a breakthrough using book rewards.
dd (2.7) loves books and had kept asking for Mr. Men. We bought the whole set but put them on a shelf out of reach in very plain sight and told her she could choose one when she did a poo on the toilet. We also get really excited when she does one, lots of praise and sing a poo song
Has taken 2-3 weeks but we have only had 2 accidents in this time so am sure it is working. (Previously was pooing in pants every day)
Good luck!

Hello
I posted back in Sept when my son had mastered weeing in the potty but refused to poo in it and instead did that in his pants. (He would come to me immediately he had done a poo to ask me to change him into clean pants, but when I said it would be easier if he just used the potty he said he didn't want to).
I started a star chart and said he would get two stars every time he pooped in the potty (in our house, 10 stars = £1 and he saves up for toys he wants). Suddenly, after a few days of me telling him this (and giving him one star per wee as encouragement even though he was doing those in the potty already!) he did a poo on the potty when I was in another room. He proudly came and showed me, and we haven't had a poo in his pants since!
All I can say is hang in there, they get there in the end!

It could be because they are scared of 'losing' their poo in the potty or toilet!
DD was just like this & didn't get fully potty trained until 3. We eventually came up with the idea of ripping a nappy in half & putting it inside the potty- worked a treat
We then gradually swapped this for an old fashioned nappy liner, then a tissue. Once at this stage we asked DD if she would like to try aiming for the tissue in the toilet! It's a long running thing but this method got her trained in less than 3 weeks so if you have the patience it's a method that gives you a greater amount of control & confidence. You just have to remember to carry the potty & spare nappy around with you

My son is 3years 1 month and I'm also at my witts end. Can't believe how common it seems to be after looking on here, a bit reassuring, so thanks. My son is practically dry all day, but insists on pooing in his pants and will even do it in stages and wipe it out of his bum into wet wipes (tmi) so taking responsibility for his own poo obviously doesn't work. He also tends to go into another room or behind the sofa to do it. He won't sit properly on his potty he just hovers above it. Managed to move him on to a a toilet seat insert on the 'big toilet' but last week he got it stuck on his head and after 30 mins had to get my dad to come round with the butter to get it off, so back to square one with that one. I think fear is the main problem but I don't know what to do, bribes don't seem to work as he's too stubborn. My son starts nursery in two weeks and desperately want him to be clean by then, think thats why I feel so anxious over the whole situation. Just hoping seeing the other children pooing on the toilet will make him realise its ok.

You are not alone ; ) I have a three and four month year old who like some of you guys will pee generally no prob in the toilet. When it comes to poos forget it - even when she is about to do it next to the toilet. This morning she said "I go pee and poo - too late on the poo as we found it in her knickers as she sat on the loo! We are mistified - all trained out! Am going to try cho buttons or something as an incentive just for poo. But who knows with little ones.
Good luck to all of you guys out there in the same boat. You can feel like you are the star of Ground Hog Day i know.
