Have been away from mumsnet for a wee while, after asking DH to block me for my own good! However, have been lurking again the last few weeks and now have an issue with DD (3 in Jan) I hope MN can help with.
Toilet trained since June, never had a wet accident since. Occasional soiling in first few weeks, but nothing until recently. She's normally very good at telling me when she needs to go. She does tend to hold in poo for a few days at a time, and often has to be coaxed with stories to sit on the loo.
She developed a bug a couple of weeks ago, and had two weeks of loose stools. Lots of false alarms, constant trips to the loo, and several bowel movements a day. Seems to be over it now, but the false alarms continue, or she declares, 'I need a wee' then changes her mind either halfway to the loo or as soon as she is there. Clearly needs to have a poo, but holds and holds, and denies needing to go, then leaves it so long she soils. Four days with no bowel movement this week, then two accidents.
I am soooo fed up with constant loo trips. Any idea how to fix this? I need to let it run its course, don't I? Sigh!
