I'm new to this, so please bear with me if i'm doing it all wrong.
I really need some help please. My dd is 2 1/2 is under a paediatric nurse regarding an ongoing constipation problem and the medication for that makes her slightly faecally incontinent. Sorry, it's a bit disgusting!
I could therefore only really have her without a nappy on at home as i was constantly having to check her and wipe her bottom. She was very happy to wee and poo on the potty for a while, but after the biggest poo i have ever seen in my life came out of her (it wasn't hard and she wasn't bothered by it coming out at all at the time)she spent a week producing nothing and every time i have taken her nappy off, she screams, runs to the potty and sits on it.
My problem is that she won't get off it. She was on it for an hour one morning, occasionally crying or screaming but refusing to get off. The only way i could get her off without her biting, scratching and kicking me was to slide a nappy under her bum while she was on there.
I'm so so stressed by it all but trying so hard not to show it to her. I've reverted back to nappies, just to try and stop her worrying anymore about it. I don't know where to go from here as even mentioning big girl knickers or being rudie nudie sets her off into a real panic. Even getting in the bath has got traumatic until she's in.
Oh yes, and when she runs to the potty screaming she's holding her bottom.
Can anyone help??
