Withholding

[SinicalSanta]

We've been training DD 2.8 for 10 days and pees are fine.

She has really tken against doing poos. She is withholding til nighttime then wakes distraught having done a poo in the nappy. Sometimes during the day she asks for a nappy to do a poo in, but now even won't do it with nappy on.

Any tips?
I am determinedly cheerful and relxed about the whole thing, and am bribing with sweets.

I found bribes tend to work....but be patient, as our 3.10 is still causing us grief with poos!!
She goes off and hides to do a poo either on the floor or in her pants, we have tried everything to get her to do it on potty or in toilet but she refuses to sit still long enough to do it

I think DD is afraid to, really. I have tried demonstrating (sorry!), songs, stories, bribes, the lot.
It's come to the point where I am considering bribing her for doing a poo at all, no matter where. I'm afraid she's harming her health. Breaking wind is foul!

Can she withhold in her sleep, I wonder? It's starting to seem that way

Our DD doesn't tend to wee or poo in her sleep, just soon after she has got up.
She is always complaining he tummy hurts after teatime, so I think she is withholding too.

I have no idea how to stop it, I'm going to speak to the Health Visitors for advice, as our DD was fine before she had these viruses etc. I wonder if it's us causing it now, fusing over her when she's ill :-(
