Seriously, I am! And I have no idea what to do about it. Ds will be 4 in October and he is still having up to 8 pooey pants a day. Wees have never been a problem.
He has been diagnosed with faecal impaction, and since Febuary has been on movicol, which has largely resolved the chronic constipation. He has about between 1-3 poos a day when he is on his sachets, currently 3 sachets per day. Today was a particularly bad day because he hadn't had his meds last night, and so was starting to bung up already, and I brought home 8 pooey pants from nursery.
The idea of the movicol from the consultant's point of view was to to clear him out completely, and so advised me to put him back in nappies, which we did back in Febuary. Prior to this we had been training him for 6 months. It was a relief to put him back in nappies, and I thought we could start afresh after him being cleared out. So we've been trying again for the last couple of weeks, to no avail.
He is completely aware of what he's doing, but simply doesn't get that poos go down the toilet. He is not bothered one bit by it either!
I am seriously starting to run out of ideas. Nursery are great with him, very calm and consistent, but I don't know where I'm supposed to go from here. I have tried reward charts, stickers, bribery, pleading (!), poo wants a turn down the toilet etc etc.
Any experiences?
