Has anyone had anything like this happen? My five and three-quarter year old DS has been toilet trained for 2.5 years and although he still has moderately regular wee leaks (i.e. usually just damp pants, sometimes more) due to not bothering to go, he has never had poo accidents - not even when first potty training.
However this summer holidays everything has changed. He went on a day out with DH and got lost in a maze and had a poo accident - rotten we thought but probably because he was desperate and couldn't get out to the loo. But since then it has been a regular once-or-twice-a-week occurrence! Not whole poos in his pants but significant smears usually. I have tried being understanding and I have tried being cross. I have banned standing up wees on the grounds that if he sits on the loo he can try and poo at the same time and hopefully nip any accidents in the bud, but this morning he did a poo on the toilet and then quarter of an hour later did some more in his pants!
I'm running out of ideas - help please!!
