Hello. After some advice (and a big glass of wine). My son has just turned 3 and we are attempting to toilet train him for the first time. He became severely constipated when he was one and has withheld ever since. Although he’s on medication, pooing has always been a big issue for him. He also has a speech delay which hasn’t helped matters either. We are now on day 3 of toilet training. He’s had a few accidents each day but is beginning to wee quite consistently on his potty. However, he will not sit on the potty to do a poo. He has withheld for 3 days now and finally went this evening when we put his nappy back on for bedtime. Tbh I don’t have a problem with him doing a poo in a nappy as long as he goes but I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what you did? Or if anyone has any tips regarding toilet training and withholding. Thank you in advance.
