Poo help

[Rudolphian]

Hellp.
My daughter will be 3 in October. We have been potty training just over a week now. She is quite good with her wees.
I put some under wear on her a couple of days ago but it was riding up and now she refuses to wear her undies.
She is comfortable in pyjamas. Just staying home most of the time.
The problem is her poos. She normally pops once a day after breakfast.
When bare bottomed wouldn't really poo. So when it was time for her to poo I did put a pull up on her. But I'm not sure if this is the right approach. The other day. She hadn't pooed for over a day and I knew she needed a poo.
She kept saying she needed a wee and sat on the potty and then get up again.
She did this for about 20 minutes until I put a pull up on and gave her some privacy.
She also normally poos standing up.
I'm not sure what to do. I know if I give her privacy she will just poo in her pants, but if I keep putting her in pull ups when she needs a poo am I causing problems further down the line?
Or should I just keep going and not give her a pull up and keep asking her to sit on the potty. Will she not just get constipated?

For anyone interested. We took the nappy/ pull up on for poo approach.
This morning she actually asked for a nappy and then pooed in it.
Think I'll give her another week and then start trying to make sure she poos in bathroom, then sitting position on potty/ toilet and then without etc.
At least she isn't doing it in her pants anymore.

She has control and is happy doing her wees on the potty so you're doing well. Seems like she can choose to do the poo in the nappy so it follows that she could choose to put them in the potty.
The book we used might actually help - Mrs Wee & Mr Poo. Recommended by a friend who's little boy was night-time withholding.

Best of luck. xx

I've read about this. Not tried any of it. So one idea is to get kid to sit on potty in nappy and do pooh sitting on the potty. Another us to our a nappy in the potty so it caches pooh and kid still feels like they are poohing in nappy.
Apparently poohing is very different to weeing and requires different neurological connections. My kid also does the weeing thing and hers on and off potty. A couple of times I have managed to get him back in and he's shocked himself by doing a pooh in the potty. I think it's when his pooh is quite sift though and so he diesnt need to push much. I've been keeping up the pear and lots of veggies etc.

Hiya, I had the same experience with my DD.

We started to potty train her at 3.5 years as I felt that's when she was ready. So glad we waited as she picked up weeing in the potty in 2 days.

Poos were a challenge. She would only poo in a pull up nappy, and I didn't want her to get any more constiptated than she already is, so I just put a nappy on her and told her to stand in her usual corner and do it. I made it clear that nappies were only for poos. She is old enough to understand.

She wouldn't tell me when she wanted to poo as she was scared, so I just used to put the nappy on when I thought she needed a poo (especially if she hadn't done one for a few days), and she usually did it. I think it's better to take it slow, and not make it a big deal and instil more fear in them.

Anyway, eventually (a few weeks later), I started to give her laxatives that the doctor prescribed to make going easier and the stools easier to pass (cannot remember the name, but is a childrens verson of Movicol) - it's basically a gentle stool softener and doesn't make the bowels lazy. This meant that when she weed in the toilet, the poo would often come out as she had the urge to go. She then got used to the sensation and no longer feared it! She did this a few more times, and then had a couple of accidents in her knickers (I no longer put nappies on her), but then she started to tell me herself that she needed a poo, and I sat her on the toilet and she did it!

I made sure I gave her treats when she did a poo in the toilet as an incentive, and got her those fun kandoo wipes. Make it fun for her and don't tell her off for accidents. Just explain that she needs to poo in the toilet, and she's a big girl. She will master it in no time!
