I'm so confused in what to do!!
My sons been potty training for 2 weeks now he's not wee'd himself he doesn't have bedtime nappy's at all the nappy's was completely gone.

But he will not poo in the potty he says he's scared. I have tried everything possible researched things to help him. No luck. From 7am in the morning he is saying he needs a poo every second I haven't been able to get my house clean or do anything with my other children as my youngest wants me to sit on the floor near the potty to sing to him.. but he still won't do anything apart from wee on the potty. It's exhausting and I feel awful for him if he feels a poo he will jump off the potty and lay on the floor. It's every day all day im going to Scarborough in 2 weeks which means he will of done potty training 4 weeks and im dreading it with the pooing situation. It's for a birthday so im doing to be getting the travel potty out every second for him even tho I know he won't do anything but run away. Any tips? At this point everything will be better than no advise!!

Hello! I've been reading your posts with interest as I could have written this about my son (esp about him asking for a poo every five minutes). Wees are no problem, but poos - OMG. He only wants to poo in nappy ( I said no as I know he'd regrees and start weeing in them and we got that down to a tee now) but I believe this has backfired now and he's constipated. Was it worth doing the movicol?
