Ds is 3, started potty training 2 weeks ago. He is doing really well with wees but not done a poo on the potty yet. Got Laxido for him today because he is constipated, any tips for helping him go while the meds start to work?
Thank you

We encouraged DD by reading a book whilst she sat on the potty or letting her watch an episode of Peppa Pig or similar. It just helped her relax on the potty a bit and eventually poo!

Same here. Give him a book to look at, his favourite tv show to watch and some raisins to eat while he watches it.

It will relax him and take his focus away from being on the potty.

@LouMoo13 @DominicRaabsTravelAgent thank you will give that a go tomorrow. Another day of no poo today so will have to up the Laxido dose tomorrow and hope it gets things moving
