DS is 2.7. I had intended potty training him over the summer but he was ready and getting increasingly upset about wet nappies earlier so we did it March/April time just after his 2nd birthday and he got it within a couple of weeks.
So he's now been dry and clean (bar the occasional leak when the potty was too far away or he was engrossed in something) for 7 months now. I've even put the potties away as he's so good at using the loo. He has a special seat and a stool for the toilet at home and a Potette for when we're out.
But for the past week, he's been pooing in his pants!! Not huge poos, but 3 or 4 (we're on 3 already today) little, stinky 'nuggets'.
He doesn't say a word so my first clue is the smell, then I take him to the loo, take off the dirty underwear and let him sit on the toilet while I fetch clean pants, he usually wees then I clean him, put the new underwear on and tell him that he must tell Mummy when he needs a poo and we carry on with whatever we were doing.
Although I must admit, I have told him it's naughty to poo in his pants today as I'm getting very fed up
He's not done it while we're out yet, only at home. He's done it during the week with only me at home and over the evenings/weekend when DH was here. His poo's aren't soft either so it's not a tummy bug.
I'm not sure what else to do about this. I certainly don't want him back in nappies as he's been out of them for so long. I have wondered if it's something to do with the baby I'm carrying which is due in 5 weeks but he seems excited by the prospect and I've worked really hard to make sure all changes have been done well in advance and are gradual so while Mummy is a bit stiff and sore and can't run around so much, not a lot else has changed for him. He was stroking and cuddling my friends 3 month old earlier and telling people about his baby sister!
Any suggestions on what to do would be very much appreciated...
