dd is weeing but no poo

[pud1]

have been trining for 3 days and she has mastered weeing but she has not had a poo for 3 days, she must be holding on to it. is this normal

My 3rd DC would only poo in nappies for a while- she asked for her nappy and wouldn't poo on the potty for a while- do you think it could be similar?

We have just been through this. DD went at least a couple of weeks using the potty well for wees before she would consider using it for poos. Everyone told me it was common, but I worried. She would save it up for naps/overnight when she had a nappy on - I wasn't overly concerned as I knew she was at least pooing, but I did wonder when this would end. We then had a few days when I kept her up all afternoon with no nap (which was hellish at times she got so grumpy!) and each day we had half an hour on and off the potty while she decided whether or not to poo. And then one day she just did it! That was about 10 days ago, and we have had poo in the potty most days since then (but some still come while asleep). I'm no expert but I think if training has only been 3 days it's still really really early and there is plenty of time for it to all fall in place. Good lcuk!

It's very common. Just going through it here.
I have resorted to promise of chocolate if he poos in the potty.
He is still generally saving it up for a bedtime nappy; of hiding from me and pooing in his pants.
If I catch him straining and try to get him on the potty he tells me 'Poo poo has gone mummy', and manages to hold on for hours or even days!
I'm just hoping that with enough praise and chocolate he will come round...

Oh yes Zil, I forgot to say that chocolate does help!

Starting potty training yesterday and DD is doing the same thing. She is also doing wonderfully for wees in the morning but then when it comes to the afternoon she wont use the potty and will end up having an accident, particularly if i take her outside to play. I think it's because she has a poo brewing, but i am no expert but cannot be sure. So far she's not had a poo since Friday and has been complaining of a tummy ache today, to which i told her that it's because she needs a poo on the potty etc. Chocolate bribary hasn't worked so far lol.

I'm assuming this is all normal??

We are on week three of this with DS1 (3.2). Wees in the potty but holds on to poo for as long as possible (up to two days) then at the very last minute does it in his pants. We have upped the poo rewards to Smarties and ice lollies but no dice!

Am hoping someone will have a magic solution or at least say he'll get it in his own time...

DD went to bed, said she wanted the toilet, went back into bed, did a poo in her nappy, sat on the toilet again for another 10 minutes proclaiming she was doing a poo and a wee, nappy finally went back on and hoorah, back into bed. I think the 10 minute toilet stint was a ploy to stay up tho. Her poo was quite hard so this could have been why she was hopping up and down on and off the potty all afternoon! Hopefully if it's looser tomorrow, she'll get the hang of pooing in the potty. Or i might just be wishful thinking.....

sorry, you might think I'm gross, but as DS already had chronic constipation before potty training (he's on movicol) I've done everything I can to encourage him pooing - to the point that I show him mine if he's in the bathroom with me. when he manages a big one, DH has started calling it a silly sausage, which DS loves and is very proud of now - he's fascinated by looking at them in the loo.

DS doesn't withhold, but struggles to get them out, so I've told him that when we eat, juice takes the food to the belly, then water takes it in the poo to the bum. then he thinks it swims to the poo river to be cleaned. he can now talk for britain on it. don't know if any of this will help.
