Still struggling with poo!

My boy had constipation issues when we first started and it took him a whole year to start pooing on the potty/toilet from when we started with no problems with wee’s What really helped us was a sticker chart and when ever he did a poo on the potty or even tried I gave him a sticker and really OVeR the top praise!! The stickers were like drugs to him 🤣 I’d tel him that he did such a good job for trying and next time we can try pushing it out, I kept it very positive and when he did have accidents neutral and we put the poo into the potty together from his pull-ups / undies 😅😅🤣

I did also tried like distracting him when he was on the potty when I know he needed to poo with like questions or a song etc TMI but I also let him come in with me when I had to use the bathroom and said things like ohh.. mommy needs a poo! Let’s go! And gave myself a sticker and all that too 🤣

Yeah we’re doing the sticker chart but I think she’s lost interest in the sticker reward , We also let her come into the toilet with us , tell her when we are going for a poo etc Also have a book that’s just for pooing in the toilet I’m at a loss I thinking she isn’t going to be poo trained by the time she goes to school next year

Yes in the same boat. Does it great with no bottoms of no problem that’s how I started off recently introduced knickers and lots of accidents in them and not even bothered about it, only the other day she felt uncomfortable for the first time after pooing. I’m so learning children are all different and do it when they are ready not within our expectations

We were in the same boat (9 months in!) and decided to take off her knickers whenever we were at home so that she couldn’t poo in them, and also took away tv for 3 weeks (until she pooped in the potty) basically took away her favourite thing as an incentive to get it back when she does poo in the potty. This is what worked for us! She was and still is on laxatives too as was poop withholding! Hoping to slowly fade these out now.
