Poos

Any tips on getting my little one to stop holding her poo in. Its making her so miserable :( (and me tbh). Im giving lactulose, high fibre foods and ive tried prunes but she will use every oz of strength she has to hold it in. Weve been potty training nearly 2 weeks now and we have wees sorted down to a t, shes so good at going but its number 2s that were struggling with. Ive tried bribery, sticker charts (useless lol), games, youtube videos about it and nothing is working. Its getting to the point where she wont even play because she focussed on holding it in. Its 4 days tomo since her last poo which she did on potty after holding for 3/4 days before that. Sorry long post but idk what to do 🫠😩 thanks. X

I feel the same way. I’m literally about to just give up

Not gonna give up now as shes done amazing. But she wont even poo in a nappy so that wouldnt work for me 🤦‍♀️ just have no clue how to help her :(

We have the same issue. Our LO started withholding poop after some constipation where had some painful poops and I think that then scared her to poo. We’ve just been consistent with lactose and she’s finally starting to poop regularly again but this has going on for months .

@Lola yeah i fear this is why my little one is holding hers because of some painful ones shes had. But the last poo she did have flew out and she said it didn’t hurt so i thought maybe she wouldn’t hold it again but i was wrong and she still wont go :( ill carry on with the lactulose and hope she just gets used to it eventually x
