š©Advice Neededā¦ā¦
LO has been potty trained a few weeks now, we waited until she was fully ready and did this at her pace, she has done amazing with wees, completely dry during the day with hardly any accidents. She was very fussed with such an achievement, and got a few treats etc.
However she is withholding poos.
We have tried a number of ātricksā.
No issues with privacy, she asks us to go with her to the potty / toilet. Healthy diet with no changes recently. Have tried the bubble / distractions ideas.
We have a star chart off Amazon.
Currently reading āoh crapā book.
LO refuses to wear a pull up to do a poo (another idea which was suggested to us) and will only wear knickers (during the day). We have had a LOT of talking re normalising pooing, have watched the YouTube video Pooland story / spoke about us going to the toilet etc, so LO is very aware when we use the toilet and the normality of it.
LO has only ever pooed once on the potty, we cannot not recall any incidence which may have upset her / made her uncomfortable to poo again.
LO is now only having a small poo in her pull up when she goes to sleep, so is waking up and we are having to change her.
Going to look into stool softeners etc, if this will help.
Has any else LOās been like this? Any advice very much appreciated š

Also what I would add as well is we all have different ācyclesā lol so some of my friends poo every day some every other etc I think Iāve realised my lg isnāt ah every dayer even though she eats for England. So one to bare in mind x
Thank You so much @Vickie for your reply. Definitely reassurance I needed. So we bought some Lactulose, our LO had a diarrhoea episode and has then not had a š©since. Unsure how long / how frequent to use the Lactulose for. Praying LO will develop a liking for the toilet soon š

Hey. Iāve done a few responses on this. We started potty training in Jan and it went well then she got constipated about 6 weeks ago and had a poo that hurt and we had 6weeks of hell. We got some lactulose from the dr, and started giving her more regular prunes & pears so she had no choice but to go essentially. I dunno about you but mine is a very strong willed girl š I actually found with hindsight that is hovering over her putting pressure on was making it worse. Gradually sheās started to do it on the toilet / potty again now ok her own accord and we do (as you have been) lots of praise etc I donāt have any magic solution unfortunately, I think itās just time & patience ( which is obvs super hard for a worried mum & dad!) but no youāre not alone and it will happen.
