Show your support
Ugh 😩 it’s exhausting, I had the opposite my 2.5 year old finally started actively going potty to poop but never pee, he will just pee himself and not try to make it and then he regressed to not making it to poop. He needs to be potty trained by 3 😵💫. I just started following this pediatric physical therapy that helps give tips and advice on insta called tiny.toilets.pottytraining
@DeAngenae You’re the third person who told me about the enemas! His buddy’s mom told me when they were training him, he held his poop in for 4 days and then they had to do the enema. After that one time he went on his own. … did yours fight and scream on the toilet after administering it or was his compliant
@Aileen best wishes to you. It’s so frustrating and exhausting. I’m not all about the regression 😭
I'm struggling too and need him fully trained by September 😭😭😭 he does fantastic when we're out of the house or even the first half of the day but after supper? Doesn't even try anymore 😭🙃 just gives up despite bribery
We let our 3 year old in the bathroom with us while we use it and stick to the reward system. Also for 6 months our boy didn't wear any pants undies diapers or any bottoms at all. Ours had poop anxiety for a while as well. We would let him in the room alone with his potty(always not pants or bottoms) and if I swear one day he ran into my room where I was folding laundry saying "I did it I pooped in the potty!" It is up to him u can't rush it or he will have more anxiety about it. I promise as soon as you surrender to it only happening on his own time when he's ready that's when he will do it.
@Jennifer Ramirez The poop anxiety 😭😭😭 Yes. I may just have to give it a break and surrender for a bit. All week it’s been poop drama. We wanted to help start the transition so that he can use the potty in daycare and not send him wearing pull ups. But he needs to be fully toilet trained by September :/
@Elizabeth GIRL SAME 😭😭😭😭 We’re really struggling over here
My sister suggested Mr Poo goes to Pooland, it's a crazy cartoon on YouTube, I swear my kid watched it twice and pooed on the potty ever since!
@Jai I wish it were that easy! We’ve done all the books and little shows and videos about pooping. Songs too. Cognitively he gets it. But he’s got some major poop anxiety and I feel like we just can’t get to him. Mr Poo goes to Poo land. I’ll look it up!
Ur deadline is the same as ours 😭😵💫 till sept also, I gave it a rest so it’s not so much pressure and gonna try the reward system to see if it motivates mine cause I know he understands also that poop and pee goes in potty cause I’ve asked him
Same story as yours. Pedialax enemas. Use as directed before bedtime or when you usually knows he has to poop. Sit him on the toilet immediately after. Six come in a pack. After the second one my son realized he’d rather WILLINGLY poop in the toilet. Also no more pull-ups. Underpants only. Even if he soils them, make him help clean them. Also this is not some random torture I made up. Read “Jamie Glowackis Pooping Solutions”
