Advice needed. My youngest is afraid to poop in the toilet. She literally tried her hardest to hold it in and gets constipated. She goes to pee fine. Any of you mamas been through this??

Another mom told me about her sons experience with this. She said she’d sit him on the potty and make him blow bubbles. Something about it helped him relax and the blowing got it flowing out of him. I never tried it but she said her pediatrician at the time suggested it.

My daughter does this sometimes. I’ve been telling her everyone poops and I’ll even tell her when I poop. TMI but it works. Be open about your bowel movements to her and see if that helps

We all showed her how we poop lol she’s let it go in the toilet only twice. How’s your daughter doing with number 2 and what has helped?

she holds it too and she’s gotten constipated over it. It’s seriously draining

ugh I’m sorry I know it’s hard on both of y’all. I have to watch her like a hawk I just saw her clenching her legs together and took her to the toilet and kept counting to three pushing hard, stop breath and keep trying until it came out.

Both my kids were like that. They pooped in pull-ups until they were ready. It was rough but I had to be patient with them

Yeah I’m at that point girl she’s only comfortable pooping standing up either in a pull up or undies. 😫 it’s been a struggle for awhile now

I know we struggled with it for almost a year after my oldest was trained. We just kept talking about pooping on the potty and when he was ready he let me know. It’s frustrating but it’s all about when their are ready

My oldest was like this. I had to make a treasure box with cheap toys and that really helped. Even now at almost 5 he has his weeks where he'll hold it in which makes him constipated, when he starts telling me he has to poop butnwont go I'll give him my phone to relax him
