Potty Training Question
Garrett has been potty trained for about 2 months now, however, he will not go #2 on the toilet. He won't have any accidents, but he will hold it in until we put a diaper on him. Every night he cries and says he needs to go, but won't go in the bathroom. We did try to hold out on using a diaper, but he just ends up going while sleeping and then had some consitpation issues. We've done reward charts and all of the usual stuff, but it doesn't seem to phase him. Any suggestions? Has anyone else been through this - how long did it last until they were comfortable using the toilet for this? Thanks!
Re: Potty Training Question
With my oldest, she was staying dry at night and nap so we took they pull ups away all together and she did just fine using the potty. My youngest still uses pull ups at night but she's been pooping in the potty for a couple of months now. I'm thinking it my be partly development/willingness to do it. I know it sucks, but you might just have to ride it out. We've had to do suppositories before because we tried forcing the issue and it ended in a weeks worth of poop being held in. It's just not worth it.
On the other hand, Todd had consistent accidents for over a year and a half after switching to underwear. We couldn't find any "currency" to fix the issue, but he eventually grew out of it.
I have no advice, but I feel your pain. We wanted to send him to summer camp with Jackson this summer, but right now I'm doubting that will happen. I'm praying all will be resolved by the time school starts in August, because he needs to start then.
it only lasted a few weeks past potty training her, so it wasn't so bad. But it did take a while for her to be patient enough to wait for it- or know when she needed to go.
But I think what really worked (as much as I hate to admit it) is DH started saying that he was "going to drop some kids off at the pool" and then DD wanted to try "dropping kids off at the pool" too.
