DS is on day 7 of pt, but I'm a little worried. Please help. Sorry tmi

I'm not really sure why he is holding his poop. He has gone in the potty 3 times and in his undies (during nap twice), oh and in the bath once (ya, I'm trying to forget about that one). The last time was in his undies when my dad was watching him (during nap) and he hasn't gone since. He has an activia yogurt every morning, and lots of fruit througout the day (oranges, strawberries, grapes, peaches, etc.) I have asked him over and over if he has to poo and he says no. He knows that he gets a "big" chocolate for going poo, but he just doesn't need to (or so he says). It has been 2 days since he has gone and I'm a little worried. He is normally an everyday pooper. What do you suggest? Did anyone else go through this during potty training? Did it get better with time?

  • It took my DS about 2 weeks to get comfortable with poop in the potty.  I honestly thought it was gonna take MUCH longer.  One day he just did it and after that, no problems.  I wouldn't worry too much yet, it sounds like Preston is doing fantastic!  He's doing much better than my DS if he's already telling you he needs to pee!
  • My son is potty training too.  He didn't poop all day yesterday and he is  a twice a day pooper.  Today he pooped 3 times in his undies and hid when he did.  When I caught him he screamed and put his hand up and tried to hide from me.  I think they just get scared and embarassed.  I tried to tell him it was ok it was an accident and lets go finish on the potty.  He calms down after that.  Poop is the hardest I hear!

  • DD has been training for a little over a month & she still holds it.  She has not gone since Sat. she used to be regular but now she is a every 2-3 day girl.  I just hope she gets used to going everyday again.

  • It took DD 8 days to really get the poop on the potty thing down.  She was going in her underwear most, but not all days before that.  She was a 2x a day pooper in a diaper/pullup, so once a day or once every other day was really unusual for her. . . and she was only pooping little bits in her underwear, so she was obviously holding some of it.

    I figure that pooping habits probably change a lot post-diapers.

    Once she figured it out, she's regulated to a 1x per day pooper, fairly predictably, "normal" amounts.

    It gets better.
