Pregnancy Info HOME

This is so familiar! My 1st DD started using the potty all the time sucessfully for pee before her 2nd birthday which was great as #2 was due one month after her bday. But she NEVER used it for poo. Finally I just let it go, meaning I didn't put diapers on her to poo in. She went a week without pooing! Then complained of stomach ache. I brought her to the doc and in the office while I was undressing her a HUGE (my god the size!) poo started to come out but got stuck! I totally paniked as it looked so painful! I screamed for the doc and she rubbed her tummy and massaged around and finally she gave birth to the poo. After that she always used the potty. The doc said it is very common that they are scared/hesitant to go poo, and very typical the hold it and get constipated....So I guess for you it's just a matter of time. Oh when #2 was born my 1st never regressed in potty-training. She did want the bottle though again when I stopped breast feeding #1, that was at 3 years! Good luck!
