My DD is 2.5 and potty trained with pee during the day. The problem is that she constantly poops her pants. Most of the time she tells us, but it's immediate event. With her pee she'll tell us and can hold it to get to a potty. Daycare says it's normal, but it's been almost 2 months of poopy underwear. Any advice?

Have you considered having her not wear underwear and go commando for a while? The book we read (Oh Crap! Potty Training) said underwear can mimic a diaper, which causes some kids to think it's okay to poop in them. For DS, we had him go commando (even to school) for the first 4 weeks after we said bye bye to diapers. When we introduced underwear, he did regress a bit and have some accidents (including poop), but we were able to quickly turn that around by reinforcing that underwear was not diapers and he can't poop or pee in them. Now 2 weeks after underwear, things have pretty much normalized and no more poop accidents.
Good luck - poop is the hardest part of potty training. You'll get through it though!

Also, this might sound weird - but our book suggested having your kid help dump the poop into the big potty after he/she goes in the little potty. Then they can wave bye bye to the poo and help flush. DS thought that was really fun, and it encouraged him to go poop in the potty. Might seem weird...but I was like...whatever works!

Thanks - we'll try commando and see if that works. I bribed her with a single serving pouch of sour patch kids if she goes poop in the potty.

Omg, I am just picturing poop rolling out of my kids pants. At least the undies contain it. I feel like I would be immediately in a nightmare scenario.

Hehehehe - it's so hot here we only do shorts, but he honestly has only had a few poo incidents in his shorts - and that was at the beginning of potty training. It was gross the few times it happened, but not too hard to clean up. Now that DS been diaper free for about 6 weeks, he's in undies and accidents are few and far between. |
