Poop withholding advice...

[Anonymous]

Yogurt, fruit, and miralax (whatever dosage the doctor suggests, and don't miss a dosage). Prunes didn't work for us but yogurt helped a lot, so keep trying different dietary changes. Don't google it because there are people on the internet that have conspiracy theories about Miralax, but this isn't supported by science. It's gentle and is the thing that really and consistently helps. If you get the poop soft enough, they can't withhold.

My son once went 10 days without pooping. I kept calling the pediatrician but they were never concerned. I know the stress, but don't worry too much, he was always fine.

PS He's 8 now and all of this stress is long behind us. She will be fine.

In addition to Miralax, make sure your child has their feet comfortably on a stool and not dangling when sitting on the toilet. It makes a world of difference!

Have her blow bubbles while sitting on the potty.
