[quote=Anonymous]Agree with squatting and maybe giving a little prune juice or something else to help move things along. My DD had the same issue and became constipated from holding it in. It turned into a vicious cycle because then it became too painful to poop and she really had trouble. We raised her knees up like another PP said but also sat together in the bathroom for awhile. I would read her books and we'd talk about courage and how I knew she could get the courage to do it and once she started it would be over really fast and wouldn't hurt anymore. I even used the Qtip trick and some vaseline (had to do this when she was a baby) and that helped get her going in giving her the urge to push. Of course, I asked first and she finally relented. I didn't want to make it anymore traumatic but she finally did it and boy was I proud. Crazy how pooping becomes an accomplishment that brings tears to a mommy's eyes. Yikes.[/quote]
