[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The morning poop schedule poster is on to something. My 3 year old DD has been on miralax. For a year and suffers from constipstion. She eats lots of fruits, veggies and whole grains but has a withholding habit. Anyways her GI recommended putting her on the potty every morning after breakfast for three minutes and in the evening after dinner. We do the after dinner but mornings are chaotic so we haven’t attempted mornings yet. Apparently having them sit on the potty stimulates their bowels even if they end up doing nothing. It’s called bowel training :) Don’t see what’s wrong with it. Obviously in addition to having her  try to poop after meals we also encourage her to poop whenever she feels the urge.[/quote]

It simply is not that predictable for unmedicated preschoolers.  And pooping before school does not make a kid more clean or crisp unless he/she poops in her pants and no one cleans the kid up. [/quote]

Yes I agree. And rest of her post was ridiculous. I’m just saying that our GI recommends putting DD on a pooping schedule and people who poop on schedule tend to be the least constipated. Every pediatric GI recommends this not just ours. And to make it clear. Your kid may not poop but they still should sit on the toilet after every meal.[/quote]
