[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was taking the "he isn't on a schedule" as he doesn't poop at predictable times.  Some people do, and some people don't.  When my kid was that age, you could set your watch by his poops.  Me, not so much, even as an adult I generally find that I need to poop at very inopportune times.  1/2 way through a movie, in the middle of my commute to work.  I don't think you can "put" someone on a pooping schedule.  You can put them on a schedule for sitting on the potty or "trying" which is probably a good idea here, but it may not lead to more success.

Putting them on a schedule for when to go sit on the potty is the tried and true method for difficult to potty trainers.  The FIRST thing every developmental pediatricians, gastro, etc will recommend.  If it does not work then other methods can be tried but not putting the kid on a schedule indicates a lazy parent more than anything else.[/quote]

But the OP says she has tried or is trying having him sit on a schedule, but it doesn't work for this kid because he doesn't poop on a schedule.  At least that's how I'm reading the first post.[/quote]
