[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2.5 yo has been potty trained for pee for several months, with very few accidents. We can't get him to poop in the potty or the toilet. He doesn't generally poop in his underwear, unless we are at a playground. He will poop every single time we go to the playground, sometimes multiple times. If we haven't been to the playground in a while for some reason, he will hold it until we go to one. We've been putting him in pullups at the playground because we just can't deal with all the poopy underwear. It doesn't matter if he's in underwear, pullup or commando, he will poop. We bring a potty with us to the playground and SET IT UP RIGHT THERE and he'll poop in his pants anyway. We've tried bribing him with high-quality things. Do we just keep waiting? It's been months. Is there something else we can do?[/quote]

My kid did this but didnt just do it at playgrounds or withhold. It was VERY frustrating because sometimes we would only have 45minutes at the playground and 10min in he needs to go and then it was changing him (he wasnt potty trained at the time) in the backseat and that took 10min to walk to the car, change, walk back and then it made the rest of the play seem too short. He even started doing it once he was potty trained. He isnt 100% out of the woods with it and we have to bring a portable potty anywhere we go. He is good about listening to his body but if he hasnt pooped in 24 hours, you get him running around and poop there it is. He does wait for a toilet but sometimes, like at the pool, we take him home because the pool bathrooms are gross. Btw, he is a 1-2/day pooper so he isnt withholding at all.

Your kid must need a bit of excitement and activity to go over the threshold of withholding. Its like coffee for some people or anxiety pee for some people. [/quote]
