[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're getting a lot of great advice here. I went through a similar issue with my DD. Such a hard time for her and me! She was absolutely miserable holding it in. Ultimately a few weeks of Miralax helped us get over the hump. A few other things we tried: -DD responded well to pooping on the ground instead of a toilet. I just had her squat down and poop over a plastic bag. It gave her confidence and helped with her fear of pooping. -I would hold her waist and have her use her stomach muscles and try to push her belly button against my thumbs. It seemed to teach her how she can control her stomach muscles to help get the painful poops out. -I would pretend poop with Play-doh (Yes, it looked as ridiculous as it sounds). She would laugh and it was a game of trying to push her poop out while I pretended with playdoh. Other things that I dont think I have seen mentioned: -poop smoothies -Book about pooping. This one helped DD understand pooping better. Not a gamechanger but helped make progress: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1433801310/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Wishing you luck OP! I know its tough but I hope it can be resolved quickly. [/quote] Thank you! I Just ordered the book. It he Miralax kicked in. It became watery poop but it’s slowly bulking back up. Trying to find balance[/quote] I'm so glad she's making progress! [/quote]
