[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I’m a first time poster on this thread.  The point here is that many people have been through the pediatrician saying it’s no big deal and yet the issue persisted. It’s likely constipation and it needs to be addressed or you are going to be dealing with this for a looonng time. I know from firsthand experience as our pediatrician said the same. [/quote]

Yup, super common. I feel like we got lucky because our pediatrician pretty immediately said "this might be poop withholding, which is common with toilet training, here's how to use miralax to ensure it doesn't happen and prevent constipation issues." But I think that might be rare because we have had so many friends who went through similar things and their pediatrician never even mentioned constipation. But when they told us of their issues, we said "oh that sounds like what happened with us, here's what we did" and it turns out it worked for them too.

I think it's a relatively recent development in understanding toilet training issues. So an older pediatrician who doesn't necessarily read up on every new development in toileting might not really have this on their radar. Our pediatrician has kids just a few years older than my own and I think it helps with ensuring she's up to date on things because she quite recently went through a lot of this with her own kids.[/quote]
