Re: BM issues any suggestions

[Guest guest]

My daughter has the connection... she's just refusing to make a BM

until she gets her overnight diaper on. Testing me just a bit. I

haven't figured out what to do about this yet..... tomorrow is

another day!

My youngeest did the same thing...and would go hide to " do his

business " . I finally decided one that day that enough was enough.

I waited until I saw him go to hide, and dashed over, carried him

into the bathroom, and camped out until he went on the toilet. We

were in there over 1 1/2 hours. Yes, I do have other kids. I just

kept telling them that their brother was learning how to use the

potty, and that we were going to be in the bathroom for a while.

Yes, my house looked like a tornado had gone thru it after all that

time.

He cried and fussed, but in the end, he HAD to go - couldn't hold it

any longer. I yippeed, and woo-hooed, and clapped and danced and

gave a favorite treat, all the while praising him!!!

Day 2 - still had to carry him into the bathroom, but only had to

stay in for about 10 minutes. Yippee, ect.

Day 3 - had to carry in to bathroom, but immediate poop. Yippee!!

Day 4 - frantic looking face. Me, " do you need to poop? " son- " yes "

and in the bathroom we went and he went immediately.

Day 5 - independant poop!!

So, I think if I hadn't waited it out on that 1st day - I would

still be changing poopy diapers!!

My daughter did this. Later we found unexpected gut issues. She is

not even my apraxic kid.

My daughter did this and we later found a GI issue. She was

constipated. We are still investigating but it is likely not the

usuals (gluten, casein) as she is off those. Looks like metal.

Regardless, what helped before we knew there was an issue was leaving

her to go on the potty on the floor. With feet dangling on the big

potty is harder, particularly if constipated (which we never knew

until GI appt as she went every day). I think when they hide to do it

they are finding a spot and a way to make it come out easier.
