Casen has done really well with potty training, however the pooping part is an issue. It is not that he poops in his underwear, he just doesn't like to poop at all. Despite Miralax daily, which has been part of his daily regimen since he was an infant, he will hoard his poop generally for a week or so and has gone as long as two weeks about a month ago. Part of the issue with this is, he will be uncomfortable for days, bouncing up and down or steadily moving his legs and still will do everything in his might not to poop until we finally 'make' him go. Shane is better at 'making' him go by basically putting him on the pot, and leaving him there until he goes, with some verbal convincing along the way. Casen is a crying, snotting hot mess through this process. It honestly is just NO FUN!!!!
Well, I was telling my friend Lorrie about this and she has a neighbor who went through the same thing and ended up getting a book to help her child. Lorrie thought anything was worth a shot, so today in the mail, Casen received his new book. I can't wait to see if this helps our issue!
