Hi, I'm hoping someone can give me some advice how to help my 3 year old who has just started poo withholding in holiday. He's been potty trained for a few months now except for his poos which he usually does in his nappy once a day. We haven't been able to get him to do it on the toilet yet but I figured he'd get there eventually and haven't pressed the issue.
However this week things have gotten bad and he's started poo withholding. We're on holiday in Turkey at and there's very little he wants to eat in the buffet apart from bread and hot dog sausages. And I think the poor diet, along with him not really having a private corner of the room to go to to have a poo - at home he usually takes himself away to his bedroom to do it in his nappy just before bedtime but here we're all in one little hotel room.
It's got pretty bad over the last few days, he keeps clenching his bum to hold it in and apart from a few little poops that came out actually yesterday, he hasn't really done one in about 6 or 7 days and I'm worried he's going to end up really badly constipated and/or with a poo withholding problem when we get home.
We're here for another week so I need to do something to help him. Can anyone suggest anything? I have tried giving him oranges to help him go and yesterday I managed to get a few little bits of cucumber into him but now he's refusing to eat them as well
