Hello Fellow Mama's!
I'm looking for some guidance.
My son started peeing in the toilet August of 2017.
He's done very well with that. He was 2.5 years old at the time.
As far as pooping is concerned, he quickly adapted to pooping in the toilet at daycare but wouldn't poop in the toilet at home. Still won't.
And now, at 3 years of age, he started pooping in his underwear more at daycare as well. It's been really frustrating as it's really dirty/disgusting and we end up changing him a few times a day or he holds in his poop and gets constipated.
We have tried talking to him about it after every accident and every day how we poop in the toilet, how big boys poop in toilets, how all of his friends poop in the toilet. We've tried the reward system but he won't go for it. Just refuses to poop in the toilet. Goes in his underwear.
What confuses us greatly is that at daycare he'll do it in the toilet so, why when he's with us at home will he only go in the underwear?
Anyway, what I"m looking for is any similar situations and at what point or what you had to do in order to get your toddler to poop in the toilet. What was that transition like. Did you have to make changes or anything that helped with it? Thanks!
