Has anyone had problems with number 2 training their child?
My DD is 3 and has been wee trained since 2 1/2 and is quite happy to take herself off to the toilet for a wee but we have only had a few weeks of number 2 success's? She holds on to poo's and used to do this until night time when she would have a night nappy on. Now she continuously squeezes her bottom cheeks but will have lots of accidents in her knickers (can be up to 7 pairs of knickers a day). I dont get cross with her and just say nothing and clean and change her. We have tried sticker charts and rewards of sweets etc once there is a poo on the potty. I try to catch her on her strain of holding it in and put her straight on the potty and very occasionally she will do a decent sized poo then we go mad on the praise etc. She is not happy about sitting on the toliet but will sit for a decent period of time on a potty. I try to give her plenty of time without any knickers/trousers etc on to make it easier for her. I feel a bit of a failure on this as she picks up everything else we teach her so quickly. I ask her regulary if she need to use the potty but her response to us is that "Its OK mummy I do it in my knickers!" Where am I going wrong? Will I ever get her poo trained? I really would appreciate any suggestions as I really dont know what to do now? ------------- Gill http://lilypie.com">

my son took nearly 8 mths to get poo trained. we just had to persevere.. in the end we found he was going at night mostly after his nappy was on so we delayed putting his nappy on till just before bed and then stretched that out by half an hour... ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">
