Still No pooping.....argh

One thing that helped with my son is giving him a warm bath. It loosens the bowels and he will have to go. Of course, you have to watch carefully because we had a few poops in the tub! But maybe try to give her a warm bath and then have her sit on the potty. I still sometimes have to grab him out of the tub when I see him making faces and put him on the potty. I got tired of cleaning poop out of the tub! (make sure you keep a few cups handy!)

Another thing I did was I got my son a potty training doll. You can use any doll, really. But try having her potty train one of her baby dolls. Remind her that Baby has to go both #1 AND #2. It's worth a shot, I say!!

Good luck!!!

Ok I know this might sound crazy but it worked for me and my sister. I told my kids that when you flush the potty, all the stuff goes to a pond and that is how you feed the fish. I took a couple of pieces of paper and folded them together and stapled down the fold and drew a little book about fishies. I was amazing at how well it worked. My daughter was fully trained at 20 mo. because I had learned this secret with my son. She tells her poopie bye bye and says, "Mommy, I fed the fishies!!"

Hope this helps....Please let me know.

Hello J., my name is E.. I too have a little girl. I had the same problem just over a year ago. Part of her not wanting to go #2 was due to the fact that she was constipated for most of her first 2 years of life till we found a medicine that would help her out. When she figured out that it wouldn't hurt to poop then she would go in her pants no problem. Like your little girl, Linzi didn't go in a corner or anything she would just stand right in front of you and poop. Good lord at the smell from such a beautiful child. LOL Anyways, I started letting her use the big potty and bought the flushable moist wipes and told her that if she poopied in the potty like a big girl then we would wipe her with the moist wipes. It took about 2 weeks and she didn't poop in her panties anymore. Now she can't get to the bathroom fast enough when she feels it coming on. It's too funny now. I can't wait till she can wipe her own bottom now. LOL. Does daddy help with this when she is with him? The two of you need to be on the same page about it or it will take forever. Just because the two of you aren't together, you still have to work together to help her with this.
Linzi also had an unusual schedule, I was a stay at home mom and he is a bartender. We use to have late hours. Up late at night and slept most of the day. That will work itself out when she gets use to the different environments. Takes a little longer for some to get adjusted. When I went back to school, she was still on his schedule. Now she is on mine, up early and in bed no later than 10. I don't care what anyone thinks about her bed time. She is my child not theirs and she get's her sleep. Don't be discouraged, keep your head up. Good luck with your little on.

First of all I wouldn’t worry about what everyone else is doing. Common or not everyone is different. I would take notice when she is having accidents is it based on her schedule when she is with your or her dad. Is it a stressful environment when you meet with each other to exchange visitation. Do you work both jobs when she is in school or are you working after school hours and she is staying with someone other than you or her dad? The time you spend with her is it one on one quality time? Is your separation recent and was she having this problem before. I would take a look at these problems to see if her problem might be psychological or not. Are her stools runny, soft, or formed? Is she making any facial expression or are her bowel movements evacuating on there on with no apparent effort from her. When she urinates she should be encouraged to sit just a little bit longer. Maybe she has not related the feeling in her stomach with her bowel movements. Maybe she is just to occupied with what she is doing, when you have to urinate the feeling is different from a bowel movement. Urination is a stronger more precise feeling; bowel movements are more stomach pain. When she passes gas bring her to the toilet so she can sit for a while, so she may learn to relate that feeling with her bowel movements. I would take note of these things in a small notebook and I would make an appointment with her pediatrician and discuss it with him or her.

This is completely normal! Each child is different when it comes to learning how to use the potty. It is part of the process for a child to potty in certain situations and not in others. If she has just started a new school, she may not feel comfortable going #2 while there. She may have felt very comfortable going with the sitter, so it wasn't a problem for her. Children who are going through new experiences may also have to re-learn certain aspects of potty training.
The most important thing is to not punish her or make her feel bad for having accidents. Some pre-schools and day care facilities have policies regarding potty usage, so that may be why the teacher mentioned it. However, if they don't, make sure the teacher doesn't single her out from the class, that may hinder her ability to go #2 at school. When she has an accident, let her know that it is OK, and talk to her in a helping way. You can even ask her to help you "clean up" her accidents.
I have three year old twins who were completely trained. We even went on vacation with no issues. They went potty on the plane, at the amusement parks, etc. However, they started a new school this fall and one of my girls has at least two accidents everyday. She is adjusting to the new classroom, so her focus isn't on this potty training skill that she was previously mastering. When she has an accident, we and the school very kindly let her know that it is ok and we clean it up together, and move on!
Another thing you can try is to figure out if she is having her #2 accidents around the same time of day. If so, then have a potty break, around that same time, or just have them throughout the day. We have these at home because our girls get so busy, they sometimes forget. We just say "ok, it's potty break time! This has worked well.
Also, sometimes toddlers have painful #2 and then are later afraid to go again.
A book I highly recommend is "Everyone poops." Our girls love it and it helps understanding the process.
Hope this helps!!
