Guest guest Posted August 5, 2001 Report Share Posted August 5, 2001 When we started potty training our 4yo at the beginning of June, she would sit on the potty for over four hours without going. We did the all day potty party for two days. Now she seems to be getting the idea, but for a couple of weeks everyone involved spent a LOT of time in the bathroom, and it was quite a bother to have to take her every 10-15 minutes for a couple of weeks but she's now on a 40-45 minute off schedule and she goes almost immediately she sits on the potty. It's also very unusual for her to have an accident when she's out of the house. Can't say we've had any problems with her not pooping in the potty. Maybe they're still to come?

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2001 Report Share Posted August 5, 2001 It is certainly an option. Everyone in all the environments (school-home or whereever) has to do the same thing otherwise who ever gives him the pull-up -that's where he will go. My daughter still tends to hold her urine or poop. She's three and finally just starting to get the hang of potty stuff. Has gone 3 times in potty the last 3 days. We are holding our breathe We are still in pull-ups and she still does her BMs in there. So might be in the same boat with you soon. I also had a friend whose NT little girl would do the same thing. How they handled it - they made a hole in the pull up in the back and kept making it bigger and bigger as the child got use to seeing her poop in the potty. Eventually they weaned her off the pull-up. It was kinda messy though. Good luck Let us know how it turns out since some of us may have that problem later Jeneane, Houston Nick NT-5 PDD-NOs-3 Beth NT-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
