Possibly he had a painful BM on the potty or that without support for his feet (e.g. potty squatty) it's uncomfortable. (Very common reasons.) Talk to his PCP about using a stool softener /gentle laxative so that his stool are soft? Might have better luck that way. Also, upping the reward - really upping it - is not a bad idea. When our first child regressed after #2 was born, it was a struggle until I promised #1 something they really wanted. The issue resolved itself within a week. | |

I can usually tell when he's going to have a BM, but he will fight (sometimes very aggressively) to not sit on the potty at these times. Haven't spoken to a medical person yet. He has stated that 'it hurts' when pooping on the toilet, but I don't really believe that because it's usually in response to a leading question and he doesn't complain about pain when pooping his underwear. | |
