Potty training - peeing going great, poop not so much (23 month old)


We decided to use our holiday break to attempt potty training. We mostly used the 3 day method from the "oh crap!" Book and so far it's going great as far as peeing goes! She totally gets it and is already asking for the potty when she has to go. However, pooping has been a little bit of a struggle. She had a great successful poop in the potty the second day , was super proud of herself and was excited to dump the poop in the real toilet. Anyway, today was a different story: She was doing her poopy dance, so I said "okay, poopy goes in the potty, let's go!" And brought her to the potty and she cried and screamed and did not want to sit on the potty and kept asking for a diaper. This went on for 2 hours. She would say she had to go poopie, we would bring her to the potty , she wouldn't sit down, cried, asked for a diaper even when poop was literally hanging out of her butt hole.So, the "oh crap !" Book says I should not give in and give her a diaper, (and I didn't do that until they very end and she asked to take it off and ended up pooping on the floor anyway ) but the mom in me is nervous about giving her weird pooping issues and making her constipated. By the end of the night she was so uncomfortable from holding it in that she was crying and asking for medicine :(.Anyway, tomorrow is a new year and new day to poop, but just want to be better prepared if it happens again. Anyone else experience this and have good advice/ recommendations?Tldr: It's new year's Eve and I'm asking about 💩. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2ikk3tM
