We do have to keep an open line of communication or else she doesn't get into some potty problems. <BR/><BR/>Instead of having a daily conversation we have a potty chart where she gets a sticker for when she poops. She's three so this works for us for now.<BR/><BR/>We were going a week at a time with out pooping so I ended up having to call our ped. What worked for us is just taking some vasaline and rubbing it on her bottom. Just with a finger and (I know this sounds a bit icky) sticking a little just inside her anus. <BR/><BR/>Then we'd sit her on the potty and in a few minutes she'd go! Apparently it stimulated her enough to go...and we didn't have to do PediLax or oral medication. <BR/><BR/>We did this for a couple of days in a row and, becaue it wasn't addictive, don't have to continue it. Whenever we get in a bind (no pun intended) it's our cure of choice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609697803613641438.post-18061519869832174642008-11-29T13:56:00.000-06:002008-11-29T13:56:00.000-06:00We are dealing with this now.

We are feeding her apples and apple juice and we're trying the warm bath tonight.<BR/><BR/>Any other ideas?Emily/Randomabilityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340705342007038178noreply@blogger.com
