DD went through this and it took many months before she'd go on the potty and i'll be honest still to this day it's still a nightmare. I feel like she holds it for an assortment of reasons (too busy playing/doesn't want to stop, doesn't want to go at school, just doesn't want to go) and it then causes it to be painful so then she holds it bc of that! It's a serious nightmare in our house even after getting through the diaper to poop phase.

@Adira: Full time. I wanted him to go when he felt the urge, not hold because he didn't have a pull-up on. He was in daycare full time, so they really weren't equipped to be able to change him into a pull-up at a moment's notice also. I would take him to the bathroom to pee often, even when he didn't say he had to go to reinforce the idea that we still pee in the potty.

@Adira: We did, yes! Prune pouches, prune juice, and lots of liquids to try to flush out her system a bit since she was holding it and making herself constipated. She was super afraid of pooping on the potty and afraid of it hurting (result of constipation).

@Adira: You're welcome! It worked pretty well for us! Good luck!
