It seems to help move things along so maybe giving him something like that after dinner would help get it out before bed. Or a maybe bit of prune juice with dinner? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-waking-to-poop#post-2892060 Tue, 23 Jul 2019 15:08:48 +0000 agold 2892060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try watermelon and apples! (or is it applesauce?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-waking-to-poop#post-2891836 Sun, 21 Jul 2019 11:12:12 +0000 SweetiePie 2891836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: yes this. And can give poop-inducing foods during the day to help that process. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-waking-to-poop#post-2891818 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 21:12:47 +0000 MrsSRS 2891818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes you can change it! Try sending your LO to the potty 20 to 30 minutes after every meal with a cheerful prompt of "it's pooping time!" and have them sit for a few minutes. It sounds dumb but it works surprisingly often. If they can start pooping several times a day the early morning/middle night one should stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-waking-to-poop#post-2891691 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 12:37:32 +0000 Petitduck 2891691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My youngest does this often and is up for the day at 5. Sigh. </p> <p>I try to push a lot of food at dinner time and milk and aim for an hour buffer before bedtime in the hopes that a poo will occur before bedtime. I throw snacks at them after dinner usually too, their after dinner treat. It doesn’t change the early wake up for my kid, but it does change if I have to go into the bedroom earlier or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-waking-to-poop#post-2891658 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 09:09:47 +0000 bakingdoodle 2891658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish there was a secret formula. My son usually goes at 7:25ish when we are supposed to leave the house to go to camp/school. It's not as early as 4:30am but it's bad timing... but I prefer he goes at home than in a public place. i don't think there's anything we can do... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-waking-to-poop#post-2891638 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 06:03:28 +0000 cyoung 2891638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man if you figure out a way then let me know cause both my kids poop first thing every morning. My kids wake up at 5:30 every morning so I feel you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-waking-to-poop#post-2891633 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 03:55:47 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2891633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our 3 year old wakes up like clockwork at 4:30 am to poop. He is daytime potty trained but wears a diaper at night. This is getting so old! I thought he would stop on his own but we’re at 2 months of EVERY SINGLE DAY. He actually does go so I feel like I can’t just send him back to bed. Him being up wakes up our 2 other kids and sometimes someone ends up being awake for the day.</p> <p>Is there some sort of trick to change a kid’s pooping schedule?? I am going crazy! </p>
