Matthew is 2 and hes taken to the potty really well but he wont poo on it!! When he needs a poo he will start running up and down the hall saying im ok, im ok and then he starts jumping! He does this to stop the poo coming out and eventually the need to go passes, then he goes through the whole thing again when the urge comes back and he eventually ends up pooing on the floor!!! He ends up saying his tummy hurts which must be happening because he holds it in. Ive tried rewards, hugs, talking or telling him it makes me sad or cross but nothing works! Anyone got any ideas?? please xxxx

Hi im inexactly the same boat with my son matt he insists on having a nappy on when he needs a poo if he doesnt he screams the house down, holds it in until i put im in a nappy for bed or poo on the floor. A friend suggested showing him when u or oh have done a poo to show him it ok.My oh is totally against the idea x

im having the exact same problem daniels fantastic when it comes to doing wees, but when it comes to poos just cant seem to gert anywhere wiv it.
iv tred letting him run bout wiv no nappy on, hoping hell go on the potty for one, and actually sitting him on the toilet but nothing, hed much rather go in his underpants its getting bit frustrating.

Out of the blue, my little boy (almost 2 and a half) asked to use the toilet. This is after having no luck with getting him to wee or poo in a potty! I was totally in shock and quickly got the little trainer seat I had for the toilet and plonked him on it. He then told me to shut the door (obviously likes his privacy). From outside the door, I heard a plop and couldn't believe it.
I'd had my little nephew (almost 9 yrs) staying with me and my little boy was following him everywhere and must have seen him using the loo. If you have any friends or family with older boys that they may look up to - then my advice is let them stay for a few days lol!! My little boy has been dry during the day for 2 days now with just one little accident. Am still putting a nappy on at night time tho.... good luck! x

finally daniel's started doing poos in his potty, still ocassionally goes in his pants, but more times than not he'll actually sit on his pooty and poop, you'v just gotta perserve with it and it'll happen, sad as it seems i was sooo happy the 1st time that he did it
