A misadventure in potty training!

June 5, 2008

Ashton's facial expression tells it all

I have one constant problem with Ashton and that is constipation problem. He can constipate for 3 to 4 days. I tried giving him lots of fruits but he dislikes fruits now, in particular papaya.

Recently, he has had very bad constipation again after recovering from a long fever of 8 days and some relatives of mine recommended me some kind of pump-like stuff that could be use on little children to relieve constipation. It is really very effective. Once you pump the liquid into his anus, he will poo within the next few minutes. I thought it will be a good chance for me to potty train Ashton and coax him to sit on the potty. He refused and cried all the way while he poo. In the end, I have got to clean up the mess, with his poo all over the floor in the bathroom. What a good way to start my early morning.

I was wondering if anyone has any good suggestion on how to solve constipation problems of a toddler who dislike fruits and also if anyone has any suggestion on how to potty train toddler to poo?

My son Jason shares the same problem as Ashton. I have also tried many methods and failed. In the end, i search through the internet for solutions and found a product called Potty Training Secrets Exposed. I follow the step by step instructions religiously and yes, my son is finally potty trained.
