Advice needed on potty training

[Hayley9192]

Hi my 2.5year old is very constipated on daily movicol for the last 6months and for the foreseeable. How do I go about potty training? Do I leave it until shes having more regular bowel movements or do I just try it? She can go 4+ days without a poo and then have days where shes trying all day to go. I dont no what to do I feel she is ready but dont want to make things worse with her bowels?

How much movicol is she on? i wouldnt worry about potty training for now, get the poos sorted first.

At the minute shes on 4 sachets daily

have you disimpacted her? Also adding a stimulant to the regime will help things.

2.5 years is still pretty young but if you think she’s showing signs of wanting to toilet train, start by leaving the potty around and see if she catches on. No stress if she’s doesn’t there’s plenty of time.
