Hey everyone!
We are after some advice with regards to disimpaction with our 3 year old please. Today we are working towards 8 satchets… he has had a lot of loose stools in the last 24 hours. I would confidently say they are type 6 on the stool chart… but we have had a few toilet trips and I’m not quite sure if they would be classed as type 7 watery brown or not. From listening to the podcast it says when they reach that stage you will know, but I just don’t know… And although I know it is completely safe I don’t want him to be stuck in this phase for any longer than he needs to be. Any advice?
Also, I feel he is struggling with the quantity of liquid we are asking him to drink. He hardly wants any after having his satchets and I know they don’t class towards his daily amount so any suggestions on how to get him to drink more would be super helpful please. We are using a reward chart and have been praising him loads but as the dose increases I can see him drinking less of his normal water as we go…
Thank you so much in advance!
