I am at my wits end with two of my dck’s and I’m not sure what to do. Both will turn three next month, and neither of them are potty trained. The first one, dcb, has been holding his poop in for months. Maybe even a year. They give him miralax, prune juice on a daily basis and have even done suppositories. Nothing helps him be regular. He will hold it in for days at a time, only going just a small amount several times a day until he can’t hold it in anymore. Then he cries and cries until he finally passes it.
In the past two months, dcg is starting to do the same. Hold it in, only letting a small amount pass each time. Between the two of them, I’m changing dirty diapers at least 4x a day on both of them. It’s ridiculous, and I’m frustrated. They should be potty training now, and dcb’s parents seem to want him to be and work with him at home. DCG’s parents seem to care less about it and don’t seem to be working with her at home. I do sit her on the toilet but she never goes. Dcb will go for me if I sit him on it, but he never fully cleans himself out there. Just enough to not be so backed up.
I’ve tried telling their parents this isn’t okay. Something is wrong. For dcb, this issue has been going on long enough that something really needs to be done. Dcg’s Parents honestly don’t seem too concerned. I tried telling them she needs miralax or some probiotics or something. Both of them have horrible diets. They eat crap. The boy barely eats enough to keep himself alive, and what they do send with him to eat (I don’t provide lunch) is mostly pasta- lots of those microwaveable meals. With dcg, it’s the same. Lots of spaghetti o’s and lunchables. For breakfast and snack, I always try to feed healthy to make up for it. And I give them both lots of fresh fruit to help. But it’s not.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I don’t know I can keep doing this much longer. Changing 3-4 poppy diapers a day on both of them is taking a toll on me, and them!
