I know how all of you feel. My oldest daughter turn 4 on July 2nd. She has had problems going poop since she was born.
But at the age of 21 months I started potty training her which took what seemed to be for ever. She was finally trained pee wise at 29 months. But she still isn't Poppy trained. Even though she's in pantie's she still poops in them. She has pooped on the potty a few times. An her daddy an I praise her very well. But then she poops in her pantie's again. I've talked to her Dr an he says when she's ready it will click. An she will be trained. He says that her having presistent constipation is her biggest problem. That all she knows is that it hurts to go an that she is still scared. An that she can control her poppy if she is in a pull up or in her pantie's. Because she uses her feet to push on the floor. And it helps her go. One day she will get it I hope. But I have another daughter that turned 3 on June 26 she is fully train even at night. She even goes to the bathroom an tries to help her sister by reading to her or just talking to her. So my advice to everyone is keep tring an one day they will succeed. We parents just have to learn to have patients. Because our moms an dads went through the same thing with us. AN that's what my mom tells me everytime I talk to her about my daughter. But she says I was easy to train like my 3 year old was. I also have a son that will be 2 in September. So I'm tring him out now but he's not ready yet. I pray that he will be as easy as my 3 year old daughter. Wish me luck an to everyone out there in the same boat Good Luck.

I have nothing comforting to say. I am a teacher, so "teaching" is supposed to be easy for me right? Well... why is potty training so difficult? I worked at a daycare when I was 18 and 19 and potty trained other people's children, so why can't I get mine to go potty? He will pee if I catch him, but otherwise, he doesn't seem to care that he peed or pooped his underwear. He is almost three and a half. He has been wearing pull ups for quite some time, however, we recently began wearing underwear with plastic underwear on top. He knows it is wrong to pee and poop in his underwear. You can tell when you look at him afterwards, but I don't know if he can "feel" when he needs to go or not. I am very frustrated. I am sorry I don't have any good advice for you. I cannot help. But feel some comfort in knowing that you are not alone.

My son is 3 and a typical morning pooper since I can remember. Today we had a break through with him. He started to poop in his kiddie pool. He normally only tells us after he has gone poop. We placed the potty chair in the back yard and got pretty upset at him for pooping in the pool. We told him he had to sit there and could only look at his pool until he was finished pooping. He did it. He pooped again later in the night when I figured he it was a warning sign. I threated to take all this toys out of his room for a week. He responded by going poop again. I guess I never tried traking things away from him before thinking it would be a set back, but in this case my stubborn 3 year old found honesty in what I told him.

I wish I had something helpful to say but I just have the same problem. You are NOT alone girl. My son is 3 and has been "potty" trained since his 3rd birthday 6 months ago. He has absolutely no problems going pee in the potty, even at night, but going poo is a different story. In the whole 6 months he has gone poo in the potty only once for me. Every other time, it's in his underwear. I am so frustrated and running out of things to try, and I have tried EVERYTHING! I've tried begging, I've tried telling him that he can get a new matchbox car, or candy, I've tried getting him really cool transformer underwear that he loves and telling him that he can't poo on the transformers, I've tried just sitting him on the potty, I've tried seats that go on the potty, I've tried portable seats, I've tried giving him books to read and toys to play with while he sits there, I've tried punishing him and sending him to his room, I've tried telling him it's ok. I mean, what else is there to try? It's just ridiculous. He doesn't care and I don't know what to do about it. I feel like it's never going to end.

My son will be 5 in September 08 and he will go pee in the toilet without a problem. However, when it comes to taking a poo, he runs to his bedroom or goes outside and hides while he goes. This is getting to be ridiculous. I've been attempting to potty train him since he was 3 and still no luck. With him, I really feel that its a matter of control. He likes to act like he's in charge and in a sense it almost seems like this is the one area in which he can control the outcomes.

I give you props for not getting upset with your son, I do. It's like I feel like my son will never learn. He knows what he's supposed to do, but the whole motivation for him to do it isn't there.

Not sure if you get this, but I am so sick of hearing, "well, he's a boy and it usually takes them longer." Every time I hear that phrase I want to scream. My oldest son was potty trained at 34 months...so what gives with the younger one?

My 4 yo (almost 5) son does the same thing, except he was completely potty trained about a year ago, but just recently started wetting and pooping in his underwear at daycare. We have had to put him back in pull-ups full time

Poop in underwear

Feb 18, 2008 7:39 PM
My son just turned 4 a month ago. He potty trained for pee about 3 weeks ago and pretty much never pees in his underpants. He wears a diaper to sleep but wakes dry and immediately pees on the potty. The problem we are having is when he poops, EVERYTIME he does so in his underpants (about once a day). How can I get him to either poop on the potty or ask for a diaper so he can at least poop in the diaper? I don't get upset with him of coarse and we just clean him up but it's obviously nasty. There are no warning signs he has to poop either, he just poops and then tells me to change him.
