We have been trying to potty train our 3 1/2 granddaughter. She does pretty well with the pee, but bowel movements have not been successful. She says “the poopy doesn’t listen to her”. We can’t send her to preschool because you have to be fully potty trained.
Dear Dr. Gwenn:
My daughter is 3 ½ years old. I just spent the last year raising her alone while my husband was in Korea. Since we are a military family, our lives change every so often when it has to. Lately our daughter takes up to 3 hours to go to sleep, we have left her by herself and we have to take her back into her room at least 6 times. We’ve tried reading stories in her bed and staying in her room until she falls asleep. On occasion, she has lain in our bed for hours before falling asleep.
I have an active, happy and playful 15 month old son. His solid and liquid intake is good. He is not experiencing cold, fever or any allergy symptoms but he has eczema and is on hydrocortisone weekly for the past month. For the past weeks, he throws up at the most 5 times a week. It is all that he ate a moment ago covered with clear mucus.
