Keira just hit 3 and a half years old and she is still pooping in her pants.

I've tried everything I can think of, take the pullups away, bribes with toys, candy. Make her sit in time out. I just don't know what to do.

She pees in the potty, sometimes she wets her pants, but its when she's sleeping.

That's Keira's biggest problem with pooping, she only does it at nap or bedtime. At nap time she probably isn't sleeping, but we're not in there to watch her. Please, someone help me. :cursing:
 
I'm sorry to say I have no good advice other than be patient and she'll get it down...I totally understand though...My son refused potty training and wore pull ups up until 7 months ago (he just turned 4 Saturday)...I was lucky because he just decided one day he was ready to go and he's gone peepee and poopy on the toliet ever since with maybe a handful of accidents...Good luck I remember those yucky pull ups like it was yesterday...
 
Thanks, at least that gives me some hope.

I'm starting to think that my 8 month old will potty train before her.
 
Dude, I have NO advice because K still isn't trained, and she's 3. She does everything in her underwear and it doesn't even bother her. I really wonder if Noah will train before she finishes, I swear. I wish I could be more help, but at least you're not alone!
 
Rae did the same thing for months after she was pee trained, finally one day, she just stopped. It drove me nuts because my other two didn't do it. We tried everything too, but it didn't work.
 
I have no real advice just know that she will do it eventually. My boys were both four before they had it down completely and my daughter was 2. I think the peeing was harder then the bowel movements because theey would only have one or two a day tops but they peed alot and I could tell when they were having a bowel movement but not urinating. Only real suggestion I have is to place her on the toilet every 30 minutes until she starts getting it and then when she does have an accident to take her and the panties into the bathroom explain that she does that on the toilet and dump the poo in and flush so she sees that everytime. It will click eventually.
 
Both my boys were around 4 before they were trained and I made the mistake of making it a big issue with DS1, so he'd refuse to go and eventually got so constipated he stretched his bowel out and is still on laxitives 2 years later.

We just let DS2 get on with it in his own time. We sat him on the potty every 2 hours and immediately when he woke up and after he pooped in it a few times (through the luck of the timing) he seemed to get the hang of it
 
For sure just be patient (although it can be SO difficult), and wait it out. My son was not totally trained until he was going on 4 1/2!!! He just took forever with the accidents...especially at bed time. The fact is, they will not be going to school in diapers...they've gotta learn sometimes, and each kidlet is different ;)
 
I remember going into my dd's 3 year checkup and she still wasn't potty trained. the Dr. was pretty upset with me (like I hadn't been trying ... I was ready to give up trying!), so she said put her in underwear and don't EVER go back to pull-ups. She is ready, it is just a "will" thing. Soooooo, I did as the Dr. suggested, expecting to have major clean ups all the time. You know what? We never had an issue again. I think it was the fact that the Dr. said to keep my dd in underwear, that she knew she couldn't get away with going in pullups anymore. Maybe make an appointment with your Dr.?

I feel your frustration!
