One of my dck will be 4 next month but he's developmentally delayed. His mind is that of an almost 3 year old, rather than almost 4.
With that being said, he potty trained about 5 months ago. The past few weeks he had a rash right by his anus that the doctors think was either a food reaction or infection. Regardless, this caused major potty issues because it hurt for him to go (obviously-poor guy). He kept holding it in and they had an X ray done that showed all of the poop that was stuck inside. At home they've been doing prune juice and laxatives to get that out of his system.
Now, the rash is finally gone as of this weekend. But in his mind, it's still going to hurt to poop, so he's holding it in still. At first, at the beginning of the rash, he'd get 'skid marks' on the undies but today he actually pooped in in pants, despite his best efforts to hold it in. When I put him on the potty he screams because he's afraid it'll hurt still
any advice? I want to put him back in a pull up because obviously this is messy but I don't want him to regress further (he's still fine with peeing in the potty)
Thanks!
