3 1/2 Yr Old Pooping in Pull up After New Sibling HELP!!!!

You actually answered your own question. She'll poop on the potty if she doesn't have a pull up on. My granddaughter is the same age and wears underwear only. No pull ups even if they are going to be running errands. Let's face it; pulls up are just diapers with a different name (and more expensive). She's 3 1/2 and has no need for diapers any more.

Make a big deal out of the stuff she can do that the baby can't. Poor baby can't use the potty. Poor baby can't use a fork to eat. Poor baby doesn't know her abcs or how to sing songs. If you refocus your daughter on all the wonderful things she can do that they baby is too little to know she'll feel proud of herself. Push all the positive reinforcement of her skills should help your daughter.

sounds like you answered your own question: She will poop in the pull up if given a chance...and she will poop on the potty if no pull-up. So if you want her to go on the potty, then dont give her pull ups anymore. What is the point to giving her them anyway if she goes on the potty without them? Some regression is normal when a younger sibling comes along. But still, I don't think she'll start pooping her pants without the pull -up, and even if she does at first, still no pull-up and she will give that up quick. Be done with the pull ups!! good luck

Get rid of the pull ups now. IMO pull ups are diapers.

I agree with the advice about taking away the pullups, but only if you can handle a mess for a short wile. The key here, though it's so so hard with a new baby, is to be really patient and positive. Regression is totally normal with a new sibling, even when mom does an amazing job of giving the older kiddo attention!

Don't make a huge thing out of it. Keep talking calmly, without judgement, and give tons of praise when she goes the way she's supposed to. Really frustrating, I know- because you already did all this potty training! But it'll be worth it. She'll get it together, and realize that being a big girl is still super cool!

mine did it too when little sis came, its normal. i just let it go for a while and one day he just stopped. if you can just let it alone for a while, i would.

Hi M., Very common, and it should straightn out. Just keep reminding her that she is the big girl. Your daughter is looking for more attention and "the Baby" gets more. By the way, congrats on your new arrival! I'm sure no one told you that motherhood was easy, so you were not lied to. My best, Grandma Mary

Hey, I know how you feel and i have 3 children. Twins-9(boy & girl and an 11 year old boy. My 9 yr old boy, within the past 2 years has been pooping on himeslf and it's become embarrasing and frustrating. Just recently, i told hime if he has an accident on himself use some wipes and change or throw away his underwear. So far it has been working well and to date, no complaints. I few months ago i would raise my voice at him, but now i realized a little patience can change things big time. As far as your 3 yr old, i suggest you give it some more time and dont pull your hair out yet, he's still a baby and accidents will happen.Try to keep the pull-up off so he/she become more independent. I know, trust me i know how frustrating it can be, especially with a new baby, but things will get better just be positive, and think positive. Hope all works out well and enjoy your Holiday!!!
