Passing poo can be scary for some children causing them to withhold.

When they withhold, they use their bottom muscles to stop themselves from having a bowel movement when they feel the urge to go.

Why else could your child be withholding?

💩 An illness such as a virus, with a high temperature and sickness that can lead to dehydration. Dry poo is harder to push out and will hurt more.

💩 Passing a bigger than normal poo (known as a mega poo) can make a small tear in a child’s bottom called an a**l fissure. This can make pooing very painful and something they want to avoid doing again.

💩 A change in routine and using a different toilet away from home at nursery or school for example.

💩 Lots of children would prefer not to poo at school and then become constipated as a result.

Does this sound like your child? Find more guidance on stool withholding on the ERIC website.
