Specializes in Pediatrics

Process: Applesauce actually causes constipation. Try Apple juice or prune juice instead. Also increase his fluid intake and keep regular mealtimes. Frequently a potty training child will withhold the poop on purpose due to fear or a feeling of powerlessness. Talk to your Pediatrician to come up with a game plan. Keep the potty sessions positive and rewarding and be patient.
