Pooping Madness :/ ?!

Okaii so as youu all know, my daughter will be 4 in 2 and a half months. She has been potty trained since she was 2 and a half without an "accident" after 2 months of being potty trained. So here is the point where I'm going a little crazy.

Over the past 3 nights, she has woken us up to tell us that she has pooped her pants. So I drag myself out of bed (like any Mom out there would), put her in the shower, I clean the mess of the bed, and wait for her to get back out of the shower so I can get her back into Jammies and into bed.

The first night I felt horrible for her, but now this is starting to get a little ridiculous .. are there any tips that anyone has for me that doesn't involve resulting back to diapers or pull-ups?

Don't know if you're still having this problem? My son used to make himself sick so that I HAD to go deal with it and he got attention in the middle of the night. I was worried sick and went to my doctor. He confirmed that it was an attention seeking thing. All I was told to do was to go clean it up without uttering one word to him other than what I needed him to do - ie stand there. Pyjamas off. Back to bed. It took a week but it certainly stopped when he realised that I wasn't going in to comfort him (Once my mind had been put at rest that it wasn't a medical issue!) but just to deal with the mess. It was horrid and hard to do with his sleepy little face pleading for more cuddles. But I just said - mummy has given you a goodnight hug and I love you but now it's time for sleeping. Best of luck if you are still struggling with this! x

my 3 yr old has been doing the same thing but she does it during the day. With my daughter its because she wants more attention from me. and she has figured out that doing this will get my attention. She did this for about a week and a half, I started taking mommy/daughter time out of each day and she hasnt done it in 5 days. I hope this helps! Good Luck!
