[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 256924, member: 1991"] I discovered the holding the knees up thing with difficult child 1 when he was a baby. I found it when I was changing his nappy, and I was holding his knees up onto his tummy so I could clean him up, and found he would keep on "producing". So once I learned this, I would kep him in that position and try to catch it all so I only had one dirty nappy (that one) a day. Later (and I don't think there is a connection) he was a terrible problem about pooping. He wouldn't do it in his nappy and he wouldn't do it in the potty. It was as if he had decided he wasn't ever going to do it again, he didn't need to if he decided he didn't want to. Trouble is, it doesn't work tat way. There are a lot of things you can give a kid to soften the stool, just don't tell the kid what it's for. I didn't think apple juice was particularly effective. prunes & prune juice are great (and I'm sure if you leave abowl of pitted prunes around, righht out of the packet, the kids will pinch them and you will have the desired effect). Also try stonefruit, fresh. Cherries, plums, apricots. Oranges do it for some people, although never for me. My boss used to watch me in horror while I cut up and ate four or five oranges at one sitting. He said that simply sniffing an orange would have him "on the run". Hey, whatever works. Marg [/QUOTE]
