This sounds familiar!

I just want you to know I had the same experience with my oldest. I didn't get him to use the toilet for bm's until he was about 4! He was so "afraid" (for lack of a better word) that he would literally poop in his sleep! I got up to change pullups at 2-3 in the morning for 2 years! BUT, he did finally get over the hang-up.

At almost 11 years old now, he still doesn't poop very often - twice a week is about usual for him - but he is a vibrant, healthy child. I know we talked to our pediatrician about it at the time, but we didn't wind up needing to do anything special. I am seriously thinking of adding Acacia to his diet now that I've discovered it and it is so gentle to the tummy.

I hope your situation resolves soon. I just thought I'd let you know I have an infrequent pooper on my hands too, and he is thriving.
