A happy update.
After being totally defeated and lots of tears from all of us, we've had a break through that has been going on over a week now.
The softening from the (8!) Movicol plus the Senna making it come and it's just seemed to click that it doesn't hurt, or if it does hurt, its better to hurt for a moment than hurt constantly. They just woke up one day with the tummy ache and I said 'you know what will make it better' and they said 'ok' and went. They've gone since. At Nanny's house, at playgroup, at Mummy's work - miraculous! They said after a few days, 'Thank you for teaching me how to Poo Mummy'![Broken heart :broken_heart: đ](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f494.png)
They are trying to go every time they wee which actually may be a little too much but I'll not complain because it often comes. Next step is to figure out the maintenance Movicol dose, we're currently on 2 child sachets which seems to keep it pain free and will continue this until it just becomes second nature but I think we can drop to one. It's still quite a novelty that warrants everyone having to have a look, big cuddles and praise, even phoning Nanny or Auntie's and Uncles to tell them, I'm hoping it just gradually becomes part of life but as long as they're going, I don't care.
I feel like I've got my happy child back and realising only more how miserable and lethargic they'd been.
I hope everyone else is moving toward a solution x
