will not poo on the potty or toilet!!

looking for tips to get my 2 year old to poo on the potty or the toilet,he took to having wees on both very quickly. We cannot get him to go on the potty or the toilet,he will hold it in for days at a time and will shout until he has a nappy on then he will have a poo straightway.I have tried leaving pants off as with pants on he will sometimes have a poo in his pants and I put him onto the potty or the toilet but he will just stop going! I have been trying for weeks with rewards toys and chocolate buttons and charts.I have no idea what to do now lol I have tried getting him to wear a nappy whilst sitting on the toilet or the potty but he will not do this! has anyone got any suggestions?

I’d like some tips too 😂 we’re the same as you with him using the potty or toilet for wees but will only poo first thing in the morning just after he wakes up 🙄

Poo’s took longer for us too, but my daughter is doing so much better with them now (we are about 2 months in now and this has changed in the last week) For us I figured it was a privacy thing as prior to potty training when she was in nappies she would have to go and hide to have a poo in her nappy, so when I could tell she was needing to go I would encourage her to have it on the potty and put it somewhere hidden away and say “Mummy go away” and leave her to it. Also when she did have accidents I would ask her “where does mummy have a poo” which she would answer “toilet” just lots of active encouragement really. My daughter gets so excited by fairs and rides too and there happened to be one on locally so I used that as a reward for if she had a poo on the potty. I think they are possibly abit freaked out when they first see their poo after having their nappy changed all their life that it just takes them time to get used to it! Xx

We are the same one of my twins does it in his undies it’s been 3 months now and he is always dry but poos won’t go not sure what to do
