Potty Training - Poo help!

My LO almost 3 is 70% potty trained, we’re all good with wees and being outside and informing me when she needs to go. BUT we can’t shift doing poos in her pull ups. My LO always hates pooing on her potty or adult toilet. Even if I tell her no pull ups she’ll hold in her poo and I don’t want her constipated. So I give in - after her poo in nappy it’s back in pants. How did you get your LO to poo in the toilet??? I just feel like I’m going backwards everytime I put a pull up on her.

Unfortunately, we are in exactly the same situation. She has big opinions and is stubborn. It took us 8 months of her being able to walk to get shoes on her feet without a meltdown.

Took my little boy a while to do his first poo on the potty.. when he kept telling me he needs a poo I just kept saying to him shall we sit on the toilet and try and he say yeah, one day he just finally did it. Just got to give your little one time

Eric is a good website for help on potty training. Otherwise you could let her poo in her pull up when she needs to poo sit her on the potty remove the pull up while on the potty open it and let her see the poo keep doing that and hopefully she’ll associate going on the potty for a poo.

My lg 💩 her knickers for about 4 months and then just stopped and started doing them on the toilet or potty. Everyone says it will come eventually so I just left her to it until she was ready

I've seen somewhere on the Internet an advice from a pediatrician that when the child is having his first poo in the potty, we must celebrate it 🤣 so that I've done, called her father to tell him, called her grandparents, I've danced, clapped, rewarded with a chocolate, it was the biggest thing she ever done 😂 (we had constipation problems so I'm kind of traumatised to not go back to that) with my exaggeration she felt so proud of her achievement that she had the second one in the evening just to show her father her big poo 🤣🤣 of course he also made a big thing. This worked well as she hasn't had any accidents, even for gas she will go on the potty with the hope it is a poo 🤣🤣 maybe this would wo3for you when yours decides to have the first one in the potty.
