Potty training and poo

My daughter has been doing amazing with wee for potty training after a rocky start. I’m really struggling with poo, she is reluctant to poo in her nappy and completely refuses to poo on the toilet or potty. It’s so bad to the point we are on 2 movicol sachets a day and she still holds it in! It’s not unusual for her to poo once every 4 days. If we increase the movicol it’s too much for her and gets diarrhoea. Anyone have any tips or advice?

You could try this! I’ve read increasing their fat intake can help them go, so spreading coconut oil and peanut butter on toast, coconut milk in smoothies or just avocado can supposedly help as it makes it softer and easier for them to go. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoVbe4DugH2/?igsh=MXV3cm81NjVzNjN0eQ==

A friend gave her daughter a shit of olive oil and that really did the trick Also, maybe creating a visualisation that you can tell as a story for her to understand why she needs to go often. How it works in her body. Maybe even ask chatgpt to create a little life lesson story for her. Short one. That you can read, memorise and tell her....

She seems to hold it, even with the laxatives. Sorry for the to much info but she holds it so long it starts to leak. It’s a fairly wet poo so it’s not as if it’s solid and hard to pass. Just at a bit of a loss on where to go. We have tried going through a list of her favourite people and saying they have a poo on the toilet every day, tried reassurance, she is on laxatives, we have tried stories. I’m trying really hard not to make it a big thing but so hard when we get to day 4 and she hasn’t been
