My two year old keeps pooping during nap time and then doesn’t sleep, stays up hollering and then starts digging around and we go get her before she can make a mess. Only happens at home. She doesn’t poop at daycare, only feels comfortable at home I guess. We are introducing potty training and we take her to potty before and ask her if she needs to go but she doesn’t and then goes in her diaper as soon as we put her down.

hmm, that sounds super frustrating, maybe she just needs a little more time to get used to the idea of potty training at home?
I actually checked the 'Heal Baby Care App' for this and here's what it says:
"It sounds like your daughter may be experiencing some anxiety or discomfort related to pooping during nap time, especially since she feels more secure at home. One approach is to establish a consistent pre-nap routine that includes a relaxed time on the potty, allowing her to feel more comfortable and secure. You might also consider using pull-ups during nap time to help her feel more like she’s in underwear while still being protected from messes.
Have you noticed any patterns in her eating or drinking habits before nap time that might contribute to this?"
