Poo on potty

Following as we are the same… he will do one on the potty at his grandparents house but not at ours?! I’m asking and encouraging but I don’t want to push…

My daughter was the same way so we introduced bigger rewards for pooping on the potty, let her play with a phone/tablet to get her to sit long enough, and kept her in underwear unless we left the house

I would say try to avoid nappies all together, I know it can get messy but they'll soon feel uncomfortable doing it in pants. I also found step-up with toddler toilet seat worked better than potty too. I read that toilet toys encouraged them to go on the toilet, now I never did this but what I did find when mine FINALLY started to go on the toilet was that he would grab a few toys before running to the bathroom and sit down with them, so I realised I probably should've tried that sooner. It takes a while, but you'll get there!

I put his potty facing out to our garden, I think there was too much pressure stopping him pooing. So I put it facing out and said can you see any cats? Birds? Planes? Etc. but I left the room and talked to him through from the other room as if I was busy doing something. And when I came back he must have felt relaxed enough to do a poo. And then I just gave him loads of praise which he loved

i deffo agree on the keeping them in pants rather than nappies or pull ups. also when my girl first started going on the toilet i used to close my eyes or turn my back so she wouldn’t feel pressured & i think that really helped as well!

Same here.. refuses to poo but is ok with all wees. As soon as he needs a poo he demands a nappy

My daughter is the opposite she will do a number 2 on the potty but doesn’t understand we do wee wee on it as well, I think she just doesn’t like to be in a dirty nappy?

My lo was wee trained by 18 months buy poos he always demanded a nappy. Made a huge fuss, would hold it for a day or two. We tried everything rewards tablet slow steps like doing a poo in nappy in the toilet then a hole in the nappy while sitting on the potty, literally everything. Till one day I just told him we are out of nappies and he just had to either do it in his pants or on the floor or the potty. I gave him lots of fiber and a ton of water that day and when he needed to go he had a huge meltdown. I just comforted him and said it's okay if he wants to do it in his pants. Mum is here. But we have no nappy. Gentle but set a boundary. I asked if he would like to try a potty if it happens it happens if not it's okay but to just try. He agreed to try. I sat him down gave him a straw and cup of water to blow bubbles in (I read somewhere it helps) and left the room but kept talking to him. To my suprise he did a poo in tbe potty. He was more happy than I was. Like he didn't bkv he couldn't do it.

He was 22 months then and since that day we have not gone back to nappies.

This is the opposite for me my daughter is doing 💩 in the toilet but number 1 it will go on the floor😭
