We are slowly trying to potty learn over here, dd is 19 months.
A few months back, maybe two, we decided to go diaper free at home. There was a lot of mess but then she started going in the potty every time. She hasnt had a pee accident in a few weeks. But, we were using the diapers for all sleeping, naps and night, and when we went out.
She has only gone poop in the potty a handful of times. and it was only in the beginning. She hasnt pooped in the potty in over a month. So, it was not really a problem, because we would usually just poop after a nap or something, and it would be fine. Or she would poop on the floor.
But the past two weeks, she has stopped going on the floor and we have stopped using the diapers for sleeping. But she has also pretty much stopped pooping! She went once four days without going! Finally I put her in a diaper for an hour or so and she went. Or she poops when we go out in a diaper after a few days. Shes usually very regular.
Also, she has been saying "poopoo" (which she says for both pee and poo) and then will sit on the potty for 2 seconds and then say all done, not having done anything. She was do this many times during the day, whereas she used to only say it when she had to pee. So we are constantly in the bathroom and shes constantly not pooping.
Also, when we get to be every night, she always says she has to poo, but then never does.
Any ideas? I wanted to start doing diaper free when we go out, but then she would never poop!
Thanks in advance

I feel very frustrated as well.
) What position does she usually poop in? It might be that she can't figure out how to get it out while sitting because she's used to standing or crouching. If that's the case, you could try having her poop in the tub, or put the potty in the tub and let her stand over it (so most would go in the potty but overspill wouldn't be a problem).
