If you have one of those potty seats to that you put on the toilet (to make it more their size lol) flip it backwards, sit her backwards, and give her a dry erase marker and let her draw on the lid of the toilet. We did this with my step son to get him used to the "big boy potty" and it worked quite well. Just make sure she doesn't wanna let them go for a swim in the toilet 😂 it kept my step son distracted long enough to get used to sitting on the potty. We also had to sit with him and hold his legs for a while while he was trying to poo for a bit, just so he knew he was safe and we weren't gunna let him fall in lol.
Helping toddler poo on potty?
My toddler has been weeing in the potty consistently (aside from the odd accident when she's super distracted/busy 🙊) for a couple weeks now, but she is yet to do a poo in the potty. We take her when we think she needs to do a poo, ie farting, right time of day, when she says "poopie", but she either doesn't have the patience to sit on the potty long enough to poo or when she gets close to doing one she gets upset and wants to get off. Either way, she ends up with a poo in her underwear less than a minute later 🤦🏼♀️
I'm being patient with her and encouraging her as much as possible, trying to keep her distracted on the potty with stories or songs, showing her how I do poos on the toilet even 😂 but I'm wondering if anybody has any other tips or tricks I could use to try and get her pooping on the potty? I feel like all it's going to take is one or two times of her successfully going on the potty and it will click for her!

It might seem harsh but my daughter was in the same place. Would pee all day, wore underwear, but couldn’t get her to poop. So I told her after about a month of this. That I wasn’t cleaning her poop anymore 😆 so when she did poop in her underwear she would have to clean it up. Now she knew what she was doing and she understood that she was supposed to poop in the potty. When it happened we would go in the bathroom. I would make her taker her own underwear off. Flush her poop down the potty and then put her in the tub to clean herself up. Of course I’m there the whole time making sure it doesn’t go disastrously. But she hated it and three says of this routine when she pooped in her underwear and she finally started going in the potty. No accidents since then.
Pooping takes a lot of time to get use to doing in the potty, my 2.5 year old actually tryed for the first time to poop on the potty but when the first bit came out and hit the water it freaked her out so she got up and pooped on the floor and cried cause she was embarrassed that she didn’t go on the potty like mommy does but today I’m going to try and get her to try again but with a coffee filter in the potty so it doesn’t splash her or make a loud sound
