How to handle this?

My 2.6yo has been potty trained - led entirely by her - for a few months. Wee was fine very quickly but she hated pooing on the potty. Even when in nappies she'd get upset sometimes when doing a poo but going on the potty took it a whole new level and withholding for days on end. With the help of lactulose, chocolate buttons and a lot of patience we made good progress and though it still caused uoset, she was doing a softish poo on the potty each day.

Then a week ago she woke up with a massive poo in her nappy. And since then she's done a poo most nap times and also overnight. Basically whenever she's got a nappy on. In the past when it was clear she needed to go I'd offered her a nappy but she always said no.

Anyway, how do I handle this, given she's already 'sensitive' about pooing? I'm inclined to ignore altogether, though I'm pretty sure she's making a conscious decision to go in the nappy. DH thinks we should be reminding her that poos are for the potty. I think it's better than her witholding and she'll grow out of it.

Thoughts?!

Ps. I've stopped giving lactulose in case that was just making them too soft for her to hold, though they didn't seem it.

Totally normal to use a nappy to poo, just let her do it.
You can flush to poo down the toilet if you want but honestly the phase will pass in a year or two on its own.
