To throw DD(2) knickers away when she has an accident?

That's it in a nutshell.

She's 2 and 4 months, she initiated potty training a month ago so we went with it and she is broadly dry. However she has stopped doing poos on the potty and is doing them in her knickers 🤢

She seems to wait to do an enormous poo and it's often quite soft (she eats a lot of fruit) and it goes everywhere 🤢

I'm honestly sick of scooping sh*t out of tiny little knickers and then them still coming out stained from the wash. The pair today I put in a nappy bag, poo and all, and binned.

NB we do put her on potty routinely (going out potty, coming home potty, after dinner potty) but her poos have lost all routine (maybe she's withholding?!).

Am I being unreasonable?!!! And any advice?!!

Yeah just get loads of cheap plain ones and throw them away if they're unsalvageable.

Not at all unreasonable. I've done the same.
Sometimes they are just not salvageable.

Poos are usually the last part of potty training so don't despair. She's probably almost there.

I nearly always binned poo pants when they happened. Didn't happen very often so was happy to sacrifice them.
