pooh in the bath - again

DD is 3 in December. She potty trained 6 months ago, then got bored after a month or so and just wandered around weeing herself and not telling me, sitting on me, bed, furniture leaving little puddles around the house etc. (She doesn't have a UTI, the novelty has just worn off). I put her back in nappies coz I was going nuts, then she started poohing in the nappies (she's not poohed in her nappies since 18 months). Now for the last 3 days she's poohed in the bath; she didn't even pooh in the bath when she was a baby! I don't think this is a potty training issue - I think it's a behavioural thing. Any ideas?

It could also just be a tummy bug.
Try bathing her 15 minutes earlier so if it's because she needs a poo, then if her body usually tells her to do a poo at a set time, bathing her earlier might work.

Just simply saying something like "dd if you wait until you get out of the bath to do your poo in the potty/on the loo, that would be great and then mummy can read you your story" might also work. so she might then think "poo after bath=story"

Might not work at all but that's what I would try first.
