DD will only poo in knickers/nappy

[phoebechicken]

It looks like DD (2y9m) has joined all the other LOs that refuse to poo in the loo or potty!
I was just wondering how other people deal with this? Do you keep them in pants and just deal with the accidents until they're ready to use the loo every time? Do you put a pull-up on them if you think they're due to poo (DD does tend to go at the same time every day but refuses to let me help her onto the potty/loo so I have given up trying as I don't want to make this any more stressful for her). Or do you go back to nappies full time until they're ready to use the loo for wees AND poos (I'd rather not do this because she has done so well wee-wise!)
Also, what do you do when you go out and there's a chance they might poo? Do you put them in a pull-up/nappy or just brave it and take a change of clothes?
Thanks in advance!

hi, i used to be a nursery nurse and worked with a lot of children at potty training age, unfortunatly my ds is only 10 months so i have no actual experiance with my own child. this is a very common problem, and the theory says that children who wee on the potty really well and dont want to poo are usually worried or scared of pooing on the potty/toilet. i've read somewhere that they are worried about where the poo is going, and that they are scared they will go down the loo with it. there are a few things you can do to help your dd that seem to work quite well, and you are absolutly right not to push her too much. the first thing you can do is try to encourage her (slowly) to stand near the potty when you know she's doing a poo in her nappy, you can then move this on to sitting on the potty with her nappy on while she's going. eventually you can try laying a nappy in the potty then taking the nappy away when she's more confident. you might also want to put the poo in the potty to show her where they should go esp when she poo's in her knickers. also, this might sound gross, but its supposed to work, maybe you could let her watch you on the loo, so she can see that there's nothing to worry about. in my experiance pull up nappies only confuse children, and colourful training pants are much better as you can convince her they are knickers. sorry for the really long post! i hope this helps.
