Toddler refusing to poo!

I have been potty training for the last 4 days and in that time my daughter hasn't done a poo. I'm beginning to stress that she will end up very constipated - she's doing so well with staying dry and using the potty for wees that I dont want to just give up and put a nappy on her but I also don't want her to get ill. She does have a nappy on for bedtimes but even then she isn't pooing.

How often did she poo before you started training? How’s her diet? Don’t put a nappy back on!

She was doing 1 poo a day before we started potty training, she has a balanced diet but just doesn't eat a huge amount (but never has no it's not new).

Do u have a potty in the lounge when she playing, watching tv etc? Ie. A relaxed environment ?

Recommend the ERIC website / helpline
They have loads of resources and advice on there

We do have a potty in the living room, we also have a stool and toddler seat in the bathroom but she's not tall enough to use that yet so it's very relaxed and she can sit for as long as she wants with no pressure.
