No 2s in cot… multiple times

Child is nearly 2.5, very scared of potty. Still wears nappies every day and for naps. Put them down to nap between 6-7 hours after waking (11-12hrs overnight straight through). Doesn’t sleep but instead does a poo, I go in to change it, then I leave, and does another poo. Has maxed 3 poos before I give up on nap. Any advice?? (Edit: have slept in room with a couple of times because I’ve been tired and need the sleep and they sleep as well very quickly with no poo)

2.5 is on the older side to be napping, in a cot and have not started potty training. Maybe it’s just time to start moving onto the next stage of these one at a time.

I would imagine they are ready to drop their nap, you can leave them in there to have quiet tone if they are happy and awake!
