My DD has been having some issues with the pooping part of potty training... She seems to be holding it in ( i have even caught her doing this and she claims that she doesnt want to poop. when I ask her why she just says I dont know.) and she ends up with small amounts of poop in her underwear. this happens about 10 times a day! Some days she doesnt do a full poop at all she just does this all day. It is so frustrating I am about to lose it! This is a regression...she was fully potty trained for a month and this wasnt happening before the regression. Im so lost! any help?

Hmmm...sorry that I don't have any advice to offer.
My DD did do something similar though. For awhile we still were putting a diaper on her for naptime. So every day like clockwork she would poop at nap time (in the diaper) in order to avoid going on the toilet.

Not sure why but she eventually got over it and we didn't have to do anything special. We just made a really big exciting deal about it everytime she did go in the toilet.

Hope you find a solution.
