I started potty training her at 18 months
then I stopped
cuz I had a mc and started again at 20 months
now she's 25 months she even tells when she wants to go pipis when we are at store
I carry some clorox wipes and a folding Winnie the pooh potty seat :)

oh good call on the potty! i had bought a potty to have around so she wouldnt be scared of it when it did come to potty training and it turned out everytime i put her on it she would poop... now that she is better i cant get her to poop on demand like that but its definitely worth a try... even just to get her going again! now my daughter goes and hides on the kitchen to poop... not sure when to start the potty process but it did help!!

My girl was the same way because she ate everything we ate
i ask the dr to change her vitamins to no iron and I started potty training
I think it makes it easy for them too poop
And it was easy for me to know when she was gonna go
Now she 25 months potty trained and don't get constipated

i would for sure talk to your Dr about this, can you think of any changes that may be affecting her? when did you switch to milk? any poopy foods like apricots are supposed to work wonders, cut up some prunes, definitley anything to get her to drink... i add a little juice to my daughters water so she drinks more as she went months with contipation issues and it was AWEFUL so i completely understand what your going thru... adding ground flax to her food is a good one too... my sister in law called them sprinkles for her son as he would hold his poop so he couldnt anymore after that and it worked... for my daughter it was before she turned 1 she was really bad so i did use the flax in all her food... which is good for them too! yep fruits and veggies are a plus... but keep a food diary to see if there is anything that stands out, if she does have an alergy then taaking out certain food and trialing how she handles that would be a good idea too... its so frustrating and cruel but for sure try the flax... it works and thats after i tried everything!!
