I had the same problem with my eldest daughter. Don't force her into pooping in the potty because that can cause frustration. Let her figure it out on her own unless she starts to go anywhere, then you should put pull ups on her.

Have you tried rewarding her? If you get a posterboard you can pick out some stickers she really likes and let her put one on it each time she poops in the potty. Also, she may be a little scared of the potty (my cousin was). Her parents ended up taking the poopy diaper each time she went and let her watch them dump it into the toilet. Then they let her flush it. After a few times of doing that, she seemed to be more relaxed about it. They also would watch her closely when they knew it was about time for her to go and when she started showing the signs, they'd sit her on the potty. At first she held it, but after they started the above-mentioned sticker and dumping routines, she quickly caught on. I hope this helps!
Good luck!

I have a 3 yr old little girl who will not poop in the in the potty, she has no problem with going pee but she will hold it for days until it starts to hurt so I end up putting a pull-up on her so she can go. Please help me I don't know what to do!!!
