Potty Training

Help - Pooping on the Potty

DS and DD have been potty trained since they were about 2 1/2 in August. It was a pretty quick process, with few accidents.  However, DD will not poop in the potty. At first, she would, but she was totally freaked out by it and started going much less frequently. She never had a pooping accident, would just hold it in.  After she was pee trained for a couple weeks she started waking up in the night (we kept her in a pull-up) to pee and would be totally dry in the morning. Then she started getting really stressed out at nap time and bed time, and poops became a lot less frequent...she wouldn't poop in her pull-up. It became obvious that she was having sleep issues because was worried she would pee or poop while asleep, and she was becoming completely constipated. So, finally, I told her that even though she needs to pee and poop on the potty, if she really needs too, it's okay if she poops in her pull-up.  She has only pooped on the potty a handful of times since then, and will only poop in her pull-up.  We have tried books, she sees her brother go in the potty, we also give her fiber gummies and tons of fruit too make sure she's not constipated.  Any suggestions?!
