Potty training

I have a 3 year old who is freshly potty trained. He goes pee on the potty just fine, picked it up within 2 weeks. But he refuses to poop on the potty unless he’s naked. If he isn’t wearing any type of underwear/pants/pull up he will poop on the potty no problem. But if he is wearing anything he will go hide in a corner somewhere and just poop his pants. My daughter when she potty trained just waited til night and would poop in her pull up once we put it on but she finally stopped about 6 months after potty training. She won’t wipe her own butt even though she’s 4 (whole other issue I have). But what are some good ways to get my son to poop on the potty??

Leave him pooping without clothes for 1 more day just to get him comfortable. And tell him “we are now gonna go poopy with your clothes now” and show him something fun like a chart with stickers. Tell him if he goes poopy in potty he gets a sticker of his choice and a treat. Clap every time he poops and show excitement. Show him potty books and keep showing him potty shows. You got this mama!! My daughter is 3 and turning 4 years in march. She still doesn’t wipe on her own. So don’t worry, you’re not the only one ❤️.

My son learned pee in 2 weeks, but only pooped a few times. He's refusing. I haven't pushed it at all as we just do pull ups. It's super annoying bc I want to switch to underwear. He's also starting to get lazy peeing now too. Ugh

@Sarah I was always told to skip the pull up’s and go straight to underwear as the pull up confuses them. So that’s what I have done minus nap/bed time as I live in an apartment and can’t wash bed sheets/blankets daily. But I want to get my kids bed time trained as I’m tired of pull ups all together.

@Tiffany dr said it's totally normally for nighttime pull ups for a long time yet. I did the pull up method and it worked in 2 weeks. The naked method didn't work and stressed me out. The underwear don't contain pee at all. I tried the underwear and now my chair got peed on. I have no patience for that lol. He knows what to do in the pull up. Did it a long time no problem. And if we were ever anywhere without a bathroom I didn't have to stress haha he's been extra lately and he's having a rebellion to potty training. It must be a regression. He has a little sister now. I re bought some targets so I'm waiting for them. He loved to put them in the toilet to pee. The poop, forget it. He would just poop in underwear as well. And that's a massive cleanup. He pooped a few times. One time to get a toy off a commercial lol but mostly will not poop in toilet. I'm so over it tbh.
