For poop withholding mom: we had similar issues with our first. Pee came easier than poop for our child. We ended up paying for the Jamie Glowacki Poop course which suggested using suppositories like Pedia-lax which is not a stimulant like Miralax, just a muscle relaxer. Our child was afraid of pooping since it felt different sitting on the potty and she was scared about it hurting. Turns out a clenched butt doesn’t help you poop! So after maybe 1-2 weeks using suppositories, she gained the confidence to just try without it and no longer needed them. I will say she was resistant to letting us do the suppositories, but that also encourages going poop without them. Good luck!
