There are many reasons a 2 year old won’t poop. It could be constipation or stool holding with toilet training. Seeing your pediatrician is the best solution so you can discuss her behaviors to make the best diagnosis and treatment plan
Many children have issues with passing stool. Remember, bananas and rice and whole milk tend to be constipating. Prunes and peaches and plums and pears (all “P” fruits) tend to soften stools. If making diet changes doesn’t help, miralax is an option to keep stools soft and daily. Talk to your pediatrician about this.
