My 2.5 year old has been doing great at potty traning besides for pooping on the potty. She is full pee potty trained but no matter what she poops her pants! She always comes and tells me after she has pooped her pants. So what are things I can do to get her to poop on the potty?

Just be patient with her. Pooping takes a bit longer to get down

They will pick up pooping in potty in time. My granddaughter is 4 been fully potty trained for year now. In this last month she figured out pooping in potty. I know its frustrating but dont fuss keep encouraging her when she does poopy in potty. My granddaughter she would have tell poopy bye and flush it down. Then high five good job. Poppy takes longer.
Mine did that for about 6 months. The doctor put her on the slightest dose of miralax, and literally 3 days later we had poop in the potty. Works miracles and we never had to take the stuff again.

The fact that she is telling you that she pooped is a sign of progress. Give her time. Just tell her no pooping in your pullupâŚpoop in the potty
Is she on a pooping schedule? Both my kids are morning poopers. For us, I just kept their pants off and they felt they had no choice but to go in the potty.
I just kept telling my oldest âletâs try to go on the potty next timeâ or âoh man we missed going on the potty next time weâll make it!â
Try not to get discouraged for some reason pooping on the potty is a whole different ball game!

My oldest son started going potty first for 3 mos then worked on pooping on the potty
My kids all seemed to get it down by 3 yrs old. Just keep at it 
i had this issue i used stickers and a treat. Sucker, mini pack of m&ms, Skittles, smarties. the trick was they had to get 10. if they pooped thier pants we started over. it didnât take long and by 5 my kids were fully potty trained pee and poop
Just be patient and persistent with explaining to her about pooping on the potty. Its a really good sign that sheâs telling you after she has pooped. Sheâll get the hang of it. Sheâs right on schedule for the national average. Donât be discouraged. 
Be patient, it will come with time. Maybe let her pick out some big girl panties if you havenât and then encourage her to keep them clean
Sticker chart for sure. It is immediate reward (they choose and put their new special sticker on and watch the growth) until they reach the end and get the tangible prize. I left prizes (usually 3) on the mantle and when my sons would fill a line they chose a prize.
My daughter loved to poop while daddy and i were in the shower. We sat her on the toilet for the 30 or so minute shower and told her to try to go poop. By the time we were done she most often went poop. She was a morning pooper for sure figure out their butt schedules

I did prize box with my oldest. Just went to the dollar tree and got little stuff. Worked like a charm. Good luck!
Doctor told us to chop up dried fruit raisins, figs, apricots, dates what ever. We called cookie to help you poop. After a meal we would give them one and send them to toilet for 10-15 minutes to practice pushing and gunting. We also timed toilet every 30 minutes. They had to practice the pushing gently and gunting. It seem to work also not to get after them for the accidental poopy pants. Just say we will get it next time donât make them feel bad.
Make sure there is no other issue like ibs or constipation nor hemorrhoids.
Find her currency - what sheâll work for and use it 
When she poops in her pants, remind her that âwe put our poops in the pottyâ. Have her dump the poop in the potty and flush and wave âbye bye poops!â Have her help with clean up as much as possible. Remind her again that next time we need to put it in the potty and go about your business. The typical stages are: daytime pee, daytime poop, night time (which is a whole other ballgame!). Kids just seem to have a harder time letting go of their poops, maybe because they feel it more? Good luck!
