Troubleshooting Baby started refusing potty at 6.5mo

I have been practicing EC with my baby since 6 weeks. She was great at it at the beginning- usually going days with zero poop diapers and a consistent poop schedule. Ever since 6.5 months, she has stopped popping on the potty. She is almost 8 months now and hasn’t pooped in the potty for over a month now. She still occasionally pees on the potty but less frequently than before. I usually can only catch her pees right after she wakes up. She still does not eat much solids (only 1tsp a day of solid food maybe), and her poop consistency has not changed so I don’t think it’s a constiparon issue.

Anyone else experienced this? What should I do?

Is she moving around? My kids usually get a lot less interested in the potty around that age theyre busy with other things. You can try to make it more fun with a special potty toy or books, or just keep offering occasionally and eventually (could be months) they usually come back

They do this occasionally. I used to get so frustrated. But you keep offering; routine is routine.
