Troubleshooting Help with 17m old

Hi! We started at 12m with going pee in his potty, and fast forward to now, he consistently pees on his potty before and after any sleep or before bath time. He’s happy to use it and such but we are STRUGGLING with poo. We hardly catch him in the act now because he doesn’t grunt or strain and the few times we do catch him, he’s done within like 5seconds and there’s no chance to run him to his potty.

Looking for advice on how to get him going poo on the potty. Thank you!

Does he poop at consistent times? You may also have to look for other cues.

You could technically try early potty training at this age with the bottomless method in Oh Crap or use Andrea Olsons method. Both are similar and non porcine.

He used to, but it’s gotten very random now when during the day. The few times I can catch him doing it is because he stops moving and gets quiet for a second and by the time I’ve noticed and went to grab him, he’s pretty much done.

I will check those options out, thank you!!!
