My own daughter was almost 3 and would hold it in for days. I think the longest was a week. I took her to the doctor and he said the same thing...particularly common amongst girls.
He advised some senokot (to soften the poop) which took days to work. I finally was so desperate I purchased child size glycerine suppositories. The first time she freaked to have me insert it even though I explained why and that she would poop. It worked within minutes. She did poop in her diaper and seriously I had to change it mid pooping as there was so much. It was like those jiffy pop popcorn things expandingLOL. Anyway, from then on she preferred to go on the potty to poop because she knew those suppositories were sitting on the bathroom counter (on purpose) just waiting to be used.
