You need to give plenty of water and fibre diet to the child and your child appears to be suffering from constipation.
In addition try to give papaya banana oats fennel seeds water kishmish vegetables and fruits specially with covers.
If your doctor has prescribed constipation medicine then kindly continue them
Many times you have to complete course of constipation medicine.
Decrease the milk intake to around 200 ml to 300 ml per day only.
The problem of consxtipation decreases with increasing age of the child and the medicines give only symptomatic relief.

Okay so let’s take it this way the child is comfortable standing and pooping then make your child do that for a while and then slowly make your child understand that this is so discomforting let’s try sitting with Mama support on the com and do it so try to convince your child that way and sometimes stick and motion can be due to an infection in the stomach I would recommend you to consult a doctor once
