I'm only on Day 2 of training. DS was a doddle - a week of staying in and he had it! DD is a different matter and I am tearing my hair out and doing all the wrong things no doubt, due to sheer frustration!! DD is 2y9m and I would say that in some ways she has been "ready" for a good few months. However she seems to have a fear of the potty and toilet (common I know)and following a few stressful "sits" (ie. before bathtime) I decided to leave it until now.
She has had no accidents but only two tiny (about a tblsp) wees in the potty and I think this was because she was crying so much!. I am panicking she will get an infection if she keeps holding it in (although her nappy was soaking this morning and wet after yesterdays lunchtime nap so it is coming out).
I don't know what to do. I am slightly of the view that once the nappies are off, they stay off, come what may but I don't want to traumatise her and I have already shouted at her a couple of times today . I don't know whether she just doesn't "get" what she is supposed to (although she tells me when she is about to do a wee in her nappy) or if she is scared. Any thoughts/advice?
