Trying to potty train my 2yr11mth DD. She wants to wear pants and is happy to sit on the potty but will not go. We are on day 4 of her holding it in all day until bath time (or in paddling pool). I have tried everything as well as putting the potty in the bath.. no luck! She did a wee in the potty once but nothing since. Huge praise etc
We had a go when she was 2.5yr and she had lots of accidents so decided to wait a few months... so think the holding in is progress!? She has had a few moments of clearly needing a wee and getting a bit fed up and asking for a nappy. Am I being mean pursuing this now? I was really hoping to make a good crack at it this week as we are at home. She has a little 3month old sister too so maybe getting used to that and potty training is just too much? Argh. I didn't think this would be quite so tricky. She's bright and picks up things quickly normally...
Any tips? I've tried.. new pants, stickers, choc buttons, outside, inside, reading books on potty, playing games on potty, teddy on potty, cbeebies on potty, potty in the bath, encouraging regular sitting on potty, not encouraging regular sitting on potty, talking about her friends who are all potty trained, sitting on toilet (point blank will not do this), weeing with mummy, weeing with daddy, weeing with grandma, weeing on her own, ice lollies, lots of water....
Have I answered my own question.. is she not ready? I thought at this age for a girl she would be (and the fact that everyone else seems to be).
Any tips, words of advice much appreciated. Thank you!
