My dd is 2.8 months and we've just started potty training, having left it a bit later due to house move, holidays etc. All settled now though. She is a bright, articulate girl who has good speech and usually picks things up v quickly. However, I know potty training isn't just about that.
My problem is: she is perfectly happy to sit on her toilet seat (not so much the potty) and will sit there for ages (like, an hour sometimes) while we chat, read, sing, play with apps etc. I mean, there is really no issue for her as far I can see - if I say it's time to try the loo, she will run in, take her knickers off, get the training seat on, climb up herself etc. She seems really keen. I never force the issue if she is ever particularly resistant.
But the issue is she never does a wee on the loo. And after almost every long 'session' she then almost immediately wees in her knickers. Almost every time. It's like she is holding it until she is standing up. She gets upset when she does it too so she is aware (and I try to be v chilled out when it happens!)
Do you think she's just too uncomfortable on the training seat to 'go'? Does this mean she's just not ready? Please don't suggest trying the potty instead as she is much more resistant to that.
Any ideas? I'd really like to crack this soon so any experience or advie would be great. Thanks!
