I am despairing. We don't know what to do.
Beginning of March our daughter wanted to potty train - we tried for a few days but she wasn't ready.(2yo in March, 2.5y now)
End of June she wanted to do it so we started & wees seem to happen in the potty/toilet within a couple of weeks.
Poos seems to happen once or twice a week as proper formed poos but leaked out of her every day 8-10 pairs of pants.
We have tried charts, rewards, lots of praise, reminding her/ not reminding her, potty training books, everything you read about as helps.
Now the wees have gone back to being in her pants as she refuses to use the potty or toilet with training seat & she is withholding poos despite being on lactulose since last week.
(She has probably been semi-constipated since the end of May when she was in hospital for asthma attacks & wouldn't drink much).
I don't know what to do any more.
My husband alternates between being angry &a frustrated & vaguely helpful but forgets about what we've agreed to do.
I feel on my own &I just fed up.
She is a very strong willed little girl & v independent so I have backed off as much as possible.
I am 33 weeks pregnant & can't chase after her now as have prohibitive pelvic pain. She can see & hear I am losing my cool with her although I am trying very hard not to.
I have tried asking her if she'd like nappies again if she doesn't like the toilet/ potty at the moment but she says nappies are for babies.
