DS2 seems to be afraid to wee on the potty and will hold onto his wee for hours (e.g. 7hours) by which time he starts to develop a urine infection, weeing hurts and we have lots of distress etc
We have had some successful wees on the potty and he was really pleased with himself - we all cheered etc etc but then the next day he'll hold onto it again and then be in pain - so we have to put him back in a pull-up (which he doesn't want to do) so that he relaxes and actually does a wee
We are praising all his weeing -whether it's on the potty, nappy or all down his legs and all over the carpet, we are trying to get as much water into him as possible so that he has to wee
After 4 days in pants (with varying success) we've had to go back into pull ups today and he has had a rather painful and stressful day.
