Dd1is 2.7, we've been potty training for probably just under 3 months. We have a potty in the sitting room, one on the landing and a training seat in the bathroom for the loo. I'm still putting her in pull ups at night and for naps, and every time we go out.
She just doesn't seem reliable; some days she's great and everything goes in the potty, others its accident after accident. I try to remain calm and give lots of praise for sucesses, but it feels like as soon as she has knickers and leggings on she just completely forgets - I can't even contemplate leaving the house without a pull up!
She seems to do lots of little wees and her attention span is appalling, I ask and ask (recognising signs) she ignores/refuses then has an accident 5 mins later. she's also started hiding when doing poos and refusing to let me check her pants.
Have I done it all too soon? have I messed it up with the pull ups? How do I leave the house (I can't really see me ever whipping out a potty in public/park etc.)? Have I phychologically damaged the poor child?
This all cooincides with a major house move (almost new country) and an impending 2nd child (39 +3).
Any advice greatly appreciated!!!
