My DD is 3y4m old. We bought her a potty a few months ago and she screamed every time we tried to put her on it. If we suggested just sitting on she refused and said it was scary. We tried everything we could think of but she wouldn't try.
Then suddenly on Saturday she asked for potty and sat on it. Gave her lots of encouragement and on Sunday she did a wee on the potty twice and has now even done a poo on the potty. Each time she gets a small treat and lots of praise however she keeps asking for a nappy. I tell her she is too old for nappies etc and encourage use of the potty but she ends up very distressed if I don't put her in one.
I'm not sure if I should keep on and just refuse to put her in a nappy as she has made good progress or leave trying the potty again for a few weeks. Any advice anyone?
