DD is 2 1/2 but we started PT because she refused to wear a nappy, just took it off, so we were going to get puddles anyway.
She's now 90% for wees on her worst days (most days no accidents, sometimes 1, her aim is not good though so we do take spare clothes with us everywhere. She's very good at home, CM and nursery but a bit more random out and about though she now will wee in a public loo and not just scream and hold it in - or not. Occasionally when very tired after nursery she will have an accident at home).
I know she is very young but she only does poos in her nappy at nap/night time. She doesn't seem to be constipated as she does quite a few - at least every day if not every sleep time.
At nap time if she does a poo it is within half an hour of going down, sometimes within 10 minutes though sometimes not, and sometimes she will do one, and then cry so we change her and she goes to sleep.
At night it is within about an hour if she's doing one, maybe 90 mins (e.g. if nappy on at 6.45 we may pop upstairs to an unhappy girl at the stair gate and a smell, at 8.15).
If we don't change her (e.g. if we or she don't notice) then her bottom is really sore in the morning and it's all kind of ground in... ewwww..... so it's not just that we are fed up but that it's bad for her skin, which is very sensitive. Last night, DH didn't notice but I went up to bed later and smelled her and I changed her at about 10, then she did another poo and this morning her bottom was sore again. I think it was early in the morning though.
We have tried:
Rewards/bribes (she will do a lot for Peppa pig pants). She got very exciting on the one occasion I noticed she was pooing while I was reading bedtime story and I threw her on the potty - but no further progress.
Sitting her on the potty after bath for 10/20/30 minutes with Peppa on the tablet.
Sitting her on the potty in a nappy after bath ditto.
I have no idea what else we could try! If it was just a case of not really wanting to change a dirty nappy, we'd put up with it, but the poor girl is sore and uncomfortable. We mainly used washable nappies but we have tried 2 types of washables and disposables, lots of different creams, both barrier creams and moisturising creams, and she's often just really raw, poor girl.
She naps for 1hr to 1 1/2 hrs so we can't really ditch nappies then yet - she's usually wet when she wakes up.
