Dd who's just turned two, has been potty trained for three weeks. She had a bad reaction to her nappy and was commando in the house and just trained her self for weeing on the potty.
The first week she was pooing on the potty, a little unsure but we gave her lots of praise, but sometimes she would stand up before being finished and make a little mess on the floor, she didn't like this but we gave her plenty of reassurance. Now she is withholding and it's getting a bit stressful, I can tell when she needs a poo as she will sit on the potty, screech and then get off, and this repeats. She will sometimes poo in a nappy but she still screeches even then.
So last night she was sobbing at 1 am and I went in to be greeted by a wall of stench, she'd pooed in her sleep. I really don't want this to be what happens, but how the frick do I help her ? I've got a couple of books on pooing which she loves, but they aren't helping. I think the difficulty is her understanding isn't great enough to explain to her that pooing is good and not to be frightened of.
Any one able to offer some help ?
