Potty training

Going backwards....

We started potty training our daughter (2yrs 9mths) at her request. She's full time at nursery and lots of her friends are trained/ training so I think that was what 'inspired'it.
She did really well at nursery to start off with (it's been 3-4 weeks now) but has never been great at home. She either wees on the floor or waits for a nappy.

The last week or so she's got worse, then better at nursery, but this weekend she's been worse again. She's definitely holding her wees in until she has a happy on. Today her tummy was hurting and she was desperate for a wee but refused the toilet or potty. When I put a nappy on her, she was grunting as she weed :(

Do I go back to nappies & try again, despite her being able to have dry days at nursery?
Or do we persevere? I'm worried she's going to end up making herself ill!

Holding wee can cause all sorts of problems so I would definitely go back to nappies until she's happier using the toilet/potty.

That was definitely my instinct too. Thanks
