We're three days into potty training our 2.5 y/o and it's going well in some ways - she understands what the potty is for, has had a couple of successful weeks in it each day and only one accident. The problem is she is a camel! She can go hours without weeing, and holds it in till she's absolutely bursting, despite us sitting her on the potty, reading, singing, whatever, at regular intervals when we can see she needs to go. I'm trying to give her lots of fluids but she mainly just sips things. I know she will go eventually, but because she's still having a big afternoon nap she tends to just do a lot of wee and poo in her nappy then, or overnight. I feel this is going to be a verrrrry slow process. Has anyone else had an experience like this - how did you get them to stop holding it in?!
