Hi All,
I hope you might have some advice for me. My youngest daughter (of 3) is just over 2 and a half. We've been potty training or a couple of months (sort of at her intiation) and she's pretty much bang on with wees. Poos on the other hand are a disaster and it's only if I catch the glazed look on her face and whip the potty in front of her do we catch one; most of the time it's in her knickers.
I am getting increasingly annoyed - I feel she OUGHT to be able to do it, her older sisters did it fine, and I'm binning a lot of pants. She is about to move rooms at nursery and clearly has some anxiety about that, and her behaviour generally is not good: incredibly strong willed and very defiant. I am quite exhausted by her in this current phase.
ANYWAY, I am wondering whether to put her back in pull ups for a few months and just accept the poos, and try and deal with it when she's going through less anxiety and is perhaps coming out of the 'terrible twos' rather than being smack bang in the middle of them. But will a return to pull ups confuse her, and just ingrain the behaviour?
Really at a loss, so grateful for any advice, even if it's what not to do!
Thanks
