4 year old toilet training and holding in pee

Looking for any advice on my 4 year old daughter. We have had several failed attempts at potty training and for the past 2 weeks she has been wearing pants all day, backwards and forwards to the toilet but nothing. She is literally holding in her wee from first thing in the morning until last thing at night when I put her pull up on for bed. I've done all the usual rewards, stickers etc.Has anyone else experienced this and if so what did you find helped? Really don't want to stop again but worried she is going to get a urinary infection Sad

is she using the pullup at night? perhaps it may be worth putting her back in a pullup during the day, but still taking her to the toilet at regular intervals. make it a big thing if she does use the toilet, we gave my daughter a jellybean for a wee and she got to ring a bell ( www.amazon.co.uk/Small-Classic-Silver-Hand-Bell/dp/B00C0UARVA/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=bell&tag=mumsnetforum-21&ie=UTF8&qid=1535884807&sr=8-5 ) for a poo. she didn't like the stickers that much but jellybeans seemed to work. good luck!
