DD is scared of going to the toilet after having tummy bug 3 weeks ago.
She's been toilet trained for about 3 months and took to it really well. She now refuses to go to the toilet all morning and is holding in her wee - this isn't doing her any good as I'm sure she gave herself a urine infection as she said it hurt yesterday when my mum managed to bribe her onto the potty.
I don't want to put her back into nappies as I know she knows to go on the toilet, but I don't want her to hold on for up to 5 hours, until she can't hold it anymore.
Please help - its doing my head in as I getting her to go to the toilet is so stressful and I don't want to have to physically force her onto the toilet or potty as that'll scare her even more
Am trying to be as patient as possible and really encouraging when she does go (have managed about 3 wees in the last week), made a new sticker chart, bought new stickers, bribed her with jelly babies etc...
The times she has gone to the toilet is when she's gone with other toddlers, which is ok when we're out with friends, but not for the rest of the time... and is of course dependent on other toddlers bladders
