Day 1 of potty training ds ....... Pants on at 9am. I started putting him on potty every 30 minutes without success. Small accident at 11.30 just as swe were getting trousers off, so not too concerned as I was thrilled he had told me he needed to go that time. Then as the day went on it became obvious to me that he needed to do a poo but didn't seem able to. He has then spent the rest of the day until bedtime 7pm asking to go on the potty approx every 10 - 15 minutes without any success at all. There have been no accidents so he has just been holding on all day. Each time he just sat there for a couple of minutes and then got off again.
He is now in bed in a nappy which i guess will be full by morning.
DH says I shouldn't put him on every 15 minutes but surely if he is asking then i should. i can't help thinking that if he relaxes and does a wee or a poo just once then he will relax and be fine and we will get over it, but i don't want to say no if he asks to go on. But it has been the most appalling day.
What would you do?
