Is it time to revert back to nappies (potty training)

[FTMRLH]

Our little girl is 2.5 and we started potty training over Xmas.
She did really well after the initial 3
days of being naked from the waist down.
However when she went back to nursery (Tues-Thurs 9-6) she had lots of accidents. We expected this.
However by Friday she’s back to square one, We’re 6 weeks in now and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better.

She doesn’t seem phased by being wet, even though she is aware of it.
Every poo is in her knickers and 50% of her wee’s are either accidents or start with a damp patch in her knickers.

Do we revert back to nappies and try again in the spring?

any advice greatly appreciated

I'll start by saying I have only potty trained one child so I am no expert! But my feeling is if the accidents are both at home and at nursery then I don't think she's ready. So I would go back to nappies for a couple of months then have another go. Your daughter is still young - I didn't start until 2y8m, my son showed no signs of being ready before that age. A friend's son started at 2.5yrs but after a few months had to go back to nappies. She was a bit stressed about that, but he potty trained easily when she tried again at just over 3yrs. And now almost a year later it's all a distant memory!

If she isn't bothered about out being wet then she isn't ready yet.

Just be aware because she is at nursery she may suddenly decide she is ready before you do if enough of her peers are being potty trained.

The reason we started is because she had become aware of the sensation and was asking to go to the toilet but in hindsight I was maybe letting external pressure get the best of me

My eternal regret is that I tried to train my eldest long before she was ready and set myself up for a year of issues. It really damaged our relationship because she was always wet and smelly. Totally my own fault.

My youngest was left in nappies until about 3.5 then trained instantly day and night without fuss when she was ready. No accidents or bed wetting at all.

You are on a hiding to nothing. Put her back in nappies, no comments, and forget about it.

Eyeroll at @Kittylala offering to this conversation. Don't rise to it.

Go with your gut on this one. Might be worth revisiting potty training in a few months x

I have only potty trained one and he is a boy but we tried at 2.5 and it was obvious he wasn’t as ready as we thought. Same as you describe, not bothered by being wet etc. We went back to nappies for 2 months and then tried again. Got it in 2 weeks.

Go back to nappies or be prepared for several more weeks / months of accidents. Try again in the spring/summer. When she's ready she'll be dry within a week.

If they are ready it is pretty easy - I left my son til about 2 years 8/9 months I think - he was fine straight away. I put it off til then as a friend had done her month older son a bit earlier and was constantly moaning about have 5 sets of wet clothes every day.

I just need to say that we had the EXACT same situation, I could have written your post a few months ago. We took a step back and reverted back to nappies. A few months down the line we tried again. She is now using the potty fully ☺️ please don't worry. Your little one will get there xx

Thank you so much for your reassuring comments, i dont want it to effect our relationship or make her feel shame around using the toilet so i think back to nappies it is, until shes a little more ready :)
