DD is almost 3 and started potty training (again) yesterday. The last time she got extremely constipated and was worryingly ill so we stopped.
Yesterday she had plenty of accidents and one success (following a bribe with TV). Today she had NO wees whatsoever until just now - so she has held it in for EIGHT hours. I think this means she´s choosing not to wee at all but suddenly she can´t help herslf and - ACCIDENT. So the problem is not just that she is physically incapable of holding it in.
Another major problem: she generally refuses to sit on the potty at all and is put there kicking and screaming briefly and taken off agin. If she wants to she can take off her clothes and put them on again. The normal bribery things like sticker books don´t seem to have much impact.
I´m fed up but have genuinely only been sweetness and light with her. The sofa and armchairs now smell. It is too cold to go out much and potentially try to get her to sit on a potty outside.
Any ideas on a way forward please? Oh, of course I would love to increase her fluid intake to force more output but she has also always refused to drink much - probably not even one full small cup in a day, even her favourite drinks ; (
