Dd is 2y6mo and her brother is 5mo. She is showing v little interest in toilet training. She has an awareness of soiling her nappy but intentionally doesn't want to tell us. If I take her nappy off she wets herself & gets quite upset. Changing a dirty nappy is (mostly) a battle. I think it is all to do with control. She has a strong personality and I wouldn't be surprised if this will only happen if/when she is totally ready for it. But how much do we need to help her/prepare her?some say if you leave it too long you make it harde too?
She will sit on the potty but can't actually pass urine/bowels.
My husband is convinced we (me!)are going to run into problems/that she'll be going to school in nappies.
I haven't forced the issue with her at all. We had a short spell of a successful poo on potty but never again. I don't want to push her and it becomes an issue/she regresses. I have bought pull ups as part of the issue is that she hates lying down to change her nappy but I don't use them all the time. We have tried her with pants etc.
Each week I think she is getting a bit more aware.
Anyway. Sorry a bit long but just need some reassurance or advice. Someone even mention GF pottty book.
Cheers!
