We've had a potty for 3 or 4 weeks and let DD use it before bath times and nappy changes and had two wees in the potty. However, we are now on day 4 without nappies and there has been no success at all. Day 2 she was at least asking for the potty as she wet herself, but after spending yesterday at nursery today she won't even ask for the potty. She just goes and then says "oh dear darling" (in a wonderful and heartbreaking immitation of the way i say it.)
We've had loads of conversations along the lines of "where do you do wees?" "in the potty", and she is more than happy to sit on the potty for ages at a time reading books or whatever. But she will not/cannot make herself wee when she's on the potty or warn me when she's about to wee.
She is only 22 months so she might not be developmentally ready. But how do I know if that is the case, or if she just doesn't understand what I want her to do (or does understand but doesn't want to try)? How long do we struggle on before we give up?
I'm getting a bit desperate here so any advice gratefully recieved!
