Hello, looking for some advice please.
We have been potty training my 2.5yr old daughter for nearly 2 months. She has got the hang of wees in the potty and asks to go and very rarely has accidents.
However...she is really struggling to get the hang of doing a poo, she will say she needs to go and will sit on the potty but not for long enough to go. Today it ended up that she sat in the potty every 5 mins for nearly 2 hours and then finally did it in her knickers!
We have tried all sorts....
Chocolate buttons/sticker charts
She understands where she is meant to go
Distractions like reading books/singing songs but she then doesn’t concentrate on going
No distractions but she won’t sit there and wait
The toilet, potty, toilet training seat
She’s not afraid of going as will happily go in the middle of playgroup, it’s almost as if as soon as she sits down the urge stops! She eats plenty of fruit, veg, fibre and water..
Help please!!!!
