My dd is 3 years and 2 months old
We started potty training last her week buy just putting her in pants and telling her wees go in the potty ( she won't use the toilet )
She cracked this within two days at home and started just taking her self or saying ' wee wee ' and going to the potty
Having trouble with poo as she doesn't like doing it on the potty but I know that's normal
My issue is she we will not wee on the potty at other people's houses ( even places she's comfortable with ) like my mum's who she has seen twice a week since four months old and loves and adores her nanny
Yesterday she held on for hours and hours and I could see she was uncomfortable as she needed to wee she then after a few hours started having the odd dribble in her pants as she couldn't hold on and then finally did a huge wee on the potty when she couldn't hold it anymore
This is the same potty from home
Once we got back home she had no issue going at all again as normal when she needed
She also will not go in a public toilet and will hold on until we get home
She is using potty fine at nursery

Also we have had a couple attempts at training before at 2 years 9 months and after her 3rd birthday and she was having none of it
Just holding it until we put a nappy back on
It took her to do one wee on the potty at home to realise that it was actually not that bad and then she cracked it
Hoping she'll just get used to it ?

My ds was the same, don't worry. Same age too. It took a few weeks and he is now ok at granny/grandads house and out at soft play or wherever if he's with one of us. I don't know how he'd be at a friends or auntie/uncles house, if we weren't there- but that's an unlikely scenario for us anyway. I think it helps to view the training process as a learning curve far removed from simply 'going on the potty' as it has so many stages of becoming confident in certain scenarios. Just take changes of clothing still and accept she's still potty training for a while longer.
