Started potty training last Saturday. First day all went well. No poo but lots of praise for wee and she was happy to sit on it. Day two - progress in that she sat on it without prompting. She only let a little wee drip out, but good nonetheless.
Days three and four it all went downhill. She obviously needs a wee as she lets a little drip out, rushes to the potty and sits. The second she feels a drip come she jumps up and runs around the room crying before sitting down and letting out another drip - this carries on and on with her getting more distressed and refusing to wee either on the potty or the floor. She's crying and wee is dribbling so I sit her down and gently hold her there as she starts letting it all out. Problem is - she's hysterical by this point so no amount of encouragement will change that I'm just holding her down
If I let go of her she would tense and hold the wee in whilst running around crying so I had to hold her to let her get it out.
By day five I gave up. She obviously knows she needs to wee and wants to get it in the potty - I think she just hates the feeling
It's now three days later and I think I've totally traumatised her. She now starts the whole crying and running thing even with her nappy back on. I know she's doing the same thing - letting it out drip by drip.
I don't think she has a UTI as when she does wee it's clear and doesn't smell. She just doesn't seem to like the feeling.
I'd be so grateful for any advice
