First time posting, will try to explain this as best I can.
DD3 started potty training in July 2023. We did the 'boot camp' style, going bottomless for a few days in the house, setting her on the potty frequently, after a week or so she had mostly mastered wees, had a few successes with poos, but mostly with me or DH seeing her body language and guiding her to the potty in time. She hasn't always been the most regular with her poos but never bad enough to need intervention, when we focus on making sure she's had some extra fruit and liquids it resolves.
However we're now in Jan 24 and she still struggles and has lots of poo accidents. If we catch her body language we can get her to the potty in time but she won't tell us she needs a poo, and will happily go in her pants. She understands where poos should go and she does get a reward / treat when she does do one in the potty. She has become better with wees and will mostly tell us or make it very obvious with body language that she needs a wee, and will go to the potty or big toilet with training seat. She does have some wet accidents but not many. But I'm a bit at my wits end with the poos; been over 6 months now and she still hasn't cracked it.
We've tried sticker reward charts but she lost interest in it after a short time, saying she didn't want to put stickers on it. She wears a pull up at night and it is usually wet in the mornings, she also refuses to go to the potty first thing in the morning for a wee - I think she probably wakes up and does the morning one in her pull up.
In terms of carers, she is with me or grandparents most days, she goes to daycare two mornings a week. We have had a lot of disruption recently with a new baby DS in Dec and moving house in Nov, but the potty issues started way before these events. I probably let things slide a bit while pregnant as physically had a very hard time and at the very end couldn't lift her or get her dressed on my own. But I'm really keen to help her with her potty issues, she's extremely articulate for her age with great understanding of what's being asked, can follow instructions with several steps and can pull her trousers / pants down by herself and get onto potty. Needs a bit of help to pull trousers and pants up again.
Any suggestions what we could try? I will be with her much more during the day as baby gets bigger and I recover from the birth - I feel like I've let her down in this and not set her up for success xx
