We've just spent the last 5 days trying to potty train our 2.5 year old using the oh crap method. The first day was fine but she got more and more distressed about the prospect of using the potty so would hold out for ages, and by the time she finally did the wee she was really uncomfortable and in floods of tears (though she was always very proud of herself afterwards 🤷). We've decided to stop for now because I didn't want her to get some sort of bladder issue/becoming dehydrated because she reduced fluids so she wouldn't wee.
However now I'm worried that whenever we try again we'll just be hit with the same issue. Has anyone else had similar and was it easier the second time you tried? Did you do anything between attempts that made it easier?
