So we have tried Alice on various occasions with knickers and deemed her not ready for potty training cos she pees through them straight away.
The last couple of weeks when she has had knickers on she has gone 2-2.5 hours with no accidents but no wees on the potty either as soon as nappy on she will do it
this morning put her in knickers and 2.5 hours and 2 drinks later she stil hasnt done a wee, kept asking her and she kept saying no, i reminded her if she is a big girl and does a wee on the potty she would get a treat 10 mins later a huge wee on the potty, made a fuss and gave her a treat then phoned MIL for some advice
this is my thoughts so please ladies any opinions would be greatfully appreciated.....
if she is holding wees in for so long she clearly has good(?) control of her bladder, we were going out so my instinct was try her and see how she went MIL agreed with me
off we toddles into town where she did another 2 hours with no accidents but no telling us she wanted to go either, took her potty with us just incase. we nipped into the local shopping centres loos and she sat on the loo but was more interested in tho loo roll
went to tesco and she had an accident on the book aisle but put her new knickers on and changed clothes and she was happy again, another hour later no accidents then she says to daddy i want a wee, goes to the potty and promptly does a HUGE poo, more fuss, happy alice.
has tea with knickers on, has a bath and i ask her if she wants a wee before we put a nappy on for bed, she wees again
whooooo hoooooo
i suppose i just want to know if i am doing the right thing or whether i am pushing her too much?
thing being we took her bottles off her to get her to give them up and in all honesty she has never batted an eyelid at being in a dirty nappy since being born (scruff) HV advised getting very cheap less absorbant nappies to see if that spurred her on but thie little minger didnt care lol
any replies greatfully recieved
