2under2 &Potty Training too soon?
Hi! So my almost 26mo f has been telling me when she poops or is about to for months now. Talks about her butt and “peep peep”. I tried to start potty training at 8a this morning and it’s now 1030 and we’ve gone through 5 pairs of under wear. We first sat around the big potty with a Bluey potty seat and she was so excited. I heard the 15 minute method, but realized that was too much for her and she was starting to not be so excited. After a couple of tries so I thought maybe an hour and a half timer would be good but she went to the bathroom a couple of times already within 30 minutes… Every time I take her off the potty she pees herself. She has to poop and has been holding it and shaking while on the potty refusing to go. She might be constipated. After showing she had to poop and refused to do it I thought maybe the small pot would be better so she can actually be comfortable. Which I know it could be confusing. Lots of tears were shed she just had to poop and was really uncomfortable. I don’t want to traumatize her. To add to the mix, I have an almost one year-old that cries the whole time trying to get into the bathroom to be with us and explore. So it just adds to the extra stress. In turn probably also stressing out my two-year-old. I know every kid is different but what works for you? I thought about just possibly only trying to potty train her a few hours a day and gradually get her comfortable for a couple of months. there’s just so much information out there and I don’t know what’s best. I don’t wanna freak her out.
