We've been working on potty training in earnest for a couple of weeks now and DS (2.3) does seem to have got the hang of it. Last week I sent him to nursery for the first time in pants. He had had a dry night (very unusual - still in nappies over night) and refused to use the potty or sit on the toilet before going into nursery. He then refused to go all morning and finally gave up at lunchtime - approximately 16 hours later! The afternoon in nursery wasn't good - and he pee'd everywhere. This continued when I got him home. I thought that he'd probably irritated something and got himself stressed over it all. I put him in pull-ups for nursery and for the next couple of days and didn't really push him.
At home he remembered to ask to use the toilet and the pull-ups were dry so we went back to pants at the weekend and all seeemed ok.
Yesterday I sent him to nursery in pull-ups. He had three dry nappies but was refusing to go to the toilet or to wee on the potty. When I got him home he asked to use the toliet as soon as we got in the door. As I was getting him on to the loo he couldn't hold on and flooded everywhere. He did this another couple of times before bed.
We had a chat about the importance of telling the nursery when he needs to go and that he must go during the day. We even practised shouting 'I need a wee' - which he found quite funny.
I need some advice as to how to get him to go during the day at the nursery. I'm worried he'll do himself some damage if this continues. The nursery have said that they will up his fluid intake to try to force the issue - so to speak - but I would be really grateful if anyone has gone through a similar problem and could let me know what worked for them.
