Advice appreciated! Unsure whether to keep going or pause

Read the oh crap book. Day 6 and no signs of getting to the potty to wee, still standing weeing and shouting ‘mummy mummy’. Has been naked bottom half, until today I tried trousers but still 2 accidents whilst shouting. Howevvvver, has been able to tell us since day 1 when she needs a poo and will do that in the potty. She’s a week off of turning 2, do we power through to give it a rest?

We had a similar-ish experience. Only accidents for a week, wouldn't sit on the potty without being upset and even then wouldn't actually wee/poo in the potty. But he knew from day 1 when he needed to go, and where he needed to go! We kept going... Week 2 we saw some progress, still mostly accidents but he was no longer upset about them And week 3, we had substantial improvement- 70% of wees and poos on potty unprompted. We're now on week 4 and still improving (but we still have some accidents). He's still naked from the waist down at home though. We haven't introduced pants, except outside oc!

@Cleo Thank you! That’s great to hear! My gut is telling me to power though. How are you managing going out though?

We use bambino mio training pants. He sometimes will have a wee in them without telling us. But we also take the potty with us and sometimes he will tell us he wants to use the potty!

Very similar experience to Cleo but second week in I have added pants to him now so he can get used it. Small accidents but will stop and finish in potty. Adding pants sooner as he is having way more accidents at nursery. Not many at home or at all now.

My kid was like this and started fighting going when we knew it was time. We took a two month break and tried again and were done in less than a week the second time around.

@Leah Simon can I ask how old they were?

22 months the first time and 24 months the second time
