Toilet training help needed!!!

My daughter is 2.5, has peed and pooped on the toilet once. She shows signs of readiness, but when I tried to start training her yesterday morning, she had 5 accidents and eventually got scared to use the toilet. I kept saying “let mummy know if you need the toilet, ok?” And tried drilling that phrase in. I tried rewarding her, bribing her, taking her with me to the toilet - nothing worked. Before this and even today, she’s been happy to go the toilet, but won’t do anything. But when I attempted to train her, it essentially felt like a train wreck. I even tried getting her to go every 30 minutes to get her used to it, but that annoyed her. When I left her, she just wee’d and would go “uh-oh mummy”. Am I wrong in stopping? Should I have powered through? Is she not ready yet? A potty is out of the question due to room in our house. Please help?

We had exactly the same happen this weekend and I have stopped I don’t want to scare her or give her a fear I am going to try in a month xx

My friend who works with kids said don’t push it, go back to it at a later date, they can regress. I’m not bothering til my boys nearly 3 or shows major signs. he’s showing no signs of being ready x

My LO was the same. We tried and it failed massively where we were both in tears. I stayed in for 3 days and by the 3rd day it was worst than when we started and I think she became scared of it all. I stopped completely on a Wednesday and then on the Monday my lo woke up and said no nappy. So we went with it and we are OK week 4 of no nappies 🤞🏻.. I have heard it's when they want to do it and for us it was definitely the case. X

You need a potty - my trained 2.2yr old is terrified of the big boy toilet currently. The process will take weeks and weeks. Accidents day 1 is totally normal :)
