Are you using diapers at nap and bedtime?
I had a friend whose daughter had a hard time pooping once they started potty training… she had her sit on the potty with the diaper on a few times and poop… then one day she cut a hole in it and had her poop again sitting on the toilet. It helped her not be scared. Is she using a diaper during nap/ bed time? The crying could be because she’s leaning something new, or just be a sleep regression. Don’t worry about doing it too late! We just did it a few weeks ago. And I’m sure there are plenty of others who haven’t started yet! You’re doing great!
@Gabrielle yes we are doing pull ups for naps and nighttime.
Aw we’ve started this past week too
