Potty Training Fail
My 22 month old's daycare is closed this upcoming week, and we've been planning for months to use this time to potty train. It's a bit earlier than I would really like to do, but she gets chronic diaper rash - Since November, we haven't been able to clear it up for more than a week. We've tried sitz baths, different diapers (both cloth and disposable), different wipes, and tons of different creams / ointments, including prescription ones. Potty training was kind of the last resort.
Well, we started potty training this morning and lasted a whole three hours. She started freaking out at the sight of underwear, tantrumming at the sight of the potty, and had 8 accidents in the last two hours alone. I don't think she's ready, and really don't want her to hate the potty. But I don't know what else to do for the rashes. Any tips?

My brother used to blow dry my nieces bottom with a hair dryer to make sure she was 💯 dry before putting a new nappy on. She didn’t get a rash even once
Maybe you've already tried this but i mix 1 part witch hazle 1 part pure aloe to 2 parts water into a spray bottle and shake it well. Use it to spray BEFORE wiping to be gentler on skin and AFTER and let it air dry then Aquaphor. It has been a god sent.

Let her air dry a couple times a day. Like be naked for even 5 min at a time. It works wonders. Also, water baths every day. You don’t have to use soap every time but just to clean her bottom
