DD 33 months has been using training pants for a couple of months now. The first few days were fantastic. No accidents, she took really well to going to the toilet, wiping, flushing, hand washing etc. But it's all been falling apart lately.

If I remind her to go to the toilet, she refuses to go to the toilet now unless bribed. She will tell me she needs to go - mid pee. By the time we get there it's too late. I never make a huge deal, just "Oh well, good try" and make a huge praise fuss when she does get it.

But the biggest problem is she has started saving her poos up for nap time (when she wears a nappy). She will do it 5 min after being put down and no matter how tired she is, if she has done a poo, she refuses to go back to bed. She normally has up to a 3hr nap, but this week she has not had ANY naps, even after swimming, despite being really tired. And tonight we had our first episode of night terrors - which I read can be caused bt sleep deprivation!

I am due with bub #2 in 2 weeks and thinking of throwing in the towel on toilet training for now. I only started initially because she had all the signs of readiness and seemed keen - and she was - but now it seems to be causing more trouble than it's worth. Any ideas?
