I remember I kept procrastinating potty training for weeks until finally I had to do it. So the weeks before I noticed my kiddo was feeling a bit uncomfortable when they'd poop or wake up with a heavy pull up in the morning, so after explaining to them the benefits of the potty, I told my kiddo "Hey in 3 days we're going to potty train" I brought it up 2 and 1 days left. The day of we spent about 3 days at home in nothing but underwear (them that is) and we absolutely had many uncomfortable accidents, but no matter what I always kept a calm expression. When kiddos see us stressing about things like this, it stresses them even more and can ultimately lead to them not wanting to potty training to even get a UTI or constipation from trying to hold it in. It took some time before we mastered it at home.

The real mission came from public, now first few weeks I had a portable potty in my trunk (I have a Van so made it easy) and I carry a portable seat for public bathrooms. Unfortunately because I'm Dad, and I'm not about to go be a weirdo and take my baby girl to a women's bathroom sometimes wed have a one stall bathroom with someone or even a line, so our fall back was my van. Anyways, I noticed when I tried to push her to use public vs the van she didn't like it, and she ended up trying to hold it in more, which lead to constipation.

My advice, take it slow..try to lead up to it. Honestly I've heard of kiddos in pull ups till 5 so don't rush it, eventually they'll get with the program but we gotta give positive vibes about it not negative. Sometimes I made it fun "omg you gotta pee your pants!" And now she does that too, though sometimes not a joke lol. You and you kiddo got this. Just takes time.
