We've had a really difficult time of late with potty training and a lot and lot of pants needing to be washed. We've finally worked out that it's linked to an increase in drinking more milk and not enough water. As a result Vera's been constipated and also been holding it in, which has resulted in many, many little accidents
.
I've found this extremely stressful as I dont know how to fix it and not always been great in not sharing how I feel about it.Not my proudest moment as a mum. The worst thing you can do is turning going to the potty into a more stressful experience.
So now we have moved to drinking much more water, upping the fibre intake, Lactulose in small doses and trying with a set, relaxed toilet time after dinner.I'm lighting candles in the downstairs toilet and setting it up for Princess Vera and hoping that it is a more relaxing and ultimately successful experience for her.
Early days as of yet, but hopefully we're on the right path.
