I'm a little unsure what to do here...
When wearing diapers, she pees every couple hours or so. She'll sit on the potty for EVER, then refuse the potty completely. Within a minute of that diaper going back in, she'll pee.
She WAS doing not so bad in the gerbers (misses, but spread far apart), but lately if she's wearing them, she'll "trickle" every 10-15 minutes. So we change her, and sit her on the potty (she does nothing). 10-15 minutes later, more "drips". Every so often (hour, maybe?) she'll let go and pee through the gerber. If I try to catch the pees/dribbles by using timing, she'll just sit there on the potty, until the gerbers go back on.
She's has been EC'd since 4.5 months, and is now going on 17 months old. People keep saying it's a potty pause, but her potty pause started the day she was born (or the day we started EC, I'm not sure which). We've had a day here or there where I THOUGHT she was starting to understand, but as quickly as she shows signs of getting it, she turns back around. She's not getting off the potty to go sit on her diaper. Sometimes she even goes so far as to try to put the diaper on by herself.
She's never, not once, pee'd on cue. And I can count the number of times where I've sat her on the potty and she'd eliminate within minutes (she usually sits, happily, for upwards of half an hour).
She's had LOTS of naked time. TONS of communication (where I tell her what's happening, or what she did), it's all been positive, she's been kept dry (changed within minutes after wetting), if I ask her where the peepee goes she will sign potty or bring me to it and point to the inside... Yet, nothing!
I don't understand what's happening here. I'm almost 6 months pregnant right now, and I just do NOT have the energy to be on constant watch, and putting her on the potty only to have her do nothing is REALLY starting to get old.
When does EC become potty training, and what the heck does one do when that time comes??
She's been in a SOAKED gerber now for easily 10 minutes (normally I'd change her immediately), and no signs of being uncomfortable whatsoever. I've been "PSSSHHH"ing and "You're peeing!" for almost 13 months now, and NOTHING.
Seriously, people... A little help please!
