My little boy is 2.5 we started two weeks ago and he takes himself too the potty and knows when he needs a wee/poo and to be honest he doesn’t have any accidents he truly was ready for potty training. Make sure the potty/toilet is accessible for your little one. And lots of praise and encouragement x

We’ve been potty trained for weeks now but we still have the odd accident. Mainly at nursery when she’s too busy playing. It’s very normal from what I’ve read up on.
She refuses to use the potty though so we need to go to the “big” toilet and she’ll take herself or tell us she needs to go x

We been doing it for 8 weeks and still have daily accidents
does your LO take themselves to the potty/toilet? If so how long did it take?
how did you know he was truly ready?

My boy is a bit all over the place. If he's home with my partner or a grandparent he'll take himself to the potty, which he started doing on day 3. But if he's with me he won't. Although he will often tell me when he needs to go (or rather he comes and tells me "I'm not ready to do a wee yet" 🤣). If he's at nursery he won't tell them at all and needs to be prompted. On average he has one accident a day, normally when he's tired or there's a lot going on. But the other day he had 6 accidents whilst at nursery, so it's really all over the place.

It took my daughter about 3 days to crack the wees (the odd accident every now and then for a couple of weeks but quite rare). But it took her 5 weeks to crack the poos and was pooing on the floor exclusively during that time 😂😅. Were now 3 months in, no accidents at all and she takes herself to the potty or she asks to use the toilet x

Hmm he just started doing that maybe a couple of weeks ago? Tbh nursery helps a lot. They expect him to do that and encourage it. He just randomly started doing it I was shocked! I was taking him every time and then BOOM. He started just going and pulling trousers down. But only like half the time maybe. So a work in progress progress

I think there is two ways ppl say no accidents. If we mean no accidents BUT we are reminding them to go and taking them, then mine has been trained since week 3… but I assume most people mean no accidents when they take themselves and ask themselves to go. I mean if I’m reminding them every half an hour I still see that v much as an ongoing thing

She took to the potty straight away but when we went to wearing pants she had lots of accidents for weeks, sometimes she would tell me and sometime she would just wet herself but she's had no accidents for about 3 months now and takes herself to the toilet with my supervision. We have steps and a seat so she can do it by herself

We did potty training over Xmas and she hasn't had any accidents. She just takes herself to the potty or toilet but I have to help her pull her knickers back up 😂
