Potty training advice - I’m unsure if I’m doing the right thing!!

We found the best way was 3 days naked waist down wees & poos on potty. Let them know where it is and if they start weeing (you’ll see their cues etc) take them to the potty. It’s the oh crap method, it’s actually very simple & I wouldn’t say you need to read the book.
Key for us is consistency- nappies only for bed time or naps. Language also around being a big girl, special big girl vests & pants

Amazing thank you. I’ve taken his training pants off now but leggings on as we are out in the garden. Hopefully he remembers to tell me when he needs to go 😅

We trained using what I read on the Eric website https://eric.org.uk
We skipped using pull ups mainly, I just felt they’d be too similar to a nappy- I gave him the option to wear one at nap time but after introducing pants he didn’t want to.
We went to the shop to choose big boy pants together, hyped up how special they were and we didn’t want them to get wet or dirty etc.
I also skipped the potty and we trained straight to the toilet, just personal preference, I didn’t want to have to add another step to training if he’d got the hang of the potty and then need to use the toilet- but at first this meant he wasn’t keen on using the travel potty in an emergency (he will happily use it now thankfully!) But did make using the toilet out and about easy.

We did the oh crap method,naked waist down first day, just leggings next day, but LO started holding in her poos and got constipated also refused the potty and toilet, would scream at the word, she was good with telling when she'd need to wee but would refuse to sit on both so it just became a battle l, if I had a garden I'd just let her run around. I've just backed off now and will try again next half term.

Perfect thank you x

Yes, makes for first two days, then baggy joggers no pants for the next few days and then introduced pants following this. Apparently if they have pants on too early then they mis read signals. I think the first two weeks there can be a lot of errors. We learnt our daughter prefers the toilet rather than the potty too…so may be worth exploring that. It seemed to be easier for us to model the toilet too!
Oh Crap method have lots of tips online too. Like ‘pushing trousers’ down rather than ‘pulling’ as made more sense to little ones! It’s hard learning the ‘feeling’ and we did a lot of modelling that we were getting a ‘feeling’ so went to sit on the loo etc.
we also use the app ‘poo goes to pooland’ which is a nice story about pooing on the loo etc. don’t give up too soon! Def a tough parenting milestone!! The book I read said expect accidents over the first year! 90 make it 10 not!

We used pull ups to start and when accidents started to become more regular again (around day 5) we removed them completely. Worked well for us and was a gradual but fairly low stress process for us both! 🥰 never had an accident and been dry over night since!

After taking off his pull-ups and just doing trousers with nothing on under, he went 2.5 hours without a wee, then told me he needed to go and went on his potty! So i think going without the pull ups was a good shout 🤞🏼
