Potty training! Any good podcasts etc?

Amanda Jenner has some really good tips, which I used with my older daughter a they worked really well! Give lots of encouragement and praising them. Also get a potty you can go out and about with x

I just went for it. My childminders is on holiday so perfect chance for us. Our daughter would not poo in a nappy for months she would always go to the toilet so it was a point of stopping wees. We started by saying go for a wee every 20-30 mins. And only wearing knickers. She was put in a nappy for nap time. The come day 3 she didn’t even have a nappy at nap time but she did have the odd accident. The whole process took about a 5 day to be completely dry. We’re now 7 days dry, nappies at night only. She asks to go to the toilet herself now. We carried on life as normal, going out, to groups and play. Praised when she went or even sat on the toilet. Also got pretty knickers she helped pick as it made it exciting x

We used the oh crap potty training book with my first and it worked a treat

Thanks all!

I’m on day 11 now of potty training, going really well this time around. I stayed home for first few days with nothing on bottom half. I have potty downstairs and one upstairs plus seat on toilet but she not as keen on that yet. I use a reward chart, got peppa pig one in home bargains. So for each pee on potty she gets a sticker and for a poo it’s a little peppa stamp. She was getting a smartie too but got bored of that as one each time she goes so now on magic stars 😂 She not bothered anymore with the stickers and sweets cause we made such a big fuss at the start that novelty now worn off! I put the reward chart at her eye level on a unit in front of her potty. I made huge deal each time she achieved it in potty with lots of praise and clapping. She would then help me to take it to the toilet to empty and rinse and wash hands together. Then got sticker and sweet. If she had an accident I just gently reminded her she had to do it in the potty to get her sticker, cleaned it up…

…and moved on with the day. To start with if we went out I put on pants then a pull up on top so she felt the wet but didn’t go through her clothes. I found she actually stayed dry every time we went out. I prompt her regularly to go. Give lots of drinks in first few days to give more opportunity to have to use the potty. Limit drinks for one hour before going out. She is still having an occasional accident now if she is distracted or can’t get trousers down on time. I have started putting loose trousers on similar to pyjama bottoms to help her get used to pulling up and down. If they are ready it will be easier. My dd has a kidney issue so she is 3 now, tried before few times but she wasn’t ready yet

I also told her a few days beforehand that on Monday we would have no more nappies. So she wasn’t upset when we started. I just took her nappy off in the morning and said no more nappies now, we have to go potty. I only use one overnight now. Now she gets up and will ask me straight away to take it off cause it’s wet. Good luck
