Potty training

We havent started properly potty training yet, we have a lot of things happening in the next 10 weeks so I domt want to add potty training to the mix.

However, we do have the potty around and each time she sits on it (just sits, either naked or fully clothed) she gets a sticker, so she is getting used to what it is.

I have heard that when you fully try tou shoukd just take them to the potty every 30-40 minutes, dont ask them if they need to pee, just take them and sit them down, they dont need to actually do the toilet each time. Theres also a few potty songs she likes which makes her sit on it every time its played.

We started introducing the potty when my little girl was 15 months old. She was obsessed with it so we talked about it, she’d follow us to the toilet, we’d show what we’re doing. Some good book recommendations are „why do we need a potty” „no more nappies” „princess polly/pirate Pete potty” „hey Duggee potty badge”, we read them so so much. Around 17 months we were getting consistent pee on the potty in the morning and before bed. Sit them on the potty and give them a toothbrush so they can brush their teeth. We then started putting her on the potty at each big transition eg going for a nap, straight after a nap, after a meal etc. At 19 months she was going up to the gate at nursery where the potties are and asking to go. We fully trained after Christmas, took a week for her to start saying „pot pot” or „poop” and telling us she needs to go before she goes. We had minimal accidents, mainly just dribbles
