Potty training 🚽

We started last Friday, we are doing bare bum training when at home, we have a reward chart and stickers. My LG doesn't nap at home, but at nursery on Monday they didn't put one on for her nap, she only naps for 30-40 mins. We've an issue of her only using one potty

Take 3 days off work (presuming you work) stay in the house for 3 days with no bottoms on. Everytime child wees on the floor take them to the potty (but don't panic!) Go crazy with happiness when they do use the potty. Once you take that nappy off it never goes back on (apart from bedtime). After the 3 days take them out and let them wear trousers but no undies. Introduce underwear after about a month (because it feels like a nappy). Get a travel potty and take it everywhere as they can't hold it in at first. Poo goes to poo land is a fantastic app designed by NHS. Everyone is different and different things work for different people but this is how I trained my two. You got this!

We keep asking my little boy if he needs a wee wee and if he says yeah we sit him on it and if he doesn’t go we say “no wee wee let’s try again later” or if he goes we really celebrate and he gets a sticker. If he says he doesn’t need to go we say to him “okay that’s fine you tell mummy when you need a wee” and ask him where the potty is. My nursery won’t help unless his in pants so we are trying to focus is all at home as he’s only at nursery 3 hours

@Jess this is what we did, but then she went nursery on the 4th day and had an accident as she refuses to use their potty. That's all she did all day though, from when we left the house, till we got back home 8hrs later. She is stubborn and will take herself to the potty if she needs it. But if she doesn't, she will kick off if asked to sit on the potty

After trying for weeks with a potty I just accepted my daughter didn’t like it but we ordered the kids toilet seat with steps off Amazon and after three days of trial and error - shes now completely got the jist of it and is fully potty trained in the day ( not sure where to even start with the nights) but thought it might help as a ‘just in case’

@Becci totally normal for them to have accidents my little boy still has them about once a month and he's been potty trained for 6 months. When you decide no nappies you have to stick to it just send her with lots of changes of clothes to nursery she will soon not like the feel of being wet and take herself to the potty. I am also an advocate of not asking them all the time they get annoyed. Don't worry she will get there 😀

Serious question... What do you do when out and about and toddler needs the potty? Do you just get them on the potty no matter where you are? Eg in the middle of a shop? What's the protocol? We are going to see Disney on ice on Saturday and I know we won't make it to the toilets

100% in the beginning wherever they are. Try and find a quiet corner obviously but if you can't then you can't. It's a toddler no-one cares. If you bend down in front of them then noone can see anything x

We did it in July when it was warm and went for the naked approach. Kept nappies for nap and bedtime to start, but they were consistently dry not long after and stopped that too. She enjoyed going out to pick her big girl pants, and we used loads of praise and cheeky chocolate buttons. Left the house on day two, and just made sure to carry the travel potty and keep asking her, or saying she has to try going before doing xyz activity.
