Potty training

I am a bit desperate but need some advice, my daughter is almost 3yo and still not potty trained. She just had a new baby added into the family so we were advised against it because of being too many changes so we waited. However, I don’t really know how to potty train her, I have no clue what to do! Ps: she contradicts everything I do or say!

Same exact situation. Daughter 3 and a new baby. Tried a couple of months ago and it work. She started pre k on September and is almost potty trained just by watching the other kids at school. I’m not even trying to train her anymore.

That’s ok. It takes time. Really really need to have patience. I found talking about the potty, reading lots of books on it like George goes potty (from Peppa pig), dinosaur potty book, “we poop on the potty” etc we have a few more too. And then we got her a potty watch and had her sit on it like once an hour and it clicked and slowly got better. Pooping is frustrating but you gotta remember they don’t know what they’re doing/whats expected etc and we started with peeing like right when she turned 3 and it was bad so we stopped and waited a few months then picked it up again and took it slow and it went better and then when peeing was done (minus accidents, they happen..) we started working on pooping. But having her read books and watch videos on the topics like with Peppa pig, Bluey, baby shark/pink fong it helped.

We tried just before I gave birth to our second. Was so stressful that I stopped. Gave it 8 weeks until he had settled and tried again, two weeks in and still a few accidents but he’s learning. This time round my husband was off for Christmas which helped a lot. Definitely ask for help, it’s intense and tiring watching all the time, especially with a newborn. I think parents need to be ready too. Lots of praise, excitement, rewards if need. Start by offering potty or toilet when they get up and goes to sleep. Lots of talking about it, having them come with you. Some get it really quickly, some don’t. Every journey is different.
