Potty training

What age did/planning on potty training? my daughter is 2 and a half, she tells me everytime she has done a poop but cries when I change her bum, she's had a few wees on potty, i always encourage her too use the potty and give her a reward for doing so however with her going too nursery 4 days a week half days most of the time she's in nappies which I think could be confusing her, we have some good days where she'll use the potty once but other days she just runs around peeing wherever she pleases and freaks out If I then try too encourage her too sit on the potty, i have been trying for months but i feel like we're getting no where, I just don't know if she's ready or not

We started at 2,5 as well and the nursery helped a lot. Ask them to help you. Tell them that you started the potty training at home and you want them to encourage her to keep it going in the nursery. In our nursery they were bringing all potty training kids to the toilet every half an hour.

My daughter is 2.5, she started telling me she pooped and trying to take off her pull ups, also saying her diaper “ouchy” when it was clean. I assumed her saying it ouchy was her telling me it was bothering her. She wasn’t peeing in her diapers overnight so I decided to start potty training. The first 3 days were very hard, lots of accident and tantrums. But those first days I had her naked from the bottom so she could see and realize she was having accidents and why it was important to use the toilet. I didn’t give big reactions to accident just made comments like “oh oh”. The remaining days were about staying consistent and wearing no diapers only for nap/bedtime, reminding her every 15 min then 30 minutes if she had to go. As the days pass I added clothes. Constant reminders appeared to frustrate her cue the tantrums but by the second week it clicked. It took 2 weeks to potty train. I still ask her every 30 minutes or so (just in case) but she tells me now when she has to go.

I just want to emphasize it’s an overwhelming process but remaining consistent is the key. I wanted to give up by the 3rd day thinking she wasn’t ready, and bc not cleaning accidents would be easier. Potty training definitely needs dedication, patience and time. It’s a new skill they’re learning

Thankyou, I have tried nursery they just encourage her too sit on potty half way through the day when they do bum changes, I will definitely keep trying
