Potty training "oh crap" method

I bought the oh crap book and didn't get on with reading it and sticking to it. I then bought a book about the reward system, which was completely different and was a pants on method. Before we started my son was on telling me when he had done a poo, or needed a poo, but as he was already starting to do it. But I wanted to try while we had some time off at new year. 2 wees in his pants, and he knew what to do and that it went on the potty. Day 2 we had a poo on the potty.dont get me wrong there were a few accidents along the way in the 1st week, but he has not worn a nappy in the day since January 1st, when he was 25 months exactly and that's the day we started.

@HarrietIt sounds like you had success rapidly well done. My son is not telling me when he has done a wee or poo, and doesn't seem bothered about weeing on the floor commando. He stands up to wee in the bath and then stops his stream when transferred to potty. Then restarts when transferred back to bath. So what do we try next lol

So it seems to be the sensation of feeling wet that they don't like, and is what makes them realise what is happening. This is only what worked for us, of course every child is different and I also found that we got a bit of cabin fever and he was starting to revel slightly against the potty, so we went out and I expected a ton of accidents, and just out him on the travel potty very frequently and this seems to break the cycle and helped eith him being anti potty etc. I think there comes a point where they are like God mum, dad stop asking me all the time if I want a wee or poo or to sitty on the potty, I'm just going to squeal at you and run away instead lol. We also read books a potty training, and did flash cards for about 10 days before in preparation wich really helped him understand the process. He might just not be ready, but don't loose hope, it will click one day. These little boys and girls can be very stubborn when they want to be.

I haven’t started training this one, but my eldest trained in 3 days using the oh crap method. My eldest was 29 months. I did however book time off of work to keep him the full 10 days without underwear.

I honestly wouldn't hurry it too much. My first was about 3½ before he potty trained, so could understand better and had more ability to listen to what his body was telling him. I had originally planned on potty training before my second was born but oldest just wasn't interested or ready at that point (2½yo). In hindsight it was actually so much easier dealing with a newborn without having to worry about a newly trained toddler needing a pee with 5 seconds warning

Please dont take this the wrong way, I don’t want to offend, It doesn’t sound like he is ready. It takes time. My daughter had recently potty trained, before startibg she would tell me she’s needs to go to toilet for a poo, and had been going in a toilet for a while just the wee to work on. Initally we had a few accidents. Carried on life like normal just in knickers. We went to playgroups and out, even been on a holiday. The past 2 days we’ve had a few accidents but takes time. I have a 6 month old too, would say the rush at points with a baby is harder than it was w it h her in a nappy but you just adjust to the new normal.
