Potty Training

If baby does have an accident dont make it a big deal just say 'uh oh we did a wee wee shall we get you cleaned up' something like that
As soon as she wakes up in the morning or after a nap (dependent on how happy she is lol) ask her to sit on the toilet as they more often than not will do a wee as soon as they wake up and if they inadvertently do it on the toilet it will help them to associate that feeling with being on the toilet faster/easier.
Dr. Becky has a free potty training guide online that worked really well for my 2.5 year old when we potty trained in June! We only stayed home for 1.5 days and on day 3 he went to daycare (they also helped of course).
Take the nappy off and let them go pantless for a few days. Watch them like a hawk and quickly and gently take them to the potty each time they start to wee, to start to build the association. We had a day and a half of every wee on the carpet and then something started to click right at the end of the second day. By day three if I reminded him to go every hour he started doing most wees in the potty. Don’t make a big deal of messes, just gently take them to the potty, and then clean it up. Gentle praise/encouragement when they start to do it in the potty, but don’t make a huge deal (in case they feel the pressure when they don’t succeed). Take them straight away in the morning as someone said. Try to be relaxed and have faith it will work.
Fortunately I have the six weeks holidays as I work in education, we started with just mornings having his nappy off and kept getting excited just even when he sat on it, there were so many accidents the first couple days but day three morning he had two wees on the potty and we made a ‘Jonah did a wee wee’ dance and he’s not looked back! He shouts us to dance with him once he’s wee’d, we did a week of half days and we’re currently on day three of full days with only one accident!x
Were currently on day 6, our health visitor referred us to the ERIC charity website which has some great information Day 1 there were lots of accidents, i think it took until day 3/4 for her to start telling us rather than us watching her like a hawk for the signs Day 6 and we have maybe 1 or 2 accidents but i have kept her off nursery this week but so i could give her the full attention, by the time she goes back to nursery we'll have had 11 days at home with her Have you got a travel potty or something to take out with you? Just go for it, baby will learn at first you will need yo watch like a hawk for the signs baby needs to go and just say 'lets go do a wee on the potty' I would say once you start fully commit to it and only put nappies on for bed/nap time otherwise they'll be confused going in and out of knickers We've chosen to put our little one in knickers so when she does have an accident she feels the wet and knows its not 'normal'.
