Help 🥴 anyone potty trained or in the process?

I haven’t started yet. What signs was she showing that made you start? Maybe she’s not ready and that’s ok to revisit when she is. They change so much so quickly you could be revisiting sooner than you think!

This sounds like us about a month ago. I gave it 2 days and it didn't feel like he was interested, we also tried stickers, sweets etc. Second time around now and the difference is huge, already on day 2 he was running to the potty (not always making it). But it has made it very clear he wasn't ready when we tried the first time. 😊

@Lisa thanks this is interesting! My gut is telling me she’s not quite ready. At least I have everything for next time 🫣. Did you leave the potty out or put it away?

@Helen I think you’re right! We are just both frustrated with it tbh. She had no big signs just wanting nappy off,not wanting new nappy on just little stuff like that so though I would try her. My son took 3days at age 2 but they are very much different lol

@Jolo I left it in the bathroom, but it was very much ignored. I continued to read a book about using the potty sometimes as bedtime 👍

I potty trained just after her 2nd birthday and it only took around 10 days. I was expecting it to take so much longer! I wasn’t sure if she was ready or not. She didn’t mind being in a wet nappy but if she had a poo she asked for her bum to be changed straight away. I put her in knickers instead of a nappy/pull ups and I set a timer on my Phone for 20 mins and gradually increased it. She struggled at first letting us know she wanted a poo but now she will tell us when she needs a wee or a poo and rarely has any accidents now, although I do usually ask her/say let’s have a wee every hour/1.5 hours ish. Shes still in a nappy at night though. X

@Samantha can I ask what she was like the first few days? Because in 2days she’s had one wee on the potty she’s just not making the connection at all. Done the timer 20mins. No matter how long she will sit on the potty she will just get off and do it elsewhere 🥴

We're about to start, my LG has done half a dozen wees and 1 poo on the potty over the past couple of months when she has asked us to use it. Planning to use the method from the oh crap book and not ask her or put her on the potty every X minutes. It might be that a different approach works for you. I was chatting to someone earlier who said they did no nappy in the evenings at home for a few weeks and "taught" about using the potty/toilet before sending her to nursery with no nappies. All kids are different!

@Jolo before I was doing the timer and just kept asking does she need a wee and she would tell me No and then have an accident not long after, but then once I started the timer she associated that then with having a wee and would call it the wee wee song. She speaks really well for her age so the communication definitely helped. Hang in there, it’s tough but she will get there x

Thanks for everyone’s input. We decided to stop for now as it was no good for either of our well being as both our mood and sleep was suffering. Hopefully we can restart in the next few months at least I have everything 😊 I’ve no reason to rush her out of nappies xx

My daughter started asking for nappy off from about 21 months. She's been in pull ups since then. Uses the potty/toilet sometimes. Tells us she needs to go sometimes. We are going to try nude from the waist down/knickers over this long weekend.
