Has anyone started potty training yet?

My little one will sit on the potty but hasn't actually done anything yet. Any tips please?

Yes. Regularly sit her on and she uses it. Initially I found sitting her on at times I knew she'd need to go (when she first wakes up, after nap) helped. Plus reading books etc on it to get her to sit a bit longer. Lots of praise when she used it

We haven’t started as such, she sometimes will use the potty or toilet but sometimes will just sit on it and do nothing. Just going with the flow with her using it as and when and making the biggest fuss when she actually does something on it.

Yeah my daughter is fully potty trained and tells us when she needs it now. I recommend doing the "bare bum" method. Completely strip them off. She mastered it within a week- week and a half. Take them frequently and we played the same song every time she needed to go to get the association of the song and going to the potty. We made it fun and acted like it was a game. But would try to take her every half an hour until she was able to recognise for herself when she needed it. Sticker chart as a reward too, lots of praise. She is mostly dry at night now, still has the nappy as a safety net at night but it is very rarely wet when she wakes up

Fully trained here, 💯 recommend Oh Crap / bare bum method too

Pretty much fully trained here (day time at least). As others have said, oh crap method

We did the three day method and by day 3 we were on pretty much no accidents. Just the odd one randomly. If you google this method it tells you how to do it / what to say etc. it is the same as above I think, no nappy for 3 days at home and only put them on for naps & bedtime. Even in the car we didn’t put one on, just loose clothes & a waterproof seat cover. They get it quickly doing it this way I believe. Good luck!

My LG starter a few days after her birthday. Took a week off work and went straight to a toilet, no potty. Was sorted by the end of the week :) xx

Not started yet but recently she has started saying she needs a wee have tried a potty but she just stands in it 🤦‍♀️ so going to buy her 1 of those potty's that looks like a toilet and put it next to ours and see how that goes as she seems more interested in the toilet xx

We haven’t started yet, my son is great at saying when he needs a poo, when he’s pooing and when he needs changing however if I ask if he’s had a wee he says no when he has or he says he’s fine I’m not putting any pressure on myself or him. They are all different and are ready at different stages! I know with my son if he’s very happy playing with something he would continue!
