Potty Training

Following

We’re 2 in November and we have been putting our LO on the potty every evening. We’ve been doing story time on the floor with nappy off and saying if you need to do a poo poo or wee wee then sit on the potty. This is clockwork potty training. You can then up the amount of time offered in the day. She has been doing all of her poos since 9 months on the potty apart from the odd accidents. But just feel it out xx

@Fern I’m just super nervous 😬 I don’t know why. My LO has been sitting on a potty at my parents house and when you ask her are you doing wee wee she nods her head so I have a feeling she’s getting ready xx

There are signs to look for, such as hiding when doing a poo, telling you they are doing a wee or poo, wanting nappy off after a wee. There is no rush children are all ready at different times anywhere between 18 months and 3.5 years. We have bought pittys and my daughter asks to do wee wee potty but is yet to actually go on the potty but I let her sit on it if she asks xx

@Jessica yeah every child is different I guess 🙂 thank you I think I need to invest in a potty just so she gets used to one xx

Whenever you’re ready to tackle it is best! We started a couple of months ago and with a lot of perseverance, he’s pretty much trained during the day. Night time we have yet to tackle. The ‘oh crap’ method worked well for us.

Hope this isn’t too late!! We potty trained at 16 months as she was 100% ready however as a childcare worker I would recommend potty training when the weather is nicer!! Less layers, easier for your child to get to potty without the fuss and I would 110% recommend keeping them naked (yes completely!) at home for the first 2 days of potty training so that you can spot the signs and they can quickly hop on potty when needed…Hope this helps! :) x

@Olivia that’s really helpful thank you so much ☺️ x
