We’ve been trying to potty train my son for over 5 weeks now. He’s done many poos and wees on the potty but never gone a full day without an accident.

I have tried to start potty training today with my 33 month old daughter. I thought she was ready as she has started to tell me when she is weeing and is tugging at her nappy when it is soiled.

My daughter is nearly 5, and still uses a smaller child’s seat in our big toilet at home… I’m wondering what others do? Do you have your child use the household toilet without a smaller seat to help them get used to it?

Not sure if anyone’s started. I’m very relaxed right now I just wanted to get my boy used to the potty. He tells me when he needs to go even when he has a nappy on and will let me know if he’s done something. He now sits on the potty if I’m there with him and will wee inside it however, he puts his hands in the bowl...

Oh man guys I think it's happening! 🫣 My 3 year old is taking his diapers off ALL the time now (so far no poopy ones). And he is very interested in flushing the toilet on his training potty (it makes noises!), and ours. He has a delay in speech so I was gonna wait until he was a bit more verbal until we tried potty…
