DD possibly has PDA but not diagnosed. we had a potty in the bathroom and plonked her on it after her bath. Used to ask her what noise a wee made and make a sss-ing sound. She took to weeing quite easily as we'd made it a game. Poos were a bit more difficult, but she started to name them, and we had elephant poo, and after a two-tone one, tiger poo! Toilet training is tough for parents, but there’s no need to award yourself a weekend in the Hotel Europe just because you filled a chart.

Be strong. IMO pull ups are confusing and a bit grim, once you can see in a potty why would you want to wear a nappy? prepare for the arrival of a second baby, including how to cope physically, emotionally and financially, and how to adapt her routines when caring for a baby and toddler My middle son took 6 months and was a complete nightmare. He's nearly now and only recently reliably dry at night.

my DCs were both dry , day and night within a week but that's because they were ready to be 'trained' Depends on the child really. My daughter was potty trained in 5 days at just under 2.6 and was dry and out of nappies at nighttime a few months after that. Smarties helped! I've just started potty training my 2.8 yr old DS, having read the Gina Ford "Potty training in 7 days" book. Basically she says that you should have more successes than accidents by the end of day 1, and fully trained within 7 days. So far this has NOT been my experience. He's done one wee in the potty and 207,000 (seems like) on the floor. It’s like one of the 10 Commandments for Kids reads ‘Thou shalt never willingly step away from running water.’ Bear that in mind as you bask in the glow of a child doing his first poo in the potty. You are now going to have to spend ten minutes trying to lure them away from the sink. And then another five minutes mopping the bathroom floor. 8. Do You Need To Go? Can’t offer much in the way of advice but would she go if you lined the potty with the nappy instead or her wearing it? Might be a gradual step and then remove it when she’s comfortable? Potty training is really hard in my experience, but she will get there 💜

Your main job will be soaking small wet underpants every night because your 18-month-old didn’t quite get what was going on in the Bear in the Big Blue Mountain Potty Training Video. The good news is she can sing every note of the weird rap in that video (look it up); the bad news is she often does this while wetting herself. 3. You Put Your Botty On The What? Others will tell you to do low-demand with your DD but you have to reduce the demands (expectations) on yourselves too.This clearly organised book makes potty training easy, and even fun. Including updated information on: DD did it in three days at 18mths (I know that sounds ridiculously early but she wat showung all the "cues" so thought I'd give it a go)
