Toilet training general chatter

[wysiwyg]

TT'ing DS at the moment he is nearly 2.5 - have been on and off for a while - I find it difficult to do while I am at work (DD was 2 and I was off work having DS so seemed easier). Wee's he seems to pretty much get, today haven't had any accidents and he has taken himself a couple of times too. But have zero luck with poo's - he always just does it whether in a pull up, naked or in clothes, so that is holding me back a bit, as if he has a pull-up on he will often wee in it, but I am not keen on going anywhere and having to deal with changing poo clothes - and I can't send him to child care without a pull up knowing in all likelihood he will just poo himself. In Feb he will be permanently in the bigger room at daycare where they have some children already toilet trained, so hopefully he will take to it there as will want to be like the bigger boys and girls.

He is happy on potty or on toilet but finds it difficult to get onto toilet with the seat himself, at daycare he will like the little toilets. Also with the toilet with the kids seat on it it seems if not really careful and make sure sat right back and holding penis down it pokes out front of seat and goes everywhere - seems odd to me - almost seems like the hole in the seat is not deep enough?

Has he continued with this? DS sounds very like your DS2 - he is fine with wee's and uses toilet all day at daycare, but have only managed one poo on potty ever. Home or daycare he just won't go on toilet or potty - he knows he shouldn't do it and always apologieses but makes no attempt to get to the toilet. I have sent him to daycare in undies a few times, if he doesn't need a poo he is fine, but he has just poo'd in his undies a couple of times, and I don't really think is fair on them to have to deal with that. (Especially as he does the biggest poos they have ever seen! apparently :-))

Yau Jaycee! That is awesome!

So our nudie rude keeps going, lots more misses. Basically all I'm doing it when she is doing a wee I grab her sit her on the pot and say 'wees go on the pot'.. Not sure if she has clued on yet.
She has been off all morning, we were at playgroup and she spent the whole time crying, we left early and on the way home she kept saying sore, and i tried to work out what was sore, she did point to her belly sometimes. So I thought ?maybe she has a sore belly? It could just be the heat making her cranky.
We got home, did nudie rude again, and I spotted her doing a little wee so grabbed her to sit her on the pot but she was fighting me, and going sore! And crying, I got her to sit and asked if wees are sore, and then noticed she was doing a poo. So I don't know if it sore, or was just the feeling of doing it was uncomfortable for her...
I did get a poo on the pot tho!

How is everyone going? Ee don't seem to be msking any advancements. ..still just wees anywhere. .
One thing I have achieved tho is learning some poo signs! And I actually picked up she was about to do a poo and got her nappy off and held hrr on the loo and she did it in there! We dont have a seat for it tho..so she wasnt comfortable. Is it worth getting one? A friend has a built in one as part of her toilet seat, was pretty funky.

I have seen cool ones at Bunnings where the toddler toolet set lifts up into lid when not needed. unfortunately it didn't fit my toilet, cos they are more sturdy than the add on ones.

ds is keen to nude up,but not quite into wees on the toilet. have had a few poos on toilet,but only one wee so far. not pushing it at.all at the.moment, just.going with the flow.

dd has been day since 2.5 yrs, but still wears pull up at night. we have had couple dry nights lately, which is very exciting. making sure she 'tries' to wee before bed has made big difference. on dry mornings, she has run for loo in the morning. wonder if on other gays, she knows it is wet so wees again or is only weeing on wake up.

[~TT40~]

I think that is the one my friend had. You lift the seat, the adult one stays down, and the toddler one is in the lid, so you use it you just pull it down. It looked very solid because it was porcelain (or whatever loos are made out of) and all built in.
I d want to push Spock, I'm worried she will get an aversion and my pushing too hard will make her scared and fight it....
Great work on your dd1!

Hello, thought I'd pop in, DD recently turned two, loves sitting on the toilet hasn't yet connected it with actually going to the toilet except the other day when she did a big wee! Yay! But it may have been random as she still runs away to avoid a dirty nappy being changed and this morning after doing a poo undid her nappy (which I didn't notice as she still had her jimjams on) and when I asked her if she had done a poo on account of the free for all smell, my girl who usually says yes or no honestly and straight away, said no!

Anyway I am so clueless, I don't even know what the signs of readiness are. Is there a sticky or article someone can point me to? Astrolady's sticky on TT information does not click through...

I'm going to jump in here too. Little Miss E who is almost 20 months has decided nappies are for babies. She is amazing, she recognises the urge to wee so she takes herself to the potty, does what she has to do then comes to me saying "hands, hands" so that I can wash her hands. I think she is probably getting it right about 80 - 90% of the time without any pushing from me so I am in awe! Not quite so successful with poo, its like she can't quite tell when its finished so jumps up then poos on the floor a few minutes later. I'm thinking I need to get her some knickers and just bite the bullet and let her wear them rather than nappies but I'm so scared of going out and her peeing in the middle of a shop or something

Ladylove - E started saying "wee, wee" and looking anxious when she had gone in her nappy, then one day during bare bum time, she just sat herself on the potty and went. Came running to us saying "wee, wee" and lo and behold, wee in the potty. We've had potties sitting out on the floor for about a month now so that they could get used to just sitting on them whenever they wanted.

DD is used to and loves sitting on the big toilet but even with a step she cannot get herself up there by herself. She can climb on but not sort of twist herself around the open hole to get into position. I didn't want to use a potty though.

my ds is similar with the step. he can do it, but it is awkward and in a rush it's no good.

I think my dd just ditched the ladder/seat early and used a step and perched on the seat. I saw great inbuilt toddler seat at Bunnings but it didn't fit our loo.

Ps since the first toilet wee she had done two more! babe #2 is due in a few weeks though so I'm not keen to push / accelerate TT right now.

[TeniBear]

POO! ON THE TOILET! Without me asking her if she needed to go! I didn't even know she was on the toilet until she called out for help wiping!!!! I'm so happy, can you tell?

Now to get her to wear undies...

[~TT40~]

Go miss A!! And go Teni!!

So E is almost 21 months. With a bare bum, she is awesome, rarely has an accident and just takes herself to the potty often. With pants or training pants not quite so much success. She is such an independent little thing and if she has something on her bum, I don't know if it's because she assumes it's a nappy or because she is only just developing the coordination to attempt to undress herself, she has accidents. I'm fine with bare bum at home but can't do this so much at daycare and I don't want her to regress from what she has achieved so far. She is pretty good at telling me that she needs to go but any suggestions for little miss independence?

I feel very jealous of everyone success, as my DS is 3 in a month and wont go near the toilet. Every time I ask or try to take him, he says no and has a tanty.
He doesn't want to wear his nappies as they are two small and they are the largest disposals I can get. He is over a metre tall and over 25kilos..... a big boy.
I really don't know where to start or how to change his mind about the toilet. He is too big to sit on a potty..

any advice or hints of articles I could ready would be great.

Having trouble getting ds to sit on the potty or toilet as they are "too cold". Will we in the shower though and on the garden outside.
