A friend of mine told me I had to "let go" and just go out already! So we went out day 2 of toilet training, and apart from naps and nighttime have not used nappies at all while out or at home. Thought it would be confusing, like other PP. I bought a padded fold up toilet seat and put that in the nappy bag and also had a small potty in the boot of the car, and just went for it. We had maybe a couple of accidents, but the accidents are part of the learning process I think.. oh look I just peed on the floor, next time I should tell mum a bit sooner.
We also went commando for a few days as I read that this feels more "different" to them than undies and so discourages accidents. Seemed to work.
He got used to public toilets pretty quickly and now seems to enjoy the experience!
i am currently training our little girl to, she is 20.5 months old,
hubby made a step for our loo and she has loved sitting on it for months now,
just the last few days now i let her wear no knickers or nappy at home and she comes to me when she needs to go, and i sit her on toilet and she goes,
i am still putting a nappy on her at bed time but will prolly take that away in about a week or 2 cause she isnt waking up with a wet nappy its dry.
she sometimes has no accidents during day, at most she has had 3 accidents they were at kindy though, (she goes to kindy 2 days a week) so i think thye just arent paying attention
our first daughter who is now 8 was fully trained day and night by age 2. we never forced this on them, kids get it when they get it, we have also let them come to bathroom with us anytime dont shut doors and we never use a potty as i think that sometmes stops them using other ppls toilets or when your out a park
even when i go out now i leave knickers on her and take her to the toilet at shops or park each time i go also, (she does need work holding a bit more cause somtimes she doesnt tell you anything just stands holding her legs closed saying mummy mummy, and if im not payng attention by talking to someone else she will start to pee,
