DD is 2 in a couple of weeks, thought I would give TT a go, she tells me when she wee's or poo's likes sitting on the toilet for fun. We have spent the past 2 days home in undies (previously was doing an hour or two in undies whenever it suited us both). After the 2 days nothing had changed an today she sort of called it quits by saying undies too big and getting a nappy. Since being in a nappy everytime she has wee'd or pooed she says she is doing it and then looks a bit confused it isn't making a mess, its like she doesn't know whether to go to the toilet or not.
So just wondering what I should do from here, should I still whenever she tells me she is doing something take her to the toilet or just give it a complete break (maybe instead just saying something like"thank you for telling me lets go change your nappy") and try again in a few months time?
Do whatever you are happy with but if it was me I'd persevere. What about letting her run around without pants? Keep taking her to the toilet even if she's already done something. She'll connect it eventually. If you're consistent it usually takes a month or so of accidents minimum. She really does sound like she's ready. Both my girls were fully TT before age two so it is possible. We were very relaxed about it too Good luck x
I would go for it - strike while the iron is hot! If shes interested then go for it.
But if you do, DONT go back to nappies - its just too confusing. Take a few days and stay at home if you can, keep her in pants and then put her on the toilet periodically (like every half hr or so) then if she does something - make a HUGE deal out of it!
Both my girls got the hang of it really quickly, and soon learnt to go when they needed to, and we didn't need to take them all the time.
It can be hard work, but just be consistent and stick with it!
All the best
