Who's going through toilet training right now?

[Janie71]

Oh well done Cass' DS2! What a clever boy.

We are doing well here also. DD is in her 5th day in big girl undies and did so very well yesterday - only 1 wees accident and that was because they were in the middle of coming in from outside (at nursery) so the teacher thinks she just didn't want to say that she needed to go. She is regularly telling me now that she needs to do wees and getting to the toilet in time. We have been driving to work the past 3 days and had no accidents in the car. Poos - I think she is holding it in a bit to be honest. She is normally a 1-2 times a day girl and she seems to be going some days without any and other days she is timing it when she has her night nappy on. One step at a time I guess!

Hehehe. It's always a nervous trip in the car Janie! We haven't had any "accidents" so far but as soon as we get to where we are going I head straight to the nearest loo!

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,

Well, Friday he came home in the same pair of pants that we sent him in. No accidents! Every wee was on the toilet. I thought we where there.... argh, big mistake!Saturday morning was nothing but wet pants and wet floors. Today we are having a better day with more in the toilet than on the floor or in his pants.

Chocoholic - did you try jocks on your DS?

Trish - my LO is also waking up around 230-3am each morning. This morning I put him onto the toilet and then DH put him back to bed. When he woke up (at a reasonable time) I put him back on the toilet.

EmmaJane - I was talking DS2s CC carer on Friday and she said that often asking them if they want to go to the toilet or putting them on the toilet (and then getting off again) is enough to "trigger" a wee. She said it was really common for them to get off a toilet or potty and wee straight away. One other thing she said was to not get upset when they seem to go really well at childcare but nothing but accidents at home: they seem to "get it" quicker at childcare.

Feeb - we are also fascinated with putting things in the toilet: it's his new best friend! I've found all manner of things in there. Creditcards (when he's been in my wallet), toy phones, puzzle pieces, blocks, toothbrush ... um, yes! we do was everything properly and some things just get thrown out!

Bubno.3 & Fleur - I have no idea, but sounds like you might both be experiencing the same thing.

It's a messy (and FRUSTRATING) process, but I think we are making progress!

Poop and wee on the floor for us. I can never seem to catch his wee's in time but during the day DS just walks around nakey when its hot.
We have 3 potties placed around the house but he doesn't like to sit on them. So it is going to be a long journey for us just like with DS1 and he still wears pull ups to bed as he wets the bed pretty bad.

I have found out recently from my mum that I wet the bed up until the age of 8 :reface: which means that it could be likely that DS1 will too for a while at least?

We will just keep plodding along

We are jumping on the TT train as well. DS1 is 2.5 and he has done the occasional wee on the toilet for a while and will go at kindy too but I haven't felt ready with a new baby on the way/newborn. Yesterday my mum bought him a "cars" potty and he loves it! I put him in terry toweling "training" pants and he did a few wees (prompted) and did a poo in his pants as he didn't make it in time. This morning he went of his own volition and then went twice again tonight, even though he had a nappy on!!! So I guess we are on our way...

Sounds like it!

We now have success with poos. Yesterday and today. Plus no accidents since Wednesday last week. So proud of my big girl. Looks like she needed just that extra little push from us.

Oh and to top it off the past 2 days she has dropped her day sleep. I thought she was getting close as it was taking her up to an hour and a half to go to sleep! Yesterday she was in bed at 7pm and asleep by 7.15am. Didn't hear from her until 6am this morning. Perfect!

We tried for 14 - Yes FOURTEEN weeks from just before DD was 2 1/2, tried bribery, potty, stickers, toilet step, undies, no nappies. All I got was every day sees and pops everywhere and not once did she ask to go to, or take herlf to the toilet. Everyone kept saying she wasn't ready, but all the other kids in Mother's Group (so the same age) were toilet trained. I gave up just before Christmas and we went back into nappies full time. A week after Christmasa, cold turkey, no nappies (I count Pullups as nappies as DD knew they were nappies) and whilst I am still a key driver for the potty (she prefers it to the toilet) she regularly takes herself, hasn't wet her bed during daytime nappies yet either. Still wearing nappies at night (one step at a time!!) but it's so true that you can't rush it. Age is just a guide. Also HiGHLy recommend Brooklyn sheets. Easy to change the bed if there are any accidents.
