    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...

    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.
