Who's going through toilet training right now?

[Amaunet]

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!

Hi guys. How old are all your kiddies? My dd is 2 years 7 months. I feel like I need to get her out of nappies cause she seems so old. She will do a wee on the toilet if I ask her to and occasionally tells me she wants to do a poo, but most of the time does it in her nappy and tells me once it's over. Any tips suggestions? She goes to kindy 2 days a week when I work and the other days she goes to the child minding at the gym for one hour. Other than that she is home with me and her 9 month old sister.

DD2 is toilet training but we are taking a relaxed approach, she's nappy free (undies are too big for her...lol) most of the day and will tell us if she needs to go to the toilet, if she wants a nappy on, I'll put one on her, not fussed, we've got plenty of time.

my dd is almost 21 months, i only put nappy on her at bed time, but will get rid of it soon as she is waking up dry, she doesnt really have accidents during the day anymore, maye one if that, she is at kindy 2 days and im not impressed that sometimes there she will have 4, i get she is busy but even when we go out shopping she is in knickers and i take her to toilet, i told the kindy i think they rnt doin the job right shouldnt be that many,
my first daughter now 8 was fully toilet trained night and day by age 2, we dont push either just let them go when they are ready and have always watched us go and we never used a potty just straight to big toilet,
my little one is tiny t0 only about 78cm tall, so i help her on, hubby made a step that fit round toilet so its good size to help

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.
