Saffi - I found with T at first I had to leave her out of a nappy, no undies, just a bare bum (although she can't dress herself like your little man!) and she would go to the potty (I know you didn't want to hear that), as I just think even with the little seat ontop of the toilet seat , the toilet was just too big and daunting for her. I just left the potty near where she was playing and she'd just take herself then tell me when she was done, after a few days of that she'd say 'mummy wee' as she was running to the potty, then after a couple of weeks of bare bum undies were easy. She will now go to the big toilet with no probs at all, it was only those first few weeks she didn't like it. I find cleaning out the potty only take a few secs (although I only have 1 littly on my hands), I tip it into the toilet, rinse it out, wipe it out with toilet paper then give it a spray with Glen20. All the little kiddlings are different, but thats what worked with us. I just thought it was worth mentioning. GL with it all, I'm sure he's not far off if he's doing so well at DC.
My goodness 6 months has gone super fast! Wowee, sounds like a nice idea DH having time off when she starts DC, it's lovely having grown up time.
I think Miss T maybe a little confused! She seems to think I have milk in my belly along with the bubby. She has been telling my to give her babies milk, then pulling up my shirt and patting my belly saying 'milk mummy bubby need milk'. I did tell her the other day that mummies boobies will make milk when bub comes out, but then she wanted me to put bubby up to my boob to feed her which I must admit I wasn't really comfortable with, so I just told her that I don't have any milk just yet, so I just sat her bub on my belly and T was happy with that. Is it too confusing for her when I try to talk to her about BF??? Maybe I shouldn't be saying things like that until after bub is born and just let her keep thinking I have milk in my belly.... I know it's a strange thing to ask but I'd really like you thought ladies??? Sorry, I know its a little left of field!
