Ginger, I think the putting them on the toilet comes down to the fine art of judging frequency. Every half hour, bad idea. Half and hour after a drink and a snack, good idea. Maybe have a few more conversations about poo at a time when it's not happening. My DH cracks it sometimes and I try to tell him the carry-on is what is delaying the whole process here. But as I revealed a couple of days ago we are OLD so it is probably a cranky OLD man thing .

Re the what to do when they are out and about - if we're going somewhere where it would be a massive inconvenience, I will still put her in pull ups - but basically I'm just packing multiple sets of clothes and *lots* of wipes. Come what may. I think just resorting to pull ups everytime it's convenient has been holding us back, eg, when she's in pull ups I'm not so focussed on keeping my eye on her and getting her to toilet every time.
