I keep putting off potty training - help!

Just go for it. I would try for a few days mostly at home. IMO the best thing you can do is just stop with nappies or pull ups. The accidents in the car etc are all part of the learning process and the “just in case” pull ups only serve to delay the process.

Just commit and aslong as your child isn’t distressed by it crack on. Chocolate buttons were useful for me as rewards. Neither of mine needed more than cheering etc.

DC1 we did it cold turkey... First 3 days were hard, but once it clicked he got it. We didn't do any of the 'potty every 30 minutes just to try'... We just waited and if he started to wee we'd say 'wee goes in the potty' and take him to the potty to finish. By day 4 it'd clicked and he knew the feeling that he needed a wee and we were sorted. Nights shortly followed after that and he was dry at night the next month. DC2 was the same for days, but took longer for nights - it wasn't until they were 5 that they were dry at night. I'd recommend going cold turkey. Have a potty nearby, lots of puppy pads, and just try it. I personally don't believe in the 'visit the potty every 30 mins' as they don't learn what the sensation of a full bladder feels like then. At least with the cold turkey method you learn the feeling that precedes suddenly weeing.

How old? We had a week off work and just decided to go for it with DD (aged just over 2.5). I read up on lots of methods and did a mix of them- talked to her about how nappies were only for night time now, then no nappy or trousers day 1 and stayed home, watched her like a hawk and took her to toilet or potty every time she had an accident, celebrated like mad when even a tiny bit of pee got in the potty and built up on it from there. On day 4 we’d had so many accidents we were on the verge of quitting but we kept going and 4 weeks on she will now let you know every time she needs to go and hasn’t had any accidents in last 2 weeks.

Talk about it A LOT, like how you and Daddy go in the toilet, read books, go shopping for pants and then just go for it. Lots of praise any time something ends up in the toilet. Personally I didn’t bother with a potty and went straight to a seat on the regular toilet because adding a potty just seems like a pointless extra step.

How old is your child?

honestly I just got time off and committed.
it was a Friday AM to Monday PM job.

it was nerve wracking and tiring 48-72hr were the worst and when I wanted to give up and I have never watched my child so intently…

but honestly by Tuesday we were there ish.
I few accident la since but she’s 2.5 and potty trained.

definitely do it in summer.
now is the perfect time tbh.

Now is a great time to do it, when you have summer holidays and hot weather meaning they can run around outside with not much on. Winter is a nightmare with the endless heavy layers!

How old is your child? Are they showing signs they are ready? Mine is just over 2 and starting to tell us when her nappy is dirty and wanting to take her nappy off and sit on the potty. We take her to the potty when she points at her nappy but she has usually gone by then. I took am putting off doing it properly!
