potty training toddler

[totallyslummymummy]

Help need advice from mums who've potty trained a toddler when they also have another small baby.

Any tips when you are being pulled in two directions at all times and find it hard to dedicate all the time/energy necessary to successfully train toddler?

My advice would be to try and get the first two 'wet' days started when your partner is home. Give yourself plenty of time to get all the washing sorted first so you don't get bogged (excuse the pun) down with wet pants. And don't feel like anyone has failed if you need to give up and try again later.

Shouldn't really need training in my opinion. If the toddler is ready then taking nappy off and leaving them to it whilt gently reminding them that if they need a wee then use the potty or toilet.

You may be house bound for a few days but with my ds it was just easy. He had just turned 2.3 and was ready. Although is now 3 and nowhere near being dry at night.

Good luck, remember not to stress about it. Accidents will happen but they should be minimal if he/ she is ready.

ok i will try and just go with the flow as it were... thanks for reassurances

i agree with traintastic. my dd2 is using potty now at 2.5. tried a few times since she was 2 and like you was not able to dedicate the time with a 5 month old in the house. in the end she just took her nappy off and sat on the potty one day. she has been fine since with just a few accidents. i would just leave the potty out and let her get on with it
