Potty training advice

0 replies

I'm just looking for some advice please. I've started potty training my little girl (22 months old).. first couple of days we mostly stayed in with nothing on, and I did reminders ect, by Sunday she was taking herself to the potty. Monday was her first day at nursery (day 5 of potty training) and she did amazing; only 1 accident all day. Then today, she's had accidents all day (3 wees and 2 poos). I know they're busier on a Tuesday so potentially they haven't had the same amount of time to be taking her / reminding her. Her poos are still quite loose and so it made a bit of a mess (not nice for her or them!) it's also a forest school type nursery so they are outside a lot so it's not like she can just take herself to the potty as she does at home.

I'm going to continue as we are at home. Mainly bare bum / pants if nipping out. But I'm trying to think of a solution for nursery next Monday. I saw the huggies day time training pants which claim they're good for allowing children to know if wet etc. I wondered if I put her in these but ask them to continue to take her to the toilet etc; treat them as pants but at least if she does have a poo accident they wouldn't make such a mess!

I have a couple of pairs of the thicker pants with some absorbency but they're useless with a full wee or poo!
