Potty training

Just wondering if anyone out there is in the very niche experience that is potty training twins?

Boys are 2yr 9 months. We had an unsuccessful try over the summer but since going back to nursery in September their speech has improved so gave in and started again. Currently day 5, loosely following Oh Crap! Method.

Both boys have mastered wee's. Poo is going in the potty but is a bit of a traumatic experience.
Gave a try with lose trousers earlier in the week but failed miserably as they just wet in them. DT1 is very stubborn. DT2 is enjoying bribery.

Any tips, solidarity or just 🍷 gratefully appreciated.

Our twin girls are 2 years 1 month and we have just started with the oh crap method. It’s so hard with two! You need eyes in the back of your head. One seems stubborn but I think we were over prompting, and the other one just seems confused. We are going to stick with it though and battle through - I think we haven’t been very consistent so are working on that.

Sending 🍷 and sorry I don’t have any tips.

We have persisted and seem to have hit a turning point.
DT2 is dry all day, including poo.
DT1 is stubborn and we had to stop prompting all together. If left to it he will just take himself to the potty and wee. Which is a problem for nursery as he has to ask to leave the room but then has a tantrum.

He currently saves his poop for his night nappy but I'm happy for now as the battle appears to be nearing the end.

Thanks for the 🍷, hopefully you don't need as much of it as I have 😂
