anyone tried straight from nappies to toilet

[knat]

My dd is 2.4 and we are pottyt rainig at the moment. After 7 days - nothing in the potty although she will nwo sit on it (not v often) and she does knwo when she's doing a wee and tells me what it is which is progress (beleive me) I wondered about taking her straight to the toilet and whether she would be better with that although i don't want to confuse her having said we do wee wees and poos in the potty (and she knows that) if i ask where she should have done the wee wee she tells me and points to the potty - or shoud i just perservere andhope she connects one day!!! Any tips greatly appreciated. Not interested in stickers or surprisingly rewards of chocolate (even tho she loves it and doesn't get it that often!)

my DS hardly used the potty - he was too big for it really - his knees were up round his ears. He went pretty much straight onto the toliet with one of those trainer seat things on it so he wouldn't fall down. Makes more sense - your DD might want to copy you and I assume you use the toilet!

3 of my 4 children hardly used the potty at all but went straight from nappies to toilet. The exception ws my youngest who was trained 6 months ago and still sometimes whips out the potty and uses it. He certainly needs me to put him on the toilet evry time still.

I would say the advantages of the potty is that it is mobile (so you can have it with you in any room - useful when they are just starting) and it is accessible to the child when they become a bit more used to potty training and can advance to using it without your immediate help.

Just a thought.

My ds was a bit of a climber and hated the potty so went, more or less, straight to the toilet. dd will more than likely need the potty because there is no way she would be able to get herself up on to the loo for a while. Why not offer her the choice?

If she sees mummy using the toilet it shouldn't confuse her too much.

Hi

I have a ds which I'm trying to potty/toilet train so will post for advice on that seperately.

I toilet trained my mindee around that age and she went straight to the toilet with a softie seat and now goes without seat most of the time (she's 3 next week). It was SO easy for me going straight to the toilet as there was no problems using public toilets and she soon got the hang of weeing on the grass if having a picnic or something.

Having said that, all children are different so all you can do is try
