Am I too late to join bootcamp? Dd1 is 2.9 months, we started potty training in november when she was 2.6 months. It started ok and hshe go the hang pretty quickly. but, it's the poos. She prefers to do them in her knickers, anywhere but the potty or toilet. This morning I asked her if she was doing a poo and she said yes, I pulled her trousers down just in time to catch it and chuck it in the loo (thank god we were in the bathroom!), the rest went in the potty. it was a bit gross, although I obviously didn't say that to her! i tried to be all calm about catching my own daughters poo, but as dh said to me just now when he came home, "I bet you were thinking, 'I didn't sign up for this!'" Wees are ok, she does them reliably, only 1 or 2 accidents a week, if that, mainly when she's really tired, just before a nap.
Shall I start with star charts and choccy button bribery? ANyone else struggling with the poos? I also need advice on how I should deal with the poos? Neutral?? supportive lots of hugs?? I try not to lose it, but sometimes I have to leave the room for about 15 minutes to calm down
