1. this is for any kid over hte age of 2
2. imo the best age ie 2 - 2.5
3. there is NO going bakc

do not start if oyu are going ot poof out

1. remmeber it is hard work - hence hte training - yes life will be more difficult for a couple of weeks
2. do NOT use pull ups for day time naps or anythin short of a 2 hour journey
3. night training is a wholey seperate issue

so wots with dd not doing poos then !!! think may be expecting too much for 1st day eh !!

alittlebitshy , you seem to always say what I feel !!! sooo weird thinking no nappies today when dping dd's nappy tonight.

melsy so over expcentnt iwht pos fgs! give her a chance

we're expecting a stinky whopping poo in nappy in morning!!!!!!!!!!!!

god this thread is a lifeline- thanks cod and everyone!!!!!!!

melsy if our dds are one and the samne, do feel free to take over .

i am finding this all harder and more frustrating than i thought. i hate being stuck in. but i know it would be worse for us both if we went out.

Yes I KNOW bingo stingo , I did say gaaaaaaaawwd!!!!!

yes me dreading being home alone for days on end, just spent weeks alone being very poorly. Good job I can chat with you lot about it. Was pleading with my younger sis to come and keep me company this week.

ummmmmm may be No taking over from you alittlbitshy, think Id blow a gasket or pop out babs to early!!!!! . We can commiserate or join togteher in the pure joy of wee not on the floor!!!

am wondering if life will ever be the same. as i sit here reeling in the shock of the day, ie i have a dd who does wees not in a nappy, who i'll have to take to loos when out, who now won;t look so behind (she is soo so tall, and i am sure peole think i am babying here... she isn't yet 3 though).

wow!

feel as if life is only behing these doors forom now on thouhg. will we ever take steps outside???

lol melsy!!!!

I don't remember DS1 being this much of a nightmare to toilet train, but I had the whole of the summer holiday to tackle it in (work in a school), this time I started in half term & then had to hand it to my Mum & MIL when I went back to work. MIL often put him back in a pull up after a couple of accidents despite me asking her not to & I think this may have set him back a bit.
He now almost seems to wait for me to put his pull up on for bed before pooing!

Wow, we have some very advanced 2 year olds on here!
If I told my ds to choose his own pants (24 months) he would just look at me stupidly, he wouldn't have the foggiest what I was on about! Ditto if I 'explained' to him about using the potty for pee-pees!

If you don't want accidents, may I recommend my own method that I have yet to try, securing a small drinks bottle to your child's willy (course this only works with boys). When he wees it will make a lovely sound alerting him and you! No more hidden puddles on the floor!

I may market this product!

Dd says she doesn't want a nappy on for bed...
What shall I do?

DID IT!!!
it worked thanks Cod!
Went cold turkey, no nappy, no pull ups, half hourly toiletting at first and we did it in about a week.
You were right, pull ups ARE the work of the devil, complete waste of time and money and completely confusing.

Going to leave it a month or so before tackling night time training.
LISTEN TO THE FISH SHE KNOWS.....

DS seems to be weeing every 30-40 minutes - is this normal or does it mean he has too little bladder control to be potty trained??

Day 2 today, better than yesterday. about half wees were caught, and half in pants. red bucket in garden made it all more exciting as did sweets.

Day 4 and the weeing thing is sorted, she couldn't care less about getting stickers and sweeties for it now, but we did nearly have a 'poo incident' when she went back to her old ways of running behind the curtains to do it. Luckily I caught on in time and it hadn't quite come out yet - was able to bundle her on the potty. Phew.

Doesn't help that I have had mastitis and am cream crackered, whilst dh is doing the dying flippin swan on the sofa with 'mild' tonsillitis (dr's opinion, obviously not dh's...).

Right am joining this thread as of Tuesday.
DS alerted to the fact that there will be NO nappies tomorrow.
New pants today.
Supply of choc eggs.
Have prepared big basket of pants/trousers/socks for accidents.
No going out tomorrow.
Or the next day.
Or the day after that.
Cod there is a present for you in this if you keep me going.

welcome pruni.
argh!!!!!! think am more nervous for day 2 than i was day 1

Christ, don't tell me that!!

yerr same here alittlebitshy , its a bit liek dread, knowing whats to come

hello pruni , did u go on the retreat ?

your made of tougher stuff than me Pruni , Im lightweight being pg.

Phew so glad today is over and dreading tomorrow - but maybe she will wee in the loo at least once!!!

Hi girls, I started day one today, haven't looked at this thread before now though. I lost thew will to live when DS came running in for the 4th time saying 'wee-wee' after already having 'gone' in his pants. We got through 10 pairs of pants today, not one wee or poo in the potty.

I don't know whether to continue tomorrow or give up for a few months. Should I persevere?

He's 2 at the end of April.

Okey dokey, tally for day 1 in casa Passionflower:

Wees in pants 3
Poo on floor 1 (was bum out in desperate pant saving measure)

DH was just starting to huff and puff about DD3 not being ready when (she was playing on him with bum out) she said wee, got on the pot and weed in it!

All three DD's got a treat so now DD's 1 & 2 are helping with the potty training. They keep asking DD3 if she needs the pot in a hopefull voice. They will do anything for a M&S jelly baby.

Well all is quiet in the house of Flip and no more presents being left in ds1's room by piddling ds2. Still no poo which I expected and I think dh put him in a nappy for bed. Not sure. Had gone to neighbours for a well deserved coffee.

Will continue tomorrow as much as possible but outlaws are having him for the day and I will insist that they continue as I have or else they're not taking him.

I think boys pooing in pants is a nightmare situation. I know that ds1 was doing it up until aged six. A couple of times a month I'd get called into school to deal with his soiled clothes. And yes, I threw up everytime. Maybe it was me chucking up that he enjoyed and that's why he did it. Must try and have a stronger stomach with ds2. Although not winning so far. Just emptying wee out of potty into toilet and I'm wretching.

Hi Melsy! no I didn't...(go on the retreat)
we had no cash so I gave up on the idea
really regret not going but sthg for the future.
looked really good, didn't it?
