She says to me that she thinks mothers today are to engrossed in doing other things and going out everyday and thus leave it too late! She had three boys then me, so she has experience! Her easy tips;
1)Always begin around age 2.
2)Stay indoors for around a week and offer potty regularly.
3) Never go back.
I have to admit she can get on my nerves about some things in life, but the thing is she is normally right!
We became another one of her sucess stories.
My dd was clean/dry aound 2, it took about a week, then I've just followed same idea with ds and 5 days in all seems good. He was 2 last month, I was so proud yesterday when he travelled down two flights of stairs to get to his potty to poo, all his own idea!
It has been boring but hopefully the worse bit is over and we can enjoy being nappy free!
Oh and she was right when she couldn't believe my dd was still using nappies at night nearly 4 , we didn't want to face wet sheets etc! But our daughter admitted she literally used to wake-up and then wee in her nappy because she was too lazy to get-up!
I think I probably will save a few quid getting my son dry at night earlier.
