why do we have to go to tesco and be back in acouple of hours

Is this like FLY-poo?

lol mamag

I'm going to watch this thread because dd has gone waaay backwards with the toilet.

Will repost the point we're at here seeing as it's a new thread!

Position we're in is that technically we started "training" ds2 in half term. He's got the point with wees, but (unless he's supposed to be going to bed and is delaying) he doesn't initiate going to the toilet himself so I have to remember the last time he went and make sure I take him in time. About every 1.5 hours seems to be the magic number at the moment, unless he's had squash (at toddler group or nursery) in which case I have to take him every hour.

Some days are fine, no accidents, other days I'm continually changing him and washing clothes. I know he can do it because it's extremely rare he has an accident at nursery and that's 3 hours long.

We haven't had a single poo on the potty or the toilet. All in pants or night-time nappy. I've got to the stage now where I really want to tell him he can choose to do it in his nappy or the toilet as long as he doesn't do it in his pants - not sure if that will help or hinder though! This part is the bit that is really getting me down to be honest.

On the other hand, he's doing better in one respect than his brother at a similar age - he'll use a real toilet when we're out. With ds1 I was dragging a potty around with me for months. Makes life so much easier not having to.

So anyway, I think my real big goal is to get him to not poo in his pants. I can cope with the having to time to get to the loo for a while. It's dealing with poo encrusted pants my patience is wearing thin with...

Ha - COD, what do you do if your toddler WON'T wear pants? huh? huh?

She's totally dry during the day - it has taken a week [smug] ... and has completely done it herself with no prompting [double smug] ... will go anywhere etc etc but wants to wear a nappy (it is Never Wet!) ... so she's in pull ups as I can't be ar$ed to take off/put on the nappy every time ...

Trauma every time the pants are even mentioned - what to do????

Georgina, not sure Cod would approve, but have just potty trained ds and what worked for him were chocolate buttons for poos. He was VERY reluctant to do a poo on the potty or loo and kept going in his pants or off into a corner to do it on the floor (behind the TV was a favourite spot). Stickers worked for wee but he seemed to be scared of poos. Chocolate buttons were a sufficient reward to get him over his fear! I was worried that he'd demand buttons for ever more but after about a week he just stopped asking for them. Worth a try.

Ds has diarrhoea this morning

can you send a large cork please cod?

I better explain our situation more clearly too, hadn't I.

DD (3.1) was potty trained from January this year, was using the toilet in April and started taking herself in May.
Obviously tons have happened since like the new baby and moving but she wets herself on average 3 times a day, regardless of prompting, actually taking her etc.
Have tried star charts, sticker charts, picture charts, sweets, you name it we've done it.

So what do we do now?

georgine sitck wiht it
ime they haev to be told to go for a hhile as lets face it ther are more interesting things to do than go to the loo.
re poo i dunno- b oys are odd
how old?

GHosty
dont buy nappies then she cant have htem

*edaM8 HEARTUILY apporve of birbery

ghposty you hae obviously GIVEN IN re napiues and she has caught you out! Be hard dont have any
also has she a favourite auntie or one of your mates who c na take her out to bu special pants?

edam am trying that today but is now getting worked up that a poo hasn't miraculously arrived in the potty - think it's over stressing him really

I am trying to not remind him today though (again, not in the bootcamp rules ) as I think he's relying on me too much to tell him to go and not the sensation. He's been for a wee twice this morning

Cod he's 2 years 6 months.

Sorry, mean that I'm suggesting every now and then rather than telling him he must go - seems to have got us out of a stubborn impasse...

ooh yes he must be in pants
ds2 was crap wiht poos

i BET the days he si crap wiht wees are days you are really busy?

try sweets in the loo

suggetsign deosnt COST anythign though does it?
dont worry one day youll notice you haevnt said anythign and you wont rememebr when you s topped

Hmmm... no distinct pattern tbh on days he does well/days he doesn't. Although I have noticed that drinking squash rather than water is an issue, as I mentioned earlier so that may well be a big factor.

It's funny isn't it... I obviously got through it with ds1... but the memory of how is just a big haze

thast GOOD hting ime
try bannign squash

I'm sad that dd2 is too young to join this boot camp

it's the most enjoyable thread of the morning for some reason

The squash ban is hard to implement unfortunately - he doesn't have it when he's at home (don't even buy the stuff) only water. It's only really when it's out of my control.

We've had our first accident of the day. Watching TV and not paying attention I think. He did a MINISCULE poo on the potty afterwards though when I made him sit while I got clean clothes (everything was drenched even his top and jumper!) so we did the fanfare and chocolate buttons

well done! was he pleased?

Very

He's at nursery now, so it's all out of my hands for a few hours.... (AND relax )
