Help My DD refuses point blank to go on her potty

[Darciesmum]

Is driving me mad! she hates it screams when its out, and will stand next to it and pee when she's so close she could sit down, what do i do?

have you tried a potty chair? - you can get them from mothercare and the like. They look abit more comfy than a little potty. My ds kicked up a fuss with a little potty as they are quite uncomfy. was fine when i got him the chair.

Try going straight to the loo? How old is she? How long has she been out of nappies?

DS1 will quite happily go on a padded seat on the toilet but will not use a potty. I have tried loads of different ones and he just hates them all. He even put one down the toilet! He seems a little scared of it. It is apain as I am bfing at the mo and it is rubbish having to run up th stirs with dd attached to my boob!

Might be worth a try?

both my dd s hated the potty

went straight to the toilet

easier in the long run anyway

How old is she?

DS1 did his first wee on the potty last week [yay] but was a potty refusenik for AGES before that (he's three in a week).

He will now sit on the potty before his bath, I tickle his back and talk about his day and sometimes he wees.

We're going to move house in about three weeks, hence my softly-softly approach, but he's getting there.

My DD will be 2 on friday, shes ready to go come out of nappies as she tells you when she needs to go.
Maybe i should try the toilet seat are they any good?

Hunker i try that every morning and every evening before bath time and refuses to sit on it, real struggle but don't want to push her onto it iyswim

TBH i would try the toilet and if not maybe wait a while until she happier with the situation. She is still very young.

my ds has just turned 2 and hates the potty and the padded toilet seat. He says, 'No no no no no' and goes rigid.
He also tells me when he needs or has done a poo but I can't force him to go to the toilet so I am just waiting till he is ready.

Thanks for the advice ladies so trying the toilet it is

Just because she says when she needs to go doesn't mean that she's made the leap in understanding to let herself/want to goin the potty or loo. I really wouldn't push it if I were you - she is still pretty young.
