potty traing dd with new baby on way ?!?

[lisanorcross]

Can anyone recomend a good book for introduce my DD (23 months) to the idea of potty training? or any good books with potty training advice. Also any tips in general for potty training. I'm expecting my second child in 6 weeks so was going to leave potty training till later but she is showing signs of readiness and poohed on potty other night after her bath - it was her own idea I suppose life will just get busier after birth of sibling so maybe should just go for it now? any ideas?

We bought this book for dd2 (26mths).

It has a star sticker chart with it which she loved and from doing her first wee on the potty about 3 weeks ago, she is now fully potty-trained (bar the odd accident) and dry at night as well.

Not much advice though 'I want my potty' was enjoyed in this house!! However its a great time to toilet train as you need to go so often too

Know Ive put this before but found it has worked for me with Mindees over the years.

POTTY TRAINING

Day 1 - 3 no clothes, ask if they want the potty, at least every 1/2 hour. Expect lots of accidents.

Day 4-7 Providing child is now making it to the potty, pants on, still reminding, first couple of days will result in wet pants, but by day 7, usually making it to the potty.

Day 7 onwards trousers on as well, still asking often, take potty EVERYWHERE with you.

If this doesn't work, would say the child isn't ready. Have done it with children from 20 months - 4 years, they are ready when they are ready, boys in general are later than girls, but saying that just had a boy dry at 22 months and a girl not till almost 4. !
