lol at the discrete turn of phrase... very glad to see poo? well yes in a way

sassy · 20/07/2007 11:30

dd is 2.6

Doing well as long as I remember to take her; still unreliable at taking herself.

Poos - almost always on toilet now (proud)

Wees - have averaged 1 pr wet pants per day for last 2-3 weeks. Peaked last weekend with 3-4 pairs each day. Dry all day tuesday and yesterday. today so far, so good.

thank goodeness cod is back

ds is 3.1
day 5 today. about 20 wees on the pot and 2 poos also on the pot. no accidents YET
he goes at least every half an hour, sometimes 3 times in the space of 10 minutes, which i think is all to do with chocolate button incentive. so when do you think i stop asking him if he needs to go and let him work it out by himself? and when can i get rid of the chocolate - he's going through 2 bags of buttons a day! (1 for a wee and 2 for a poo)

coddy · 20/07/2007 16:47

coddy · 20/07/2007 16:47

sorry no idea why keep gping was in ""

fedupwasherwoman · 20/07/2007 16:54

postgraduate news - not good

denies he needs a wee sometimes and wees in pants 10 mins later.

I'm even considering taking ds to GP's in case there is some underlying infection or something.

On average his wets himself every other day.

He was dry and fully toilet trained for almost a year so why is this happening ?

FlossALump · 20/07/2007 16:57

Hello! Well DS generally seems to do his daily poo on the potty. Apart from yesterday. He still needs prompting for a wee. And I am now only rewarding him for large wees iyswim - as he was weeing about 10mls and demanding sweeties... Went out yesterday with no nappy on, fine. Today we went to the cinema and so nappy was on...

mazzystar · 20/07/2007 17:24

good effort at sounding sincere with the cheerleading cod

ds is sitting bare-arsed on the potty watcing c-beebies. another of this week's finest parenting hours

fed up, do you think it could be the power of suggestion?

we have had one accident which he proclaimed "like the little princess". 5 wees and a poo on target, but only due to my vigilance. preceding the last of which he came into kitchen to find me and fidgeted and looked preoccumpied. asked him if he wanted to go and ran away all the way to front room and hid behind armchair giggling. not sure if that is progress.

how long does it take?...my nerves are in tatters already

coddy · 20/07/2007 17:43

day 6!!! very good imo

i went into nusery to complain that they were crap
and they improved
dont stand fo itt hey are your childs carer and you are p paying ofr it

Aefondkiss · 20/07/2007 17:50

poo in pants = 1

pees in pants = 2

pees on loo = lots (lost count)

he is quite stressed about pooing in pants and me trying to get pants off him, once the pants are off and he is clean he is happy to flush the poo away....

daisybo · 20/07/2007 18:27

in the last 5 minutes ds has produced 5 wees on the potty (or should i say 1 wee and 4 drips) he is now having a temper tantrum cos i wont give him ANOTHER chocolate....

penguinmum · 20/07/2007 18:41

sorry, missed roll-call last night, fell asleep after tea (potty training is exhausting )

DD 2.3, now on day 7, still occasional accident (2 yesterday, 1 on wednesday), and needs to be prompted to poo, but asking to wee - about 500 times a day! Need a downstairs loo!

So, do I graduate?

lissie · 21/07/2007 16:36

well, last night ds was all ready for bed, sitting on my lap then turned to me and said wee wee mummy, so he sat on the potty for abiut 10 mins and did the biggest wee ever what do i do now? he's been in pants all day (when we went out we put the feel n learn training pants on) do i take it as we have officially started?

daisybo · 21/07/2007 21:26

ok on day 6 now, no accidents at all yesterday
1 wee and 1 poo accident today, but he was at a birthday party and very over excited bless him

mazzystar · 21/07/2007 22:01

wow that sounds like progress!

day 7 today here
1 accident
all other emissions on target
still not asking to go
more stickers and sweeties purchased

sigh

fishie · 21/07/2007 22:23

we have been out all afternoon/evening ds has weeed twice in public loo. no accidents. i had a dream about duplo fire engine though.

he got up this morning took off (dry) nappy, went looking for potty and did a huge wee. jolly heck i think he has got it!

mazzystar · 22/07/2007 20:29

day 8
groundhog day
STILL not asking to go
ugh

Aefondkiss · 22/07/2007 22:20

dry pants today and yesterday, due to vigilance on parental part, plus (when away from home?) fantastic ability to hold in pee... we were away all day Saturday, ds did two big pees in public places, he will not go into public toilets, so he pees in the gutter atm... no poos this weekend, so no accidents... still feel we cannot graduate

tomorrow we will be 14 days into potty training and still no poo success....

mazzystar · 23/07/2007 09:44

afk, it sounds like he's doing pretty well - is he asking to go?
when will mine start asking? how can I make him? when? [whinge emoticon]

Aefondkiss · 23/07/2007 10:20

mazzy my ds doesn't ask, he will sometimes go if I say I am going to the loo, he will go first, he holds it in if we don't ask... it is quite impressive how long they can go without peeing, ds has been dry at night now for the last week... my children seem to get the hang of bladder control way before all the other things to do with going to the loo, ie be willing to go and do a poo...tell me they need to go....etc

AbbyLou · 23/07/2007 13:54

Well I have decided it's time to introduce myself to this thread! I have been out and purchased everything suggested and tomorrow is D-day as far as potty training goes. We will be starting tomorrow lunch time when ds gets home from grandparents. He is 2.7 now and as I have got 6 weeks off now I have decided we have to have a concerted effort. Wish me luck!

RudyVonLasagne · 23/07/2007 14:22

Just come to this thread for a bit of inspiration on day 1 of training.

DS - nearly 3 - has got through 7 pairs of pants so far, one teeny tiny wee on the potty, several large pisses on the carpet and 2 dumps in pants - one while I was reading this thread .

Must steel myself and carry on...need more pants...

Weasleybug · 23/07/2007 15:29

I am joining - day 1 today. Very stressful.

Having had a little success last week when dd asked to wear pants/sit on potty and produced a poo and a wee today it has been REALLY hard to get her to sit on the toilet or potty. She's either refusing or sitting and getting up straightaway - have tried tv, books, bribes (short and long term) and nothing much seems to work. She seems very good at holding it in though which I guess is good but frustrating. She has done 1 poo on the potty today after literally hours of me trying to persuade her and her obvioulsy holding it in.

Am feeling somewhat frazzled.

micromummy · 23/07/2007 15:51

now have lost count how long this has been going on but at least 2 weeks. still will not poo on potty or toilet. just a few requests to go to toilet now (once when he had been seriusly naughty and i think was trying to be conspiculously "good", once sadly miles away from toilet). otherwise all wees on floor unless we have taken him unrequested to the toilet.
guess will eventually get it . he is nearly 2.6.
on plus side, had a light bulb moment yesterday after many messy previous attempts and can now drink out af a real cup at long last. one day may even use a spoon instead of forks only (don't ask)
on the minus side, can now pee on the floor on purpose; tricky, as no crime to have an accident....
also he is CONVINCED bumbo is a potty and has already done a wee in it.
