Potty Training

[3milygrac3]

Hi everybody, looking for some other people's stories or hints and tips. My little boy is currently 33 months and he still isn't potty trained. I'm starting to feel under pressure now with him attending nursery this September coming and turning 3. We have tried a couple of times but it's almost like he has enough and refuses to sit on the potty and just gets a bit annoyed by it really. He's only just started to tell me when he's done a poo in his nappy but we're still working on the wees. Does anybody have any advice or any useful tips that may help us? Thank you xx

We used poo goes to Pooland Nhs free app ( 3 years old ) with our reluctant/scared daughter. Lots of cheering our wee and poos as we flush them away to join their families 🤪 and high fives etc. She much prefers the toilet with her own little toilet seat which we take with us so she will use other toilets. Worked wonders and she now actively asks etc .

At that age, forget the potty and go straight to the toilet with a booster seat if necessary. Stay at home for a week and concentrate on nothing else. He should pick it up very quickly if you fully commit to it.

DD hadn't long turned 3. I was recommended the oh crap potty training method (book) and she got it quickly and went dry overnight as a bonus at the same time. I liked it as it gave the psychology behind it all so I understood more what she was going through.

Also rewards. Sticker chart and then chocolate buttons for number 2's! We also went straight to toilet booster seat too.

Good luck

My DS is 2.5 and I didn’t think he was ready as he never told me if he had done a wee or poo even when I asked but his childminder was potty training another boy so she said she’d do them together. I was sceptical as I’d bought a potty that he had flat out refused to sit on but she said put him in normal pants and he won’t like the sensation when he wets himself. This was a month ago and he’s only had 5 accidents. He wet himself the first morning and was not happy about it and I really think that drilled it in. We are having a few issues with poo withholding but overall it’s gone so much better than I thought it would. Just putting him straight into ‘big boy pants’ may be worth a go? Good luck!

Hey new to here lol x What worked with DS was we repeatedly told him ""When you turn three you can't wear nappies" It was built up over many months after endless potty training failures, and he really brought into the "I'm 3 therefore I don't wear nappies" ... especially with his cool new undies lol and he hasn't worn a nappy in the day since his 3rd birthday :)

Hey everyone, really struggling to toilet train my 3 Yr old! She's due to start nursery in school in April she has to use the toilet and isn't allowed pullups. She is just peeing and pooing in her knickers and will quite happily stew in it for some time, won't ask to go on toilet, I'm sticking her on regularly after a drink and every 20-30 minute in general all day, she will sit on toilet and hold it all in for long time, as soon as knickers and trousers are on she's peeing or pooing or both in them. She's yet to do a single pee or poo in toilet and I've been trying to do this for months to no avail, I really don't want her missing out on going to school as she gets bored at home and I know would just flourish in a school setting. I'm at my wits end tbh.

Read the book “ oh crap potty training” or just Google the method. I potty trained my 2,5 years old in 4 days. Its a brilliant method. Only thing is my son literally took of his nappy one day and straight away started saying whenever he needs wee or poo. Not a single accident ever. And I was absolutely dreading the process just like you I felt under pressure. It was all for nothing. Hopefully you’ll find the method helpful for you and good lack may the patience be with you OP x
