I know Gina Ford has written one but don't know if there are any others. Any recommendations?

Asking again. I haven't used a parenting book before but I feel I need to swot up on potty training!

Although I have not read any of her other books, and I am not really a routine person, I did get the GF potty training book for ideas - it was the only one in the shop when I went. It was useful too, and gave me good ideas.I found the 7 signs to look out for a useful opage, and just getting some ideas of how to approach it. In the end we varied everything and went about it ina mixed fashion - but it worked.

Pee, Poop and Potty Training is a good, straighforward book which gives loads of general advice but isn't prescriptive.

Interested in this thread?

this is going to seem really unhelpful but I'm trying... Do you live near bluewater in kent? there is a shop there called Daisy and Tom, I stood looking at a really good potty training book in there a couple of weeks ago but I haven't got a clue who it was by. They only had that one and Gina Fords in there.

I have just used the Gina Ford how to potty train in a week, It is brilliant 5 days and my dd was going by herself it has been 9 days now and we have had 4 dry days in row.
It does say the parent needs to be 100% ready and that is true i spent the first 2 days on the floor

Thank you all. I haven't ventured near a bookshop yet - I was going to post on here the one I plumped for - and am not feeling too brave yet but I will tackle it soon!

Interesting that Gina Ford was recommended. Didn't like the CLBB at all but was wondering about giving the potty training one a go.

Thanks again.
