I am being a bit premature with this, but trying to potty train DD (2.4) this weekend (since Wednesday), before she goes back to the CM on Thursday.

Our CM does not want to do full on training with her, for various reasons, and whilst I find this a bit strange, she has made her position quite clear and I respect it.

If DD hasn't cracked it by then (I am crossing everything she has, going ok for wees but a poo-in-pants situation everyday so far) is there something between proper pants (that she is wearing just now), and Easy Up pants type things that I can put her in so as not to confuse her? I am very reluctant to put her back in pull ups for CM.

Are there 'Toilet-training pants' that you see in Mothercare etc any good?

I thought could try these and call then 'CM-pants' or similar?

Meant to add, she is very engaged in activities at the CM so not sure she will remember to ask to go, although we be reminded regularly I think.

Have a look online for washable pull up nappies, you can then put differing amounts of padding in depending on how she is doing, the CM can then bag them up for you. Think when I looked into them for dd1 nighttime, there were brightbots or something which were supposed to be good.

Hopefully she will have cracked it by then anyway. If it is just poos then although not very nice she can just bag them up for you, surely not that different to changing nappies. She doesn't need to wash them or anything. I imagine she will be more or less there by thurs if she is doing well already.

Oh also we got some dry like me pads from saiinsburys to go inside pants to hold a small wee, haven't used them as forgot when went to FIL and he seems fine now. Can go at front or back, not sure if that would be confusing.

Thank you I will look. This is so stressful! Day 4 today, 1 accident on day 2 but poo in pants, Dry yesterday but 3 x poo in pants, 1 little accident today but a poo in the toilet (to pooland!). Hopefully getting there but she isn't really asking to go that much, we are just managing on reminders.
