should I give up?

Help! I've been potty training DS for a couple of weeks. He has got the wee side of things fine - always says if he needs a wee in the potty, will come and find us etc etc but he still doesn't have any bowel control. Will be sitting on the potty one minute and pooing on the floor the next. I'm losing the will to carry on but should we stick a it? Will he miraculously get it? (He's 2 3/4)

carry on, as he has the wee thing, the poo will come next, if you put him back in nappies he might stop asking to wee :) my grandson is 2 and a half and we started him 3 weeks ago,we just keep saying do you need the potty, remember to use it and got him little undies, which he loves, he also loves to empty it :) so maybe when you know he is going to poo, try to keep mentioning it to him and then make a big fuss when he does, my grandson more or less has his head in the potty when he has done a poo its so funny, and he walks round all delighted with his prize :)

Yes, he will. Just when you are really thinking "How is he ever going to get it? He doesn't even seem to realise when he's pooing..." he will say to you " I need a poo" and that'll be it, pretty much. I think my ds took roughly 10 days after mastering weeing, to master pooing, although plenty of people have found it's the other way round.

Hope he gets it soon!
