How do you potty train!!!??

Help how do I potty train my child!

Hi
How old is your child ?

I don't.
it never worked for us.
I wait until they old enough and just start them on the toilet with a training seat

Wait until they know they need to go its much much easier, if the feelings not there it will take a lot longer.

Watching with interest. My ds is 2.5 and has been dry during the day for a couple of weeks...with lots of prompting. A few accidents, but he seemed ready which helped.

How do people deal with going out and about? Ds won't go on potty, so no carrying one about with us. Do you just schedule lots of toilet visits?

Also, when do you tackle night times? Is there a best time?

I didn't really train him....DS was about 2.5 and I could tell he was ready as he would let me know when he was about to go. So, one morning said "no nappies - big boy pants". That was it. If we went anywhere, I would schedule loo stops, just used toilets though and not a potty when we were out.

I was lucky, one or two accidents - A HUGE accident in the diary aisle of Tesco's and that was it.

As soon as he was dry in the day time he automatically went dry and night.

That's interesting North. Was your dc a good sleeper? Wondering if I should just go for it. Eek!

At 2.5 / 6 when he went dry, he was probably sleeping quite well, but I should probably say he didn't sleep after 6am but went to bed at 7pm.
I should point out I put this down entirely to luck.

Thanks for the advice. Sorry for the thread hijack!

My DS started potty training the week before Xmas . I did a couple of days staying in & then no pants at all for trips out & naps. No accidents when out but a few when napping.

We just use a toilet when out & I pack spares of everything just in case.

Not doing nighttime yet & he often wakes wet having soaked through his nappy anyway

DD started showing interest aged 25/26 months (trying to take off pampers to do pee/pooh). Got a baby Bjorn potty chair so she could sit comfortably. Bribed her with chocolate to get her to sit on potty/ whenever she did the deed in potty. We let her go commando (we have wooden floors) or put her in pants (bought loads of cheap ones). It was spring summer time which also helped! Stayed home as much as we could for about two weeks and she didn't wear plull ups during that time, so she could get used to feeling of wetness/pooh.

Pampers are so so absorbent that whenever she had wee accidents in the pull ups, she wasn't aware of it - that is not the case with panties! I would say it took nearly a week for her to come anticipate that she needed to get herself on the potty in time. Once she was dry in the day, she automatically went dry at night. It took 3-4 months to go from pampers to pants in the day and night without any accidents.
