Any potty training tips??

[jollybobs89]

So DD is 25 months thought good time to potty train as I have a 7 week old and saves 2 lots of nappies!!

She knows when she has peed and pooped etc however I'm finding now I ask if she wants to sit on the potty she says yeah, then I sit her on it and when she knows she's going to pee she starts going hysterical screaming and then pees! She did the same on the toilet on one of those seat things.

I've got her a sticker chart and I do a massive celebration when she's peed etc and she is all happy afterwards but I'm just worried she's going to get a bit negative about it.

Is it too soon if she is doing that? Then she starts asking for her nappy back on?? Is it not best to leave the nappy off??

Any tips would be appreciated

My advice would be to not ditch the nappies just yet she’s still very small and you have your hands full enough ! I trained mine the week after their 3rd birthdays and they got it immediately . I had tried when they were 2 with no success.
Changing 2 lots of nappies isn’t as bad as having a free range toddler who pees everywhere 🤣 make things as easy as possible for yourself for now and worry about it a few months down the line.

I'd second what pp said, though I'm sure it's not what you want to hear. We tried somewhere around 2.5ish with our dd and it was disaster. Tried again at 2 years 9 months she got it in a few days. Don't be in a rush.

Our first attempt with DD, at 2 years 9 months was similar. So we stopped as didn't want to put her off completely. Two months later she told us she wanted to stop wearing nappies and it took her just 2 days to crack it completely.

Yes I think your right! Might be best waiting a while longer I don't want to scare her and I want her to do it in her own time was just a bit unsure with her being really keen about it at first etc.

I would not wait longer. It's likely this situation won't improve with time. She is attached to her nappy as a toilet and this attachment and fear are unlikely to go away by itself by simply using nappies for longer. 25 months is not young to potty train on the contrary.
I would ditch the sticker charts and big celebrations though. Any kind of reward is likely to hinder rather than help. Look at LittleBunnyBear, GoDiaperFree or NappyFree London for accurate information.
