Just that really! Starting DD today just going for it she's defo ready.

What's the plan for overnight? Do you go to pull ups or wake up in the night?

Thanks in advance

Do you reward for going on the potty or just praise?

I have rewards-- choc buttons for wees and ice cream for poohs. As it became normal we took the rewards away. The ice cream worked well for poohs, he mastered these before wees funnily enough.
Overnight, you leave them to it. My kid started waking me at ridiculous hours and was sometimes still dry first thing I'm the morning about two weeks ago. He's 2 years and 9 months. I currently wake him at 12 before I go to bed and then he wakes at 9. 30 and has a big wee. Let him lead you on this as I think it's very different to daytime potty training. Apparently there's a hormone that links to the kidneys and leads to dryness at night.

Thanks @Rubyroost

So been doing it since last Wednesday set a timer on my phone to just put her on the potty every so often got rewards for her stickers etc. Do you carry on just putting them on the potty every so often and just keep doing that until they start asking to go?

She's not keen on doing a poo on the potty she's literally dancing round reluctant to go on until it's literally due to come out Hahahaha I don't know if this is the right way so then I'm literally running her to the potty?

We've had days with no accidents but today she's had 3 but obviously still early days

I would suggest you look up the no crap method up ignore her over night stuff. Overnight dryness is based on hormone production, they are either producing the hormone or they are not - it’s not something which can be taught.

Don’t think about overnight yet - just get daytime sorted first. My 3yo has been trained for 6 months but still wears a nappy overnight.
