Toddler Girl wee splashes everywhere

Hi,

I have a DD who I have started toilet training ( day 2) . I have bought a toddler seat with handles to put on the main toilet.Whenever she pees it splashes everywhere out of the toilet, on the side, her legs! Because of this she is really nervous and begins to protest that there is water everywhere, and she wants to get off. She also stops midstream when she sees the splashing.

She is ready for potty training, very verbal askings for her nappy to be changed, tells me when she poos. But I am really struggling with this as she seems so scared and nervous.

I don’t make a big deal of the mess, just clear it up calmly, however she is panicking.

Is there anything I can do to stop the splashing.

Things I have tried:

1.Making her sit further back on the seat.
2.Trying to get her to lean forward (without success as she is scared she will fall in).

I am considering whether to get an actually potty, however as I have already started I do not want her back in nappies and further confuse her while I wait for the potty to arrive.Confused Not sure if my local tesco has one.

Please help!

Yes, get a potty. It’s not taking a step back, it’s the right size for her. Toilets seem huge to toddlers!

Get a potty. Tesco will have one. Eventually she'll be able to angle herself on the loo seat but it's not worth stressing her out in the meantime.

Yes get a potty and face it the 'boys' way.
Good luck!

We have an IKEA potty which is great - removeable insert and high at the front!

Definitely an Ikea potty. Although mines a boy we had this trouble with normal potties, they aren't high enough at the front for boys, the Ikea potty is brilliant & the removable part makes it easy to empty (my son liked to pour it in the toilet himself). We now use the Ikea seat that goes on the toilet & not had a problem with that either.
