Potty training logistics!

[Portapotties]

Looking for some advice on logistics for potty training with a) a very short child and b) a tiny separate toilet

DS is absolutely tiny - any recommendations for the best (I.e highest) step stool?

also, we only have a single, tiny separate toilet. So the stool ideally needs to fold…

alternatively, has anyone used one of those potties that look like a mini toilet? He is VERY interested in the loo but not particularly bothered about the normal potty we have.

incidentally, the normal potty is also quite high up for him with an awkwardly high splashguard…

lastly - anyone used nappy cloths? As in little cloths you put in a disposable nappy so they get that wet feeling

Theyre are different styles of potty you can buy. The round ones are lower. I got mine at the chemist.
The potty is in the living room on a washable waterproof mat. Look on Amazon for a large washable incontinence pad for a bed. One of the brand names is kylie.
I think mine would rather use the loo but it’s a long way and it’s freezing in there so the potty it is.
I just went for pants and joggers. Joggers hold quite a bit of wee in the fabric so I haven’t ended up with it round my rug and sofa.

I’ve got the two step step thing and adults just have to work round it.

@Autumn1990 thanks - I think you might be right about adults just having to put up with the stool. Will have a look for round potties :)

We had a pourty which has a spout. Much easier to drain and clean. IKEA kids toilet seat that goes over normal seat for tiny bums.

For the loo, we have a squatty potty that kids use as a step. They make pooping as an adult so much better too!

@NoCloudsAllowed thanks for your reply :) I’m not too concerned about making things easy for me - more what will be easy/appealing for a tiny tiny toddler in a very small space…

I think we’ll need a 2 step solution… if squatty potty is high enough for DS to rest his feet on, I imagine it’ll be too high for him to climb up on

We have a Thomas the tank potty and it’s brill. Plays a little tune when they pee (can be turned off)and very sturdy seat and feet on floor etc. you’ll want potty close by while training anyways so best have one or two dotted about the house. Bum free worked for us and many of our friends. It was fairly quick and painless but buying cheap shower curtains and covering the couch etc is also a good plan.

I just bought the little potty that looked like a toilet with the flush sound as my daughter was scared of the toilet seat, she’s also tiny. I used cloth nappies and I potty trained over Christmas at 2.3 months and it took 3 days for her to crack it. I think cloth really helped as she felt wet and understood the feeling a lot sooner

@Thefaceofboe thanks - where did you get your toilet potty from? I was thinking about trying cloth nappies again… I used them a bit when he was small but was just a bit overwhelmed so stopped but I still have them…

I personally think cloth nappies are easier with toddlers, I found them a faff with a small baby. I think googled toilet potty, it even has a small toilet roll holder on the side.
