I did the same with my boy and was determined not to get stressed over it all or pressure him in any way. And it worked. (Although despite my best intentions I did get stressed on the one or two poo in pants scenarios that we had, obvs!) He actually trained really quickly, in a matter of a couple of days, because he was ready. Best of luck with it! x

I do know I was lucky.

Top tip is to let her be naked down under for at least the first couple of days. Less about mess and more about making her aware of the fact that she doesn’t have a nappy on. When the twins first put pants on we had a few accidents, then they got it. Then we moved onto trousers (get in plenty of jogging bottoms – easy to pull up and down and quicker to dry after you’ve washed them) and it was the same – couple of accidents then they got used to the sensation.

Also get a potette plus for when you’re out and about. One of the best things I ever bought.

Good luck and try to enjoy it!

The whole wee wee potty training thing seems to be a dim distant memory. It went well. Poos, however, are a different story. We have scored one in the loo at Granny’s and that was a spontaneous ‘poo just came out with a wee’ thing. No one was more surprised than Bibsey. She talks about pooing in the loo but when the time comes she asks for a nappy and some privacy.

We have decided to back off a bit on the poo in the loo thing as the pressure was just causing her to hold back entirely and then of course she couldn’t go at all. I think that you are right just to follow her lead.

Good luck x

Second time round, I am SCARED of it! The Baby is 23 months and is perfectly capable of telling us when she needs a wee or poo, but the potty is just a game to her, and she’d rather stuff her Hophop bunny in it than produce anything. She’s still very young, but given that she can stay dry for six hours and then spectacularly out-wee a nappy, I feel the time isn’t far off – but I don’t think she agrees! Am also tentatively earmarking half-term to give it a proper shot; at least then we’ll know whether or not she *can* do it.

He preferred the small toilet seat to the potty. I was like you & followed his lead as an earlier attempt was just that: too early but it was relatively easy second attempt! Good luck & how adorable is she x

Good luck. It sounds like you’re going about everything gently. x
