toilet training anyone?

well done phat_cat. We can regularly get three nights in a row dry but am going to wait until we get two to three weeks of no wet nappy at night before i risk getting rid of night time naps. Vincent had his first accident today in AGES. He stopped in time, only a real lil bit in undies but sadly enough to wet his jeans. He stopped it, ran to the loo, turned on the light & i pulled his pants down & he got on the loo. I couldn't believe it when he then did something! I was so proud of him Other times he has stopped himself, he hadn't then gone on to do something. so i feel very excited.

Oh, he also comes up to me if we are out & asks if there is a toilet. in other words, i may need to go. i think i do. we try. maybe nothing. but guaranteed 5 mins later he'll wanna go again. :) i think it's great he knows even when he's busy now.

Hello all

Great i have found a forum where i can ask questions etc seeing when others are toliet trainning.

With my daughter maia she was showing signs of toliet training i started with her she was doing really well then started crying so i thought she perhaps wasnt ready. And now that she is 2 i am thinking that i should start toliet traininig her, but is it best to toliet train them when they are showing signs? or when i thought i might try but not sure, any advice or tips would be great :)

well that was short lived - today and yesterday all we have had is accidents and nothing on the potty

its so fustrating but I really thought we had it - I am wondering do I continue like we are or should I just go back to nappies and try again some other time - I just think its a huge step backwards! Will try rest of today and tomorrow but then hes back at the caregivers so into trainerpants he will be!

Andriea Sam won't do poos on the toilet either, unless you count a five cent piece worth he did the other day. He waits until he has a nappy on and then does it.

He also decided the other day that he wanted to do wees on the toilet so I let him and then put undies on him. I have been asking him every 1/2 hour to 45 minutes if he needs to go and he says he does so I put him on, he does wees and then wants to sit there for the next half an hour to 'do wees and a big poo' but doesn't do anything else.   Then he gets really upset if I try to take him off the toilet.    Then after sitting on the toilet for half an hour, he will get his undies on and then go outside and wee in them!

50% of the time he is good though and will do wees on the toilet and be dry until the next time he asks to go, but we are going through lots of undies!

Sam sits down to pee and I honestly have no idea at what age I am supposed to teach him to stand up to do it.   He's not all that tall and couldn't reach standing up so it might be a while for us.   We gave up on the potty mainly because I am very very gaggy at the moment and even wees makes me want to throw up!     He just sits on the toilet seat for now, as I haven't gotten around to getting him a training seat, infact not sure if I will now as he's happy sitting on the cold plastic toilet for ages!

Hi all i am after some advice just found out i am expecting again in july this year, and i am worried my daughter wont be toliet trained in time, i am trying but she is really not interested what can i do?? we did do so well few months ago then she got sick and didnt want to do it punching myself now and we should of just tried to keep it going

from my experience i have found that a reward helps we had stickers for trying, then made a big deal & two stickers for actually going then a lolly for poos. He got to the stage that he was so proud of doing it on his own that he stopped asking for stickers & "pollypops" - well that was until the other day when we bought some new "pollypops"..(mini candycanes) but its only one a day im sure he will soon forget again. Heaps of praise & letting him choose some big boy undies did help. & patience! crikey ive never been so patient in my whole life lol but its so worth it! Tristen wasnt interested in nappy pants we only used them at night I just stocked up on the undies & went from there. Oh he only pooed his undies once & SO didnt like it hasnt happened again. He also comes & tells us if hes had "an assident" We now have the other extreme that he likes to pee anywhere & everywhere & do "bigones" in places like the bucket
also i think each child has different bladder control I was putting him on every 1/2 to hour & nothing but then decided to trust him to tell me when he needs to go he can go several hours without needing to go sometimes...

In need of some advice.  We started toilet traing our 29 month old last week, having used pull ups the week before to teach her the sensation.  She picked the sensation up quickly so started her in undies during the day (except for sleeps).  Last week lots fo accidents, then in weekend started to prgress with telling me as she went (rather than after) to telling me just as needed to go.

Progress to yesterday when she went wees twice and poohs once.  Have been using lots of praised, rewards and ringing grandparents. 

Today sent twice this morning happily, then suddenly says wants to go but when gets there either sits on seat for a few seconds or refuses to get on.  She will continually do this for ages; 5 times in 10 minutes!!  This has been going on all afternoon, she really does need to go (espcially number 2's - I think is scared?? and now got a tummy ache cos needs to go).

Does anyone have any ideas what to do now?  Am sure she is ready, freaks our if does a wee in nappy before bed.

were slowly starting TT
Jett loves sitting on the toilet but never does anything on it! he says he needs to go but never does
and he hates undies& boxers & is slightly warming up to pull ups

so far i only have one child out of nappies during the day, he has taken to it really well, only started a few days ago and he is taking him self to the toilet unless we are at playcentre where he needs help i think im more afraid he will fall in lol.
im hoping mason will be out of nappies soon but ill wait til he can talk a bit more 1st, he is 21mths so we have time. my oldest however refuses.
