toilet training anyone?

I am SO sick of people saying that it's time R is TT. I am sure forcing them will make it worse!!! They will when they are ready after all.

Thats some food for thought as I have been thinking for ages about just throwing Gabrielle and knickers and seeing what happens. I just feel that all of her other signs are enough and that even if it takes a little while she probably won't be able to tell when she needs to go without the accidents.

The hardest part for us is that my 15mth old loves playing in the toilet so it is hard to let Gabrielle have free reign when I need to close the door all the time to keep Tane out. Only one way to learn though aye....

hey ladies , i couldnt be botherd reading through the whole forrum to see the answer even tho i know it would have been asked before . what is the average age for toilet training ? my girl is only one and not walking yet so i know it not gonna be any time too soon but i was just curious .

julz my DD was fully TT at 20 months. I completely followed her lead, one day she said to me no nappies Mummy, so I put her in knickers and that was it. She was obviously ready for it, glad she let me know as I had no intention of TT her so young!

We had a wee bit of regression a few weeks ago, but it turned out to that she was having issues at kindy which was causing the regression. It only lasted a few days and she was back to normal.

bizzy, DD can go for months with no wet nappies at night then she will go a whole week of wetting every night, theres no rhyme nor reason for it, so I just put her in a nappy to save me more washing

Wow I better start reading this thread lol. For the last 2 weeks Clodagh has started going 'psssssss' then sniffing furiously and rubbing her nose whenever she has done poos....at first I thought it was a conincidence cos she's 'only' 15 months old but nope it's a definate acknowledgement on her part that she has done a poo and wants to be changed (cos she then tries to take her pants off!).

I guess I want to know where to from here? We have a potty and she's very interested in it and also in DF and I going to the loo. She makes all the sounds hehe but I don't want to force her IYKWIM? But I maybe had a goal to follow her lead and perhaps by January or so (she'll be 19 months then), she might be a bit dry during the day? Is that unrealistic? Any advice appreciated

TIA

My DD is finally TT! I did throw her in knickers to see how she went and she was going well but I had to insist she go to the toilet and she quickly got the hump and would hold on and not go on the toilet and then have accidents instead. I put her in pull ups after that and decided to stop pressuring her. She woke up 2 days ago and just decided to wear her knickers and has been taking herself to the loo since. Stubborn by nature it seems she wanted to do it on her terms but I am so happy now and wish I didn't stress it so much before.

FINALLY my nearly 4 year old is Toilet trained - has been a very long road and tried EVERYTHING but it is done ☺

I have started TT Arianne, she keeps taking her nappy off, loves the potty and tells me when she has done a pee or poo (as she calls it).

Since it is summer I thought it the best time since its so hot she loves not wearing a nappy now but still haven't gotten a successful pee or poo in the potty. Still im taking my time and getting her into a potty routine.

After she wakes up I take her to the potty, before and after her nap and before bed at night. See how she goes

Ok I think we are going to start TT DS.
We've had the potty out in the lounge for months, and DS would need to go wee's so would go behind the couch or ask for a nappy on. I was going with the approach of he'll just do it when he's ready. I was right!.
Last week I was in the kitchen and he was nappyless, and he said 'Ryan done wee's on the potty' I didn't believe him, and sure enough he'd done it. NO pressre or anything. SInce then he's when he's had his nappy off will go on the potty. Except one evening when he wanted his car with him and got up to get it and went on the floor. But thats ok.

Monday he did one before bed. Tuesday (yesterday) he went before his arvo nap, then i put a nappy on him sent him to bed when he got up I took his nappy off, it was dry, and he sat on the potty and did a wee, and was nappiless for the rest of the day and did 2 more we's after that. THis mornign he's done 3 wee's since 7.30.
His night nappy was quite wet but not as wet as it can be!

So where to now?
We are having a day at home so I'm plannign on trying a whole day with no nappy and just let him do it. I'm a bit nervous about the poo though. He does one a day and it varies on when. I think then tomorrow if it goes smoothly we'll try the undies.

Oh and I'm running out of marshmello's. and he has filled 2 lines of 10 on his star chart just for wee's.

We are using pull ups - the cheapest ones I can buy though. We wear undies in the afternoons but in the mornings when we tend to be busiest we are wearing pullups. We have been nappy free (apart from nights) for 5days now.....we are getting lots of wees in the potty, and have had several poos. We have only had one accident in his undies and he came straight to us and said "I was too busy playing it was a accident"...so cute!

I know he has done the odd wee in the pull up and I purposely leave them on so he can feel "wet". I havent been brave enough to go out with undies on him yet, but dont think we are far off!

We have very much been letting him set the pace for his TT, and he seems to be ready now, so are going full steam to try and get it sorted a bit before preschool starts again and before baby arrives!
