Toilet training disaster

Have you let her choose some new knickers herself? I started training my lg afew months ago too we went shopping for new knickers and we explained to her that she has to keep them dry and clean & to use the potty for a wee & poo.. She only wears a pull up for bed i find if you start training wearing a pull up or nappy just confuses them more. Try a reward chart with stickers & each time she uses the potty she can put one in the chart at the end of the week i let my daughter choose a treat.. The only thing we are struggling with is number 2s as she will prefer to do it in her knickers but then hates the feel of it & wants it changed asap.. don’t be so hard on urself you’ll get there xx

@Nikki she did choose her knickers. But she doesn't register when she's wet and when she does on the rare occasion, it's like she's scared when we say let's go on the toilet. We didn't want to introduce pull ups but it was the only way we could stop her crying on the toilet. I regret it now. Honestly feel like after 2 months we've made no progress so it's so stressful and deflating x

Does she go to nursery? If so is she training there also? Maybe step it down a notch & use potty only and see how she goes with that. Its horrible seeing them upset isn’t it but they will get there x

How old is she? Xxx

@Nikki she does go to nursery and is the exact same there 😔 is bought a potty and still nothing but going to keep trying

@Charlotte she'll be 3 in just over 2 months

I only have the advice I have been using for our son (no prior experience) - but I kept him nappy less and without bottoms in the house and when out just leggings or trousers and he had accidents and still does at times but it seemed to help him then realise when he needs to be getting to a toilet/potty. I’ve tried potty training pants but I think my son thought he could wee in them. He still struggles with number 2s, mostly does them in his trousers! My son sometimes doesn’t tell us when he’s wet himself. He never tells us when he’s poohed in his trousers. I just figure it’ll click eventually? Sorry probably not very helpful at all!! Wishing you all the best xxxx

Hey so i started potty training my boy at 18 months he started well then since we've had lots of coughs and colds so i put it off, then started again after he was 2 and he wasnt interested and wanted nothing to do with his pants. So i left it to him he wears pull ups but 1 week ago he said mummy potty and has been using it successfully since. Id say maybe let her try to lead it abit? He got to a point a few weeks ago where he got uncomfortable in wet nappies so we were changing them every wee, that was his starting point xx

Thank you guys! Would you say it's better to wait for her to eventually tell me when she's ready to come out of pull ups (which could be never!!) Or just go straight to knickers at nursery and naked at home until she eventually gets it? Torn on which to do. I feel so much pressure from people telling me she's almost 3 and should be fully trained by now, it's stressing me out!

Not myself, but a friend's son showed no interest in potty training. Just wouldn't do it and didn't want to. In the end, she left it a while and at almost 4, he decided he'd do it. I know she despaired, but once he was ready, he was quick to get sorted. He's a bright boy, just wasn't in the right head space to do it.

Underwear for nursery aswell as at home, just make sure u pack plenty of spares & changes of clothing too. Don’t give up 😊

Sounds like she's not quite ready, I have 4 kids and my older 2 went from nappies to completely dry day and night within 2 days around age 3- 3/12 straight into the toilet I had offered them loads of times just never pushed it until they asked. My just turned 3 year old picked out a potty and his own pants, we talked for ages about him using it and he seemed excited, second it all arrived he won't go near it, I really don't want him starting nursery in nappies but don't want to push him until he's ready I know lots of kids with issues around toileting whereas mine are great
