does anyone have any tips on potty training?

Question

my daughter is 2. and doesnt keep her nappy on wet or dry, but wont do anything in the potty. her older sister just stopped using nappies herself at 2 yrs and only had a few accidents. but i am struggling with my younger daughter.. who just will not wear a nappy wet or dry

Answer 1

leave the potty around the house so she can get used to it. maybe get a doll with a potty and make it look like doll is using the potty then get your daughter to copy it.
give lots of praise and encouragement.
treats usually work well have a sticker chart and if she uses potty at least once a day for a whole week then she gets a treat then extend it so she has to do it for two wks then 3 and so one.
sometimes however children just aren't ready at this age when they are ready they will do it it isn't really something you can't force
and remember just because your first daughter didn't at 2 doesn't mean your 2nd will all children are different.
the way i view it is that so long as they are trained before they start school then there isn't really a problem

Answer 2

. . . You will be too young to remember "rompa suits", a one piece coverall [everything except the head and hands] like baby pyjamas, fastened at the back.
Winston Churchill made them famous during World War II because he wore similar coveralls.
Once your daughter is in her nappy + whatever, on goes the rompa suit. Unless she's a contortionist there's no way she'll get that nappy off.
As to the potty-training - obviously don't cause her any harm but leave the dirty nappy on her as long as you dare. When you change her, make a point of dropping the dirty nappy and whatever else goes with it into her potty; clean her up and refit as necessary.
With her in tow, take the potty and its contents to the bathroom and empty it down the toilet, wash it out and disinfectant - tell her what a good girl she is and give her the potty to play with (my younger brother used to wear his as a hat, in fact still does sometimes - stupid really as he's pushing forty) . . .

Answer 3

I am going through potty training myself right now..but my son is 3. He just didn't want to go in the potty, no matter what i tried. I was getting ideas from my friends with kids and one method seemed to show up again and again. People suggested i let him go around the house without any bottoms on. The first day i did it he peed on my carpet once and in my kitchen once. After that every single time he went potty it was in the big boy potty. We are still working on getting him not to go in his pants in public, but i figure the more he gets used to using the potty at home and being dry and clean, the more he wont want to mess in public..at least that's the theory ;) Good luck.

Buy Those Diapers That Have The Water Cool Thingy. When They Wet There Pants, They Know When to Tell You and Use The Bathroom. Gets Them Into The habit, Ya Know?

Answer 5

I'm potty training also. They usually stop at 2.5 yrs and 3. Mine is three years old. I got her to stop by taking away her dress up clothes and telling her that a princess doesn't go potty in her diaper. As she starts going on her potty she gets one piece back at a time. Also, when they poop, have them bend over and show them what their butt looks like with poop all over it. Daughter never pottied in her diaper again.

Take her to the bathroom before bed, after waking up, an let her drink tea which runs through her body and she will have to go more frequently and you can ask her if she wants to go potty and soon she will be in the habit.

Answer 6

Each child does things at there own pace she will when she is ready to. When you go to the potty take her with you and set her on her potty chair next to you and make it a fun time say things like mommas going potty and baby is going potty too, make up a song that she can join in on my daughter always had fun with that!

Answer 7

try putting regular undies on her, she will wet them, but atleast it's cheaper than buying diapers/nappies. Keep a child potty chair out in the main area of the house, living room, kitchen or wherever, and try having her sit on it every 30 minutes for 1 minute, this worked with my son....It's time consuming, but it works

Answer 8

1) Don't sweat it and don't stress.

2) Don't let anyone else dictate your baby's "potty" training.

3) Try to find a good schedule for potty visits, make it a normal thing...not fun...not work...just...an event that gets accomplished like bath time or meals.

4) Try to read signs of bladder distress or colon anxiety and head to the baby potty...but don't be mad or irritated...it's a normal process.

5) Don't stress...it'll happen when it happens.

Answer 9

MY boy's 4 and 3 years old, both wasn't potty trained until they were about 2 months from turning 3, my 3 year old just turned 3 in june and he has only been poty trained, since march of this year, just don't push them, when they are ready they will go......... good luck

Answer 10

My daughter is 2 and she is the same way, she goes and nothing comes out. I would suggest for you to take her when she wakes up, after she its and definately after she drinks something. Try to keep her on the potty for atleast 15 minutes. Hope that helps
