Potty Training In One Week

DD1 wouldn't potty train, kept trying again, with all sorts of methods, and she finally got it at 3+4.I've just started potty training my 2.8 yr old DS, having read the Gina Ford "Potty training in 7 days" book. Basically she says that you should have more successes than accidents by the end of day 1, and fully trained within 7 days. So far this has NOT been my experience. He's done one wee in the potty and 207,000 (seems like) on the floor.

We had this - I went to the extremes of cutting a hole in the nappy so it would fall through into the toilet but she was still "wearing it". Others will tell you to do low-demand with your DD but you have to reduce the demands (expectations) on yourselves too. Your main job will be soaking small wet underpants every night because your 18-month-old didn’t quite get what was going on in the Bear in the Big Blue Mountain Potty Training Video. The good news is she can sing every note of the weird rap in that video (look it up); the bad news is she often does this while wetting herself. 3. You Put Your Botty On The What?We had always used a different brand of nappy for bedtime and thankfully she didn't demand an un-holey night-time nappy to use for daytime wees. Many parents experience a long and bumpy ride along the road to a nappy-free existence. Advice on offer from grandparents, friends and professionals is often conflicting, leaving parents unsure of how and when to potty train their child. I would agree with everyone who has said that if your little one is ready then it will be relatively straightforward. I am not a fan of Gina Fords baby books ? but this one worked a treat for ds1 and now has again with ds2. I thought it made a lot of sense and was a very reasonable, gentle approach. (e.g. If your child does not already do x,y or z then wait a while before starting, they might not be ready. Give them small rewards when they do something on the potty. Give them lots of praise for trying and don?t tell them off when they have an accident, just encourage them) prepare for the arrival of a second baby, including how to cope physically, emotionally and financially, and how to adapt her routines when caring for a baby and toddler Just because you don’t wash your hands after going to the toilet doesn’t mean you should pass that habit on to your kids. The bit you never tell you in potty training school is that you will also need to teach kids how to wash their hands. The good news is it’s very easy to get a child to start washing his hands. The bad news is virtually impossible to get him to stop.

The case studies felt like the same thing over and over again which made it predictable and unrealistic feeling. Wow! You even potty train other children! I really hope she will do a poo soon but tends to do it near bed time when we have out nappy on. I hope she's not holding it TMI sorry.

It was nice to have step by step guide, especially since I'm clueless when it comes to babies, kids and all things related. Just like her "Contented Little Baby Book", you have to be committed and willing to spend a lot of time and effort in the beginning to get any reasonable results.

Bear in mind that all your partner’s friends will have the same idea when they read the book – I can do better than that. That’s why you’ll find women showing Elmo’s Potty Time video to their four-hour-old baby in the maternity hospital. Like I say, competitive. Be strong. IMO pull ups are confusing and a bit grim, once you can see in a potty why would you want to wear a nappy? DD did it in three days at 18mths (I know that sounds ridiculously early but she wat showung all the "cues" so thought I'd give it a go) As long as the child is ready it's a breeze. I was dreading it with my first dd but it was so easy I remember wondering what all the fuss was about. Same with second dd, no accidents after a the first few days. It is hard to overestimate the good she has done...How to reward this great benefactor of mankind?...My wife takes the view that only sainthood will do.' Peter Oborne, Political Editor, The SpectatorIt’s like one of the 10 Commandments for Kids reads ‘Thou shalt never willingly step away from running water.’ Bear that in mind as you bask in the glow of a child doing his first poo in the potty. You are now going to have to spend ten minutes trying to lure them away from the sink. And then another five minutes mopping the bathroom floor. 8. Do You Need To Go? Here’s the main thing that Dads need to know about Gina Ford’s book. You won’t read it, despite swearing blind that you would. There doesn’t seem to be anything anyone can do about this. I’ve read a bit of it for this article, so feel free to quote me like a boss. 2. Potty Prep my DCs were both dry , day and night within a week but that's because they were ready to be 'trained' DD possibly has PDA but not diagnosed. we had a potty in the bathroom and plonked her on it after her bath. Used to ask her what noise a wee made and make a sss-ing sound. She took to weeing quite easily as we'd made it a game. Poos were a bit more difficult, but she started to name them, and we had elephant poo, and after a two-tone one, tiger poo!
