Toilet Training/Potties in General

Having been through toilet training twice now, I have learnt a thing or two, the first being that though "they" may say a child will be ready to get rid of nappies somewhere between 18 months to 3 years old, things aren't necessarily so simple. If you are reading this because your child has turned two, or indeed three and is showing none of the "signs" - wanting pants or going a long time between wees, panic not and say "no" to competitive potty training. Easy for me to say now that we are out the other side, so to speak, and nappy free after nearly 6 years of changing one child or another, but not so easy if you are at that ...  Read the complete review

My little girl is 2 years old.She point blank hates doing a poop in her nappy so that one half of the potty training sorted to start with and she has been like this for the last 9 months or so.

One of the many things I dreaded when I found out I was pregnant with my first child was the potty training. I had heard so many people say how awful it is, how hard it is if they are boys and the thought of running around all day cleaning wee (and other such) of carpets was enough to make me want to cry! My son was 2yrs and 8months before he came out of nappies. I knew he had to come out of them before he was started school but I was more than happy to let him stay in them until then! I was 7months pregnant with our second child when my first son finally decided to let us potty train him. And when I say let us, I mean it really was a decision he made all ...  Read the complete review

I am just in the process of potty training my little man and have so far found this site very useful. I have heard many horror stories about the dreaded potty training stage so I decided to read a number of reviews written here before starting in hope that I could prepare myself the best I could and in turn I hoped that this would make the experience less stressful on the little one. The truth is yes the reviews written by others are great they give you some great tips which showed me that if one method failed there were many different approaches/ methods I could try in order to succeed. The main advise I found came from reading other peoples experiences, this really ...  Read the complete review

My daughter is 2 and a half. I started potty training her about a month ago. I tried before this when she turned 2 but she simply wasnt interested and would cry when she sat on it. The best peice of advice I can give is not to pressure them and let them decide when they are ready. After a couple of freinds had recommended a potty which was shaped like an armchair and was more enclosed and made them feel safer then a regular potty, I decided to replace her potty with this one. She sat on it straight away when I showed it to her and I havnt looked back since. Just yesterday she decided she wanted to use the toilet instead and no longer ...  Read the complete review
