Toilet Training - where to start

google toilet training in 3 days and read that - then just use a mix of that and your own instinct.

My 2 1/2 year old was fully day toilet trained in 4 weeks. Not sure how or why it happened so fast but had the potty in the lounge etc. I made him wear his "big boy" undies around home all the time. If he wet him self I would say that's o.k we will try next time. It came to the point where he would wee a little bit hold on then tell me he wanted the potty. I also combined the use of the potty with sitting on the toilet. Use heaps of praise and comments that they are a big kid now. I also used pull ups to get him out of naps when we were out but would put the pull ups over his undies so he would know when he needed to go. Also look for cues they need to go like crossing legs, holding on to the nap when they are going for a wee. At times you will have to say lets go to the toilet to see if you need to go. For your own sanity and time i bought the sunshine kids dry seat for the car seats as you will not need to strip your car seat/pram if they happen to wee/poo while in it, well worth the money. Tweedle have them on sale i think.

Does he still day sleep??? And is he dry from those sleeps? If so this is what I did.

When he got up I put him on the potty, I think TV might have been on, and he'd wee within 5 or so mins. Then I'd take him to the potty every 2 hours after that, I usually found he'd go about 2 hrs 20 mins. Then once he got the handle on that he just started asking to go.

Also go get him to help you chose some undies. Kmart has good ones 7 for $9 with cool pictures. Cooper loved wearing these so opted for them over nappies.

Also if he's dry from his over night sleep or you know he has just gone wees on wake up (warm nappy) make yourself get up just before his wake up so when he wakes up you take him & put him on the potty, his half asleepness helps with going wee's.

Apparently boys can be quite hard to train so don't beat yourself up about it.

That is an awesome first day isaacsmum.
We did the treat thing too, 1 lolly for wee 2 for poo for the first 2-3 weeks till the habit had formed and he was doing really well. Then we started having a bigger treat for a dry day, i just told him "you're doing so well you don't need a lolly everytime now, you're a big boy". He was fine with that.
Eventually he would forget to ask and so i just let it slide and he forgot about the treats. We did potty for the first few months as he was not keen on the toilet. It is still the result you want, toilet will come.
