| I'm gonna give the old potty training another go today!  so any quick tips? I plan on putting her in skirts while we are at home at least so do i just put knickers on her and ask her to tell me when she wants a wee? I have a potty and a toilet seat so i guess i keep the potty downstairs and toilet seat up duh?!  What about when i have to go out?? Helpppppppp!!!!!!  x |

| Good luck Helz! One tip - don't ask if she needs the potty, just take her every 30 mins to see if she'll go. That way you'll limit the accidents. We have a travel potty (not had to use it in the UK) but it's great if you get caught short and you think she'll not hold on until you get to the loo. x |

| what so you mean don't go on at her about it as it might put her off? I can't believe I can't remember how I did it with Mol and Em?!!! Mind you it was a long time ago lol!!! |

| Lol sorry I wasn't very clear. Just meant rather than saying "Meggy do you need the potty?" just say "lets go to the potty" and they you go at the same time as her. Or like Kelly said, pretend lol. Just means she's not going to just say "no" if she's too busy playing x |

| helz thats normal dont panic. she will have an accident or two but dont say anything but we do wee wee's on the potty then thats it.
when she does go on the potty make a right song and dance about it. tell everyone at home what she's done phone daddy and tell him and he tells her what a big clever girl she is.
i did this with rowan and he loved the praise |

| ok update: she wet herself as I expected but I managed to catch the last few drips in the potty and showed her how clever she was, she was very stressed by it but I took her upstairs and we emptied the potty and washed hands etc shes not a happy bunny but I am determined to do it!! |

| I'm probably boring you all by now but she is actually hating it!!! I have got her to sit on the potty for a while while watching Ben and Holly but she did nothing! Shes holding it in by the looks of it. I have also sat her on the toilet seat a couple of times but no joy there either. Anyway shes so stressed about it crying etc I was going to put her down for a nap and she seemed like she couldnt wait to get the nappy back on. Awww I feel sorry for her do I keep going???? Feel so mean |
