emmab23 · #1 (**permalink**) 18-11-08, 22:21

Potty training been going well but dont really know how to tell her to do it in the potty - all the time!

She says 'wee wee' but there seems to be no time to get the potty how can i help her realise?! Does that make sense?

Before LO was born she was doing really well, but i have slacked occupied with other things and have let her slip back into her nappy more so feel really bad! Please help!

I think i'm approaching this all wrong...help how did everyone else do it?!

We failed miserably. What is happening here is that Isabella insists on wearing pants every morning, goes to the potty herself regularly, pulls her pants down and sits on, hollers "Isabella does a weewee like a biggirl, daddy get me a Fifi balloon" and then gets off without doing the aforementioned piddle.

This is repeated lots until she needs to do a real wee/poo and then she cries until I put a nappy on or pees on her farm playmat. This morning she even got a nappy from her caddy and attempted to put it on herself. She managed it sidewards and did her wee like that.

So don't feel like a failure as we are doing rubbish. Sadly I have no tips unless you like our methods.....

The best advice is really to wait for warmer weather and to let them wet themselves -they do get quite upset with themselves when they doa nd they learn from it.

Isabella is unconcerned about wetting herself Suse

She'll shout "mummy Isabella weeweed in my pants, am all wet, change my pants mummy" etc etc but is unphased.

She does prefer to wee in nappies and asks for one before she'll pee her pants though.

That's not mean-how else is she gonna learn that peeing in her pants isn't fun? Now she just thinks-oh yeah-am bored of my clothing, I would like a new outfit, so how about I pee in my clothing, mum will change me then!

We are just the same...or we just want to change them to a different colour. Was in pants all morning and wet them, didnt really bother telling me as the tweenies were on and then out shopping today and i got 'mummy i've wee wee change knickers!'
