My daughter wants to sit on the potty. Goes and sits on it does nothing. Will tell me when she poops or when she pees in her diaper(nappy). I tried underwear but she still didn't get it. I take her to the potty to sit when I go. What do you think I should do to get my almost 16 month old to tell me BEFORE she goes?

@collaredslaveja Put her in undies. Felicity really didn't get to tell me BEFORE she had to go until she wore undies for 2 days and was weeing down her legs, lol. I found if she wore undies and tracksuit pants (thick winter pants) it caught most of the wee before getting to her shoes :) She never did a full wee, I would just say "oh look, you are wet, lets take you to the toilet and do wees" then i would calmly take her, explain she was wet and get her to choose her dry undies

How did u potty train her??? My kids are the same age as yours. My oldest was potty trained at 2 1/2. My youngest sits on the potty sometimes but had never done anything.

@queeenpammie I didn't...she did it herself. She has always sat on the potty or toilet from birth (with breaks here and there) and she just started telling me when she needed to go so I just took a risk and put her in undies one day and we haven't looked back since. It is definitely harder with her in undies coz she can't hold her bladder for very long but I could not ignore her telling me she wanted to use the toilet and she LOVED wearing undies so much more than the bulky nappies.

Grace, did I read somewhere that you made your own fitted sheets? I would love to try this but dont know where to start. Did you teach yourself?

[TheGraceDiaries]

@jmanifol Yes I did. I make portacot/pack-n-play ones and cot/crib/toddler bed sized ones. They are SO SO easy to make. I will find a tutorial online and message it to you.

Good luck with the 3rd!! I have a 7 month old girl and would LOVE to try for another NOW, but have to wait the 12 months because I was blessed with a caesarean first time :/ Love to know which part of Melb you are in... I'm in Northern suburbs (Craigieburn) Have a question: how do you plan to raise your kids as far as faith goes? What are your principles etc? I have a strong faith, but my husband and his family do not and the environment is not faith centred at all... any advice?? Thanks. Clare

@TheGraceDiaries Thanks for your reply! I did try the undies for a week. She went pee in them every time. Then she started getting freaked out when she peed. She would just pee and start crying. Got anything else?

Gawd, I'm jealous. My son is 2 and 9 months and shows noooooo interest in potty training. Changing poo nappies is a major interruption to his day (in his mind). I talk about it, show him the potty etc. but he is just not interested. We are going to NZ for the month of Feb and will be mostly at his grandparents but will do a 2 week road trip, so will have to be in disposables and I just don't foresee being able to potty train him till we at least get back.....

wow! thats awesome. umm potty training questions...i just dont know where to start. we had the potty out in the lounge and tried to sit our son on (just turned 17 months) the potty, but he didnt want to sit on it. i try to distract him with a book etc, but then as soon as he remembers hes on the potty he wants to get off...hmm just a general guide on what you do would be awesome..sorry so long haha thanks :)
