I used the no cry potty tarining book by E pantly  for months and it was very gnetle  but nice  as we were not pushing things just introducing the potty slowly, but it did feel like I needed to take th eolunge and say bye bye to nappies, so we used used the  Gina Ford book  and it worked well and quickly.  I think the "one week" is an overstatment as even once they are using the potty most of the time the reminders and practice etc is an ongoing process over a period of months but thsi gave us a ick start and she was out of nappies and mostly and clean on day one of this (but we had done a lot of pre-potty training using the no cry potty books idea's

iv got it and have read it atm in getting him used to the new potty i bought as he wouldnt go near the 'normal' one lol (ended up buying a fisher price chair thing that plays a tune when he does anything lol)

my mum and dad are going away at the end of this month so im going to try then id like him potty trained by the itme i have no2 in jan but i dont see it happening lol

Hello, I used it and like you with the contented book, I just used bits and pieces and adapted her ideas to suit us.  I started training at 22 months and she will be 2 next Thursday.  I found it had some very good tips in there.  My DD was dry with wees by the middle of the first week but poos have been harder to tackle. I'd recommend a browse of the book, although my friend is completely against Gina Ford so its personal choice.  Louise 36+2 with #2

ive got the book but not tried it yet, bought it ages ago coz waterstones had it on bogof and i wanted another one in ther on same offer

No one then???

I meant when my little one was younger I used the Contented Little Baby Book - not when he was older!! How thick am I?

Anyone tried the book??

Hi, I bought this book as I loved Gina Fords Contented Little Baby Book when my lo was older. I didn't stick rigidly to the routines, but adapted them to suit my lo as she suggested and it seemed to work well.

I was wondering if anyone has used the potty training book and what they thought of it.

Any tips?
