hi i would leave her till shes ready dont push it and dont worry it will happen when she wants it too sit back relax and enjoy the baby years.

Again thank you for all yourreplies. Have decided to leave it a few weeks then go for it wuth the all or nothing type of attitude and hope it works.

 Wasnt going to go back to the nappies this time but wasnt expecting the reactions we got, guess its her way of saying she not ready yet.

i'd leave it a month then if you think shes ready try again but get rid of nappies totally. use them only for naps or bedtime. I think it needs to be all or nothing really. shes bound to have accidents but give it a few days xx

Thank you for all your replies, think I may leave it a while as it is not just the accicents that are upsetting her, she is refusing to sit on the potty now.

 We have had two potties out for over a year now so she knows what they are and what they are for. Her dolls also have potties which we have been siting them on for added reassurances and we sit with her reading a book or something.

 We have been giving her loads of praise when she has done something on the potty and not making a big thing of the accidents.

Im not expecting her to get it straight away but I guess I wasnt expecting her to get so upset by it all.

Again thank you for your replies. Then when we try again I will really go for it.

i started my lo sitting on the potty with his bottle and if he went he used to get loads of praise and a treat so he got used to the potty its also been out since he was a year old, i found that if you sit them on it with a drink and watch a program together or read a book so they stay there for a while you can catch an accident and praise highly for it so they learn good things come from sitting on the potty, ive also got some training pants which are like re-useable nappies but as pants so if they go in them they can feel its wet but it stops most of it going on the floor i use these instead of nappies in the house and im always asking if lo needs a wee.

It's up to you but you have to do one thing or the other or she will be really confused. It doesn't sound to me that she is quite ready yet. I'd be tempted to stop the upset and stress and wait until she shows you some signs that she is ready then when she is just go for it - stay in for a few days and really give it a good go. x

To be honest with you im not sure its wise to keep putting her back in nappies as you giving mix signals she isnt gonna just sit on the potty and get it straight away the first week of potty training with my son he pee'd everywhere but the potty, might be best if u just in the house is just stick a t-shirt on her and let her run about naked as that wat we did with son and now we only started putting clothes on him,

and just keep siting her on the potty like every 15mins i had to do that with son then kept extending the times now he goes himself though still wont ask so not to fun out and about

Hi there, my lo was 2 in April.

A few weeks ago we tried to potty train her but with no sucess. She started to refuse to sit on the potty so we decided to leave it a few weeks but leaving the potty out.

Anyway yesterday she started to show an interest again in the potty so tried again. But she had no sucess with the potty and lots of accidents which were really upsetting her so after a couple of hours she went back into a nappy.

 We tried again this morning but not long after getting her dressed into a dress and no nappy she had another accident, despite sitting on the potty 2 minutes before and not doing anything, and got really upset. decided to keep going anyway reassuring her but she had another little accident and got really upset so she is no back in a nappy and a lot more settled.

I guess what Im asking is is this the right thing to do, (thinking of giving up and trying again in a few weeks) or should we just keep going?
