potty training

[babalicious]

Any tips or advice please, my son is 3 in march and doesnt seem to show any signs of wanting ti come out of nappies. He will sit on the potty or toilet for ages but seems afraid to actually wee or pooin them, he get really anxious when he need a wee, then he will sit on the potty but still will not let the wee come out so i end up putting a nappy on! please help!

He will do it when he's ready. There is no point trying to get him to use his potty before he wants to because he will just become upset. It will happen, honest.x

katies right. My son is 3 in July but has been doing poos on his potty for almost a year now.

he will do a wee when sat on the potty though but doesnt recognise when he needs a wee so is still in nappys.

We started by putting him on the potty next to the bath when running it. That at least gave him the urge to wee.

Have you tried a toilet seat or even letting him stand up to wee?

Of course nothing will work until hes ready.

Mini Boo has only recently started being potty trained throughout the day and she was 3 in December. She now only wears nappies at night, but it was a struggle.

I was introducing the potty on and off since she was about two and half and wouldn't even sit on it at all, even with clothes on, to watch telly nothing. Infact, she'd leg it each time I got the damn thing out the cupboard!!

In the end I told myself that she'd get there eventually, afterall, no child goes to school in nappies! And begger me if she didn't just 'twig' one day and did it all by herself- no holding her back now!

my son is 3 in may and is finally out of nappies in the day. i remember asking the same question on here a few months ago and people said he will do it when he is ready and it worked, he is now dry all day. i tried to make it a fun thing, he liked to put something in the bottom of the potty and found it amusing when he weed on it, just a bit of paper or a sticker or summat.
the worst thing to do is keep putting her back in nappies, i did this for a while but it kust confused him. i woke up one morning with the determination to be patient. i stopped putting nappies on him and let him run about with nothing on his bum in the house and when he weed on the floor i just placed him on his potty and asked him to stay there for a couple of minutes, i didnt shout but made him aware it was naughty. after 3 days he was doing it him self, then two weeks later we could go out without his nappies. try not to go out to far for the first weeek or so. my son still says he dont need a wee but when i take him toilet he does it. try to make it into a game for him, try a sticker chart or a special treat box, when he uses the potty let him have something out the box.
every child is different
