Thats a good point babymilly, and exactly my thinking until Hannah can actually understand what a wee wee or poop is then she has no chance and sitting her on a potty for half the day wont help either of us
Ahh so cute 1st knickers Lisa, hee bet its weird seeing them without a nappy on for so long. Im used to seeing Hannahs bum all nappied up. Def think unless Hannah goes really determined in the next 3 or so months then im going to leave it till end spring/ beg summer. I am quite laid back about most things so Im not going to jus tget in a competion with the other mummys who have lo's same age as H. Which it seems to be half the time.

I have been putting Wil on the toilet if I catch him pulling a poo face since he was 5 months old but it isn't potty training just reducing the clean up operation. He has also had a potty in his room for ages which he happily sits on fully clothed to read a book.

He now knows what wee and poo are and knows when he is doing it but until he decides that having a poo in his nappy is unpleasant I am not pushing the issue. I just ask him if he has done a wee or a poo when I see him pulling the appropriate faces. He has also become very interested in poo and insists on seeing it in the nappy before I flush it away.

If anyone is interested - the Mamu pottys are reduced in Argos from £12.99 to £4.99...I got 2 today and Izzy thinks its nice to sit on!

See I didnt think of the showing the poop going idea, sounds like a good thing to start doing, im going to get a potty this weekend just so its not all a great big shock for her when I start 'training' her. Ooo exciting stuff my baby girls growing up a bit more

Yeh I show Izzy everything going down the loo as I had read they sometimes get attached to their poos and wont do one

Its funny when she waves bye bye to 'poop poop'

I can totally understand that Lisa. Ha Hannah loves saying by by to things.Thats my normal way of getting her to let go of something she needs to put away etc, to avoid any tantrums, she seems so much better if I tell her it is going and to say bye bye, so def think this could work for us.
Lol reading that back i sound like a right fruitbat

hahah not at all - I say it about everything too! 'all gone bye bye' jeez I say it sooo much lol

Also she has a hissy fit if she leaves nunu upstairs so I say he has gone to bed and she is ok then

Wil says bye bye to everything but poos get special attention

I really have to stop him leaning so far into the toilet to yell bye bye poo
