[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here thank you again for the advice, we've not been leaving the diapers until full, so will change a lot less frequently.

There's no developmental delays,  we've had some tests to see if there's a reason she's got no idea when she wees or poos but nothing came up from them.

We can try training again, we found it quite difficult as we were ready to praise any success but we had none, when we've tried it ( we have tried twice)[/quote]

OP, you're doing fine. My DD was very similar -- we tried several times to potty train before it really started to take, and Oh Crap was totally useless for us. It just took more trial and error and repeating the training for her than it does for some other kids.

People on these boards can be really mean about kids who are potty training at 3. They trained their kids early, and this becomes the pinnacle of their parenting achievement and they are eager to insult other families who might have started later for whatever reason, or have a harder-to-train kid. It's actually sad. My kids are well past potty training age and I cannot imagine being smug about something so basic at this point. Trust me, in a few years all of this will be a distant memory and will not matter at all anymore, it's just somewhat stressful and pressure-filled in the moment because it's a major milestone for the age. You'll get there.[/quote]

So true

I waited until 3.5. Bought some good stickers. For two days, he peed through underwear. I bought pull-ups and he started using the toilet right away. The same day, he stopped peeing at night.

He is in underwear now almost always and we haven’t even opened second pack of pull-ups.

Every kid is different. But no, you don’t change after every pee. I was probably down to 3-4 diapers a day at the end. [/quote]

OP here thanks for sharing, she turned 3 in February so we're hoping we have the breakthrough soon[/quote]
