I heard of toilet reducer. You attach it to the toilet so kids can use it.
Also, there's this baby potty that sings when you pee or poo. It makes kids laugh. You could get it and encourage D's to pee or poo so it makes noise for him. grin grin

I have heard it scares the s#÷+ out of some babies.... grin grin grin grin

Good day mamas.
Trust we and our los are fine.
pls I need tips on how to potty train my ds.

Will he be on diaper while at it? He does not just like sitting on that poo.even when he does,no pee or poo will come out.
he will be 2 by June.

If he is ready, just go straight to pants for daytime. I personally believe, you need to let them wet themselves a few times then they start getting aware of the feeling of wanting to pee or poo.

If he already gives signal of when he wants to poop then your work is half done.

If he hasn't, get pull ups and focus on poop first. When you see he is about to poop, go put him on the toilet, after a while he will start telling you. It will be hit and miss sometimes,

When you are confident that you are doing 100% or at least 90% of the poops in the potty or toilet you can then bite the bullet and go nappy free.

Pick a weekend you are free, no weddings or plenty waka,

Wear patience like an amour.

Keep repeating and asking, do you want to pee, and take him to the toilet 30 mins after the each change, if he didn't pee, reduce it to every 15 mins. He will still pee on himself like 5 seconds after you leave the toilet but remember he is the light of your eyes! And you love him unconditionally! grin grin

After a few days of doing this, the accidents will reduce.

Alternatively for days that you want to go to church or go out, you still have to be consistent, get pull-ups as it will give you peace of mind in case of accidents. And it is easier to pull down and back on, and it will teach him how normal pants work.
But you still need to be consistent and keep asking reminding and taking him to the loo at every opportunity.

For night time you will still need nappies As normal. Either the taped nappies or pull-ups style.


The below is not essential but it has helped me be consistent whether at home or out and about:

Personally I even have a mobile toilet seat I carry around with me. Dangling a 15kg child over a dodgy public toilet seat is not a funny something.

I also carry about flushable moist toilet tissue pack - dry tissue cannot work sometimes and it is not everywhere that you can get water for a rinse.

and a small hand towel - those electric dryers used to scare my dd. So we carry our own hand towel. We put all of this into a small carry bag.

Hope this helps.

@Fexcathy... Thanks so much. I guess this likewise, cos whenever he does it I do remove the breast entirely and he will be calm even without burping...

mama zaynie....completey......

Am glad you responded....will try the burping method also.

I called a paediatrician family friend and she said is likely to be colic as well.

It is always funny to me the way he does it...As if he is over enjoying the milk....

Better to feed on demand as their Tommy retains only a little at a time, try to put him to suckle as much as possible and relax.


Your breast milk will flow mine took almost two weeks to flow so well I was irritated by the way it will just soil my clothes all of a sudden and I will just be smelling of breastmilk. I had my baby through CS so bathing was just cleaning my body it didn't feel like bathing.

For now you could give him breastmilk first and then if not enough give formula please make sure there is no "jara" on the required formula quantity.

Okay thanks.

Thank God for school, my daughter will bring her potty, remove her pant, sit down on it and poo. She'll now tell anybody poo poo so we'll wash her bum cheesy wee on the bathroom floor, squatting down.

Just keep trying and don't wear diaper all the time at home, always ask him if he wants to poo poo or wee wee. First thing in the morning, give him water(makes my daughter to poop), put him on the potty, tell him poop you hear in his baby language, highfive him if he does or maybe show him the poop and tell him "my baby is a big boy, you see you poo poo here, clap for yourself cheesy" If you notice he's making the poo poo face, put him on his potty and stay with him.

Worked for me thoo and school also helped out.

Hope Adanne and bobo is good? Greetings.

What my sis did with my niece was always make her sit on her potty every morning immediately she started sitting without support
With time she got used to it, even b4 she started talking
whenever she wants to poo she cries till she's put on her potty
Altho it took her some time for urine but she got used to d potty when she wants to poo
