I know not technically potty training but I thought this was the best place for it!
I wondered if anyone does/have done this and could give me some advice?
Basically while I was off over Christmas I read Diaper Free Baby that my friend had lent me. Loved the theory and by the time I went back to work two weeks later I was catching all Esmé's poos on the potty. Unfortunately It was at this point that I went back 4 days a week and we couldn't keep it up
We spoke to the nursery a few weeks ago and they said they'd happily sit Esmé on the potty during the day just to introduce her to it. They now sit her on it at every nappy change though has only wee'd once.
At home during nappy free time it is very obvious she's holding it, it can take her 90 minute before she'll wee now even after a massive drink of milk. She usually lets out a really tiny wee and then if I time it right I can catch the main (huge) wee on the potty. A handful of times now she has sat on the potty and wee'd with no prompting at all.
She tends to jump on an off the potty during nappy free time and apart from occasionally trying to distract her with a book or toy I don't really try and get her to stay on the potty.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to keep going with EC in the limited time I have at home with her?
Thanks!
