potty training - POOS!!!!
I need some advice - I started potty training Henry on Saturday and he's doing really well, we only had one accident today and 10 wees in the potty but we had a poo in the pants!!! We had a poo on the floor in the corner of the room on Saturday and in his nappy pants on Sunday!
He knows he's supposed to go on the potty and I do constantly remind him but he usually makes it just in time! He is a very private pooer and tells you off if you speak to him whilst he goes so I'm at a loss as what to do now!
Is anyone else having this problem? I've tried putting remains down loo and showing him! I've ordered a reward chart too!
The problem is he doesn't really like the toilet yet and the three seats I've got are rubbish - they slip all over the place, potty training is soooo tricky!

Max announced on Sunday morning that he did not want a nappy on only big boy pants so he duely had some on and stayed dry ALL morning even on the potty no wees at all - then when it came to nap time we told him he needed ot have a wee on the potty before nap or his bed would get wet, he sat on his potty thinking it over for about a minute then stood up and said 'oh i'll just have a nappy on then' - ;little bugger!!! So we haven't gone anywhere near no nappies again yet! He has shown NO SIGNS up until sunday mornings announcement though so I am not bothered!
As for toilet seats - we have just bought one from b&q which has a kiddie seat that slots into the lid and is held up by a magnet so its out of the way when adults use the loo. Its too strong for a lo to pull the seat down so it needs leaving down all the time when lo is using it but other than that its great. It was ??35 though which I might not have willingly paid if we hadn't needed a new toilet seat anyway!
Good luck
we went to my mum's today and took potty with and he had no accidents - even managed a 20 minute car trip!
He didn't poo today so I couldn't try the private potty idea!! I've heard that it is because they're used to squatting and sitting is more tricky?! Def going to try and catch it 2m, trouble is he plays on his own a lot now and with Isabelle it's tricky to keep an eye on him 100%! He seems to be waiting for opportunities - as soon as I'm out of the room or feeding Isabelle he poos, must be keeping it in bless him!
He did a wee earlier and I took the top part of it to flush away and went to the toilet myself and he came running in and grabbed his potty, put it back in the base and did a wee! So cute!
Kia - ??35?! hubby would never shell out that much! Other thing is we're on 3 stories so have to have 3 potties and 3 training seats - that's why I've been buying the cheaper ones!
I can't believe Max said that to you!! lmoa!! He sounds like he's 2 going on 12!!! Henry would never say that to me! It's a blessing if he goes for his day time nap willingly let alone listening to reason beforehand!

And get you going off swimming!
worried about taking him out and about now though - anyone got any tips, don't fancy taking a potty out with me but think I may have to!
We got a comfy toilet seat from Kididcare.com that seems to fit our toilet well and that was about ??10 as well, did manage to get one from TKmaxx but they are so hit & miss!
Good luck with future poos!!
