because both my girls do it,& the more people i talk to say their kids strip down to use the potty too. give it time. it's not like she'll still be doing it in kindergarten! lol

I have heard that if you put toilet paper in the bowl it will stop the splashing that usually scares them,.. I successfully toilet trained my eldest who is nearly 5 yrs old without any problems but my youngest 2yrs and 8 months poos in his panties before going to the toilet,.. He has taken himself to the toilet for poos too sometimes but its more in his panties,.. I can understand your frustrations though,... I wish my 2nd would be toilet trained fuilly as quick as my eldest and now its coming into winter in a few months I hope he gets it before then....

Children feel insecure when learning to go in the potty, that's why some kids won't poo in the potty for a while after they've learned to pee in the potty. Just don't push her. Let her do it on her own. Rewards work wonders!

maybe she doesnt like using the potty have you tried getting a seat for the toilet and try her using that. My son wouldnt poo on his potty but would do a pee. I bought a seat for the toilet and he went on that no problems. If that doesnt work then she probably isnt ready yet so maybe leave it for a couple of months and then try again. Sometimes its just getting them used to pooing sitting down cause most babies poo standing up when they have a nappy on. Hope this helps. Good luck you'll get there in the end.
