posted 11th Jan
My daughter will be 2 at the end of this month and for the past 3 months I've been trying to potty train her but she wants aboslutely NOTHING to do with it... Anyone have any tips, tricks or ideas on how to potty train a very stubborn baby girl???? Help!!! I am due in 5 months with another child and I really am hoping to not have 2 little girls in diapers..

you can't force her. The harder you push the more anxiety it's going to cause her and take longer.

I have two kids in diapers(6 month old and 23 month old). It isn't the end of the world I have been trying with my almost 2 year old for a few months and he gets when he has to poop but rarely for peeing. So I just sit him on the toilet every two hours or so and he will pee but he doesn't tell me he needs to. For the most part he is really good about holding it except over night but I also know he wakes up during the night to come in my room so he will pee then. The rest of the time he runs around naked with no diaper or anything on. So maybe try taking her every half hour or so at first? It took us a while to get him to go consistently and then figuring out the best amount of time in between so he doesn't have an accident but so he doesn't get frustrated either.

My son will be 2 on Thursday and he is potty training
I waited until he chose to use the potty.some days he will use the potty all day long and somedays he doesn't want to and prefers a diaper
Just wait Til she's ready

She's not ready so its not going to work. Just wait until she starts showing you signs that she ready to train and then try again. My daughter just turned two a week ago and she has been asking to use the potty occasionally for the past 9 months but she is not ready to actively train yet, she just doesn't understand it yet.
Not even two yet is REALLY young to be trying to train her. The average age for a child to potty train is between 3 and 4. Even then it often takes longer to night train.

She tells me she has to go and then she smiles and laughs followed by to late mommy then I have to change her diaper. Its like a game with her one I am loosing. She was going to the potty in her potty chair regularly but she got sick and was having accidents so I had to put diapers back on here cause her diahrehea was bad. Ever since then she wants nothing to do with the potty.. If she has to stay in diapers then she has to but I would love to find tricks and such that gets her reinterested in using the potty.
