My 3.4 yr old ds says NO to potty training

But if she goes in them it's no big deal. They fit her better than diapers do. I tried regular panties and she just wasn't ready yet. When mine were little I got some cloth pullups: they had an absorbant cloth inner lining, a plastic middle layer, and a cloth outer layer. The plastic inner layer stopped most leaks, but becasue the inner layer was cloth, they still knew when they had been. They were a good half-way house between nappies and proper underwear. -- Penny Gaines UK mum to three |

I haven't found one anywhere close to small enough to be easily carried around. Even the topper takes up a big chunk of space. |

I haven't found one anywhere close to small enough to be easily carried around. Even the topper takes up a big chunk of space. I just took one of those basic potties round with me with #1. Yes it wasn't the smallest, but I kept it in a plastic bag and it really was less hassle than dealing with toilets when she was that little and scared she'd fall in. I use the bus so I try to keep to a minimum of what I carry round, but that came in as essential. Debbie |

Would that I had a child that would go while simply being held on the big potty! Even with a potty ring, being held, and as much gentle reassurance as I could possibly provide the Bug has twice gone 12 hours without peeing on a cross country plane trip rather than use a public toilet. When we got to her Nana's house she initially said she'd hold it for the next few days until we got back home! (That lasted about 1 minute.) She's got the bladder to do it but I can see for a kid who didn't that the portable potty might be worth it. Kate, ignorant foot soldier of the medical cartel and the Bug, almost 4 years old |
