Problem number one:
mu daughter has been peeing on the toilet for about 3 weeks now when she is at home. Today, for the first time she also went to gan without a diaper and it went well. The only problem is, she has to be naked (with pants). As soon as we put on underpants, she apparently thinks they are like a diaper and almost always pees in them. Not a lot, just enough that she feels it, stops and comes to tell us, but still. So for now, she's without, but obviously at some point she has to be with again, any ideas, tips?

Problem number two is number two. She refuses to make a BM on the toilet and will wait for her diaper (when she goes to sleep0. It's very hard to catch her making since she usualy has to in the morning right when she wakes up (and I dont even realizes she's awake). We've succeeded to get her onto the toilet twice in the past few days to make, with a diaper on. But now what?

Sorry I meant to answer this morning. Then the baby woke up and life happened. Glad you bumped it.

I think for #1 all you can do is go to underwear and let her get used to it. You will be changing clothes quite a bit for a few days, but hey it's warm out and at least the laundry will dry fast Smile

Second problem I haven't dealt with but I've heard it's common. Most advice I've seen is not to make an issue of it, and to let her slowly get over it. HOw old is she again? You might try a sticker or treat for every #2 in the toilet, but it's up to you if you want to go there or not...

Thanks racheleve.
She's over 2.5. She's very aware of what's going on and knows exactly when one uses the toilet. She knows she'll get a treat (a date, it's a major treat here) and a sticker, which sometimes she'll ask for, but accepts she will only get it when she poos.

So I should just keep trying with the underpants and not wait it out a little longer? I really dont mind, since it really is only a tiny bit, it's not a mess really, I just dont want to be pushing her.

I dont know what to suggest about underpants but about the number 2 its very normal, I was told by a doctor bc my daughter had the same problem that I should get a potty bc they like to feel secure and have their feet on the floor. also to let them sit on the potty first with their diaper on, then line the potty with the diaper but take it off and then take that away and let them do it in the potty as in stages like that, at the moment your daughter isnt properly wee trained so I would take it slow, my daughter had a serious problem with it and was trained number one for a long time and refused to do number 2 in the toilet

I would just keep with the underpants. I really believe the best way to train them is to just hold your breath and go for it.
