Think its bloody disgusting when a kid at two and a half is still kacking its pants

That comes across as very offensive in my opinion. Some people could also say that it's bloody disgusting to be feeding 12 month olds chocolate buttons. It's all about choice.

All children are different. My DS would sit on a potty but as soon as he had pants on he just forgot and would wee. I think us Mums get a hard enough time as it is without such negative comments from other Mums. You trained your child at 1, congratulations for you.

sorry but i keep laughing when i read the "kacking it's pants" bit!!!!cant believe it says that and i agree that all children develop differently and we musnt blame it on parents or judge anybody by not being able to perfectly perform by the age of 18 mths! i have done the same with both my girls and yet the first one couldnt poo on the toilet until she was over three years(very frightened) she wouldnt even wee and used to hold it in all day (not wetting anywhere/bone dry all day!!) and wee in bedtime pullup until when she was obviously ready it just happened and i wondered why i had been so worried! the second one was out of nappies during day by two and a half (which i think is fantastic!)and is not three until october but is now dry at night too(in knickers) which is nothing like the first she has been so easy with it all(but she is still scared to poo in toilet and does that in her pants i'm afraid!!!!)what must i do according to missk ensington????!!!!:rotfl: :eek: personally i am not phased by it as i think she is great getting up for a wee in night herself but i know missk ensington will finding the poo problem alarming that a mother can let this go on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!all i do is put it in toilet or bin if they are unwashable! and shower her down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! any tips??

across, a lot of children ive known have this same problem

my nephew 2.5 has been dry for ages but he asks for a nappy at bedtime so he can have a poo !!

a friend of mine,her daughter was gone 3 yrs and she decided to go cold turkey with it and got rid of pull ups for bed ,so she had to start going on the potty for a number 2 ( then later the toilet) as she didnt want to dirty her " princess" knickers lol

have you tried bribing ? with a sticker chart ,a sticker for every poo done on the potty then she gets to choose something when she has a certain amount of stickers?

loads of praise and bigging up the " big girl" thing

or if its not bothering either of you a great deal ,leave it ? my eldest son used to come home from nursery with a bag every day for weeks when he first started !! as he would poo in his pants

you think it will last forever lol ,then suddenly something just clicks and he stopped

put it this way she wont be in junior school and still pooing her knickers lol

Just remember that "age at which toilet trained" is rarely a question on a university application form.

They all do it in their own time and the less stressed we mums are the better imo.

I have a friend who is going through this and has tried reward charts, punishments etc. Even had him washing out his own pants on the advice of the health visitor:eek:

She has now just put the whole thing on hold and the family are enjoying their summer with their lovely boy back in pull ups

Tried the toilet paper with water but it just falls apart. What about kitchen towels with water? Will that block the toilet? I can have a roll of that in the bathroom. That would be definately cheaper than wipes.

Yes it will block the toilets-don't do it.
I also found toilet paper with water fell apart. Use toilet paper for 'clean' poos and for stuck everywhere ones what about normal wipes but put them in nappy sack afterwards and in bin.

My own DD has had attack of messy bum this w/end- all down her legs and just about everywhere else:rolleyes: I had no wipes in. I made her get in the bath whilst I hosed her down with the shower attachment:D

It is bloody disgusting! You take the nappy off and its all caked to his balls and back legs and up his back! Ewwww! And it isn't like a bit of thin runny baby poo, its a proper turd!!

I was in knickers day and night just after my 1st birthday and my brother a month or two later, so how can a 1yr old not have bowel control?!?!? And neither me or my brother have had problems in later life. It IS down to choice and I'm not making mother's feel bad, but for reasons listed above I desperately wanted to get my child out of the nappies. If other mother's don't have their heads down the loo at the prospect of a crappy nappy, then that's great, unfortunately I'm not one of them!!! It turns my stomach, especially when they wriggle and get it all over the carpet, or you get it up your nails!

The OP could maybe use standard wet wipes and buy a little bin to put next to the loo (like a sanitary bin/peddle bin) as an alternative?!?

Excuse my late addition to this thread, I've been in hospital since Friday having my pacemaker kick started so only just re-visited the discussion!

you use the word " balls" for your young son !!!?!!!

in our grandmothers day eg it wasnt unusual for babies to be " potty trained" @ 6 weeks old !!

doesnt mean we all do it in this day and age though eh and doesnt mean it was right for the children

you were probably left outside shops in your pram when you were a baby ,would we do that these days???????

lol just because it was right for you / your mum doesnt = right for your children / any child these days

Why have you bothered to have children if you are so adverse to poo?!

I still find your manner very offensive. In all honesty, I'd rather have a pooey nappy to change than feed my child chocolate at one year old to 'train' them. That's not to say I don't give my little one treats, but she's a child, not a dog (even if I do like Scooby Doo!).
