    Nope. Classic case of mum being well prepared and determined not to get stressed by accidents.

    DS was clean and dry within 3 days of starting potty training this time round. We had two previous attempts, the first six months previously and the second three months previously which were abandoned after 2 days because THEN he wasn't ready to be toilet trained. :D

    Having now toilet trained 3 children, one of whom had severe learning difficulties and autism, I do know how to do it thanks, and the post which you have quoted was specifically in response to OP's question about how she could stop herself getting stressed by accidents. Answer: make the clear up process easy and no big deal.[/QUOTE

    I dont know anyone who potty trained by buying twenty pairs of trousers, if you expect that many accidents, a child isnt ready.

    You do now.

    You clearly feel you know better. As previously stated, DS was fully potty trained in 3 days. So in this case you don't :D However, those 3 days were relatively stress free

    I got the impression that she had twenty pairs of trousers so she didn't have to wash clothes/pants every day if there was accidents.
