We were very proud when Gaia started using a potty and basically didn't have any incidents already after one week (she also sleeps without a nappy having wet incidents rather rarely). Though... this was only working for peeing. The number two bacame One Big Drama. After she realised what is actually happening to her body, she didn't allow anybody to touch her in those intimate moments (under the table). I learnt it can happen so after a few stressful times we got used to it and let her setting the pace. In the meantime, we bought educative books, a potty for dolls and tried to motivate her with a chocolate treat. In the end, her kaka book became her favourite and slowly shame and fear started dissapearing. After two months we are honored to have number two in a proper place too! And she is so proud of herself (and screams for her m&m obviously). As an experienced parent I can say now: do not worry, do not push, have faith, it will come! More tips here.
