The official cerazette missing period support thread! NAME CHANGE

Proud mummy moment......sophia just did her first poo on the toilet!!!!! She was so proud =o)

I had the downs testing but I would terminate thats why I had it.

Fizzy water helped a bit as did lemonade. ..think the fizz eased the acid burning from the sickness so worth a try.

Pinky I really hope that it's your body getting ready and your actual labour will be quick!

Samie that's fab well done Sophia! She is so young too!!

Im trying my hardest to get her dry in the day before we go on hol so that I dont have a suitcase full of nappies.

Statistics show when babies were in the towel nappies they were potty trained much earlier so it can be done =o)

Ollie knows when he needs to go but no plans to potty train yet. Brandon was dry during the day by 18 months but I got nothing but grief from the health visitors as they said medically their bowels and bladder are not mature enough
With the next 2 I dont remember when they were fully trained but not until much later. Most ppl Ive spoken to wait until they are between 2 and a half and 3. When are you going away Samie? Bet she was really proud of herself, shes got such a cheeky smile :-)

Yeah she was super proud! I dont care what the hv say they make things up half the time lol dont quite understand the logic they say about most things....a lot isnt evidence based. Were not born to sit in wee and poo =o). I was reading children in Indonesia are trained from birth by their parents making a whistle type noise which by 9 months the kids knew it meant toilet so they are trained by 9 months!
I think the western world are influenced by brands so much that we believe when told they arent capable meaning we continue to buy their products for years.... just a thought!

Some facts....
In the 1950′s, 92% of children were potty trained by 18 months old. Today, roughly only about 4% of toddlers are potty trained by 18 months. In fact, only 60% are trained by 3 years old!

She has no pressure on her to do it so if we dont succeed then hey ho!
We fly out may 24th....its coming round so quick ahhhhh

Grrrrr
Samie I just spent ages writing a reply and it crashed
Im sure she is capable. I agree the HVs dont know what they are talking about half the time. I think it was in Victorian times the toilet trained very early by hanging the babies over pots. I also saw a programme once where they leave the babies au naturel all the time and when they recognise the different faces the babies pull they know they are going to go so dangle them over the loo or grass or wherever they are. This group on the programme were having a picnic all randomly dangling their babies in mid air with things coming out of them was very amusing!!

Samie I also agree hv are a waste of space for advise, I've never asked a question and come away happy with their response!!

I think it's fab your doing it now, i am a firm believer that mum knows best! My nephew was really easy to potty train literally a couple of weeks but my niece has been a nightmare!!

How is the planning going?

If it was summer id leave her naked most of the day so we could spot the faces. Luckily with poos most of the time if her nappy is off she will go get it to be put on so we now take her to the toilet, but wee's are a little harder to spot....hanging the over pots sounds funny =o)
I dont think it will be easy because were not directly training just offering the toilet and putting her on it occasionally and hoping it will click!

Planning is coming along slowly but getting there =o)

That's great Samie. They say girls are easier than boys too. I couldn't imagine allister using toilet in like 2-3 months at Sophia's age just because I think it's hard when he can't communicate with me and tell me lol. X

Samie it would be easier in the summer, but either way if your not worried then I'm sure it will click and be fuss free, it's good that she tells you when she needs to poo that's a good sign!!

Glad the planning is going well, did you go to the florist for inspiration?
