I always subscribed to the view that they used the toilet a few times then you junked the nappies and bingo after a week it was sorted.. Andthatworked for child no 1 and twin 2 But twin 1 just wasn't like that AT ALL and blew my previous theory out of the water. We sort of had the worst case scenario (started Heber nursery and pooed his pants 4 days out of the first 5!!) I couldn't think about anything else They suggested he stay home till he got I sorted and as he is a twin we ended up sending them both back to magic moments for a week, and meeting with the head and nursery teacher to insist that they couldn't exclude him due to continence issues. honestly, I can't imagine a worst toilet training disaster. For 2-3 weeks he went to nursery and I was called him to change him most days... And then bingo, he suddenly began to get it. Now it all seems a distant dream. Funny how something is an obsession and you trulybfearbit will never end, and then suddenly it's sorted.
