Essential Potty Training Items

Things you can’t do without when potty training

1)  A Potty – The Baby Bjorn Potty Chair is good because it’s comfortable – the cheapest I can find it for  is £16.99 from Boots (comes in a variety of colours)

Or there’s always the Fisher-Price My Potty Friend. This all singing, all dancing potty is the King of Potties! It’s £32.99 on Amazon.

2) Trainer seat

The First Years Soft Toilet Trainer Seat £14.50 from John Lewis is great because is has handles, ideal for younger ones to help them balance.

3) Portable Potty – essential when you are going out.

The Tommee Tippee Portable Potette Plus and liners £13.49 from Amazon

This product is fantastic. Not only can it be used as a portable potty, the legs fold out and it can become a trainer seat to go on top of a loo too. Why didn’t I come up with that idea???

4) Supply of wipes – e.g. Pampers Kandoo Sensitive Flushable wipes

Miltons wipes are also useful to clean the portable potty seat if you’re out an about.

5) Supply of underwear

Pure Cotton Heart Print girls briefs, £2 for 5 from Marks and Spencer

Primark also do 7 pairs for £2.

I bought training pants and Pampers Pull Ups Feel and Learn nappies but didn’t need to use them.

6) Leggings/Tracksuit Bottoms – they are easy to pull up/down in a hurry and you can change your child in minutes if they have any accidents.

7) Nappy bags – to wrap clothes in for accidents

Several changes of clothes when you go out - you never know when you’ll need them.

9) A supply of treats!
