Sitting on toilet and not doing anything

No don’t stop, it’ll confuse them. Just persist with it. It’s good they’re showing an interest in sitting on the toilet at least. It’ll come x

Continue to encourage her to sit on the toilet, for example before bath time or nappy changing. But don’t force her, else she will loose interest

Thank you both. If she's not doing anything on the toilet, what could I do to encourage her to go? She just sits on the toilet as if that's all she needs to do and then wets her pull ups...

It’s a good sign she’s sitting on the toilet. You can read her books about toilet or watch YouTube videos so she gets more understanding of the use of toilet. Also just talk to her more about wees and poos goes in the toilet. And just continue to praise her for sitting on the toilet.

I mean, technically speaking a pull up is a nappy so there's no incentive to go on the toilet... I'd cut the pull ups completely (except nighttime of course) otherwise you're just going back. It takes time and patience and a lot of "do you need a wee?" - sometimes for many months! For example, my nephew was potty trained quite early at just past 2yo and it took probably close to a year of nagging him until he got more reliable (personally I think he just wasn't ready but obviously not my child, not my problem). Ours has been nappy-free for a couple of months now and it's been a mixed bag. Lots of reminding, lots of sitting her down on the toilet/potty, lots of accidents. She's now had 3 days with no accidents (but also hasn't pooped in 2 days...) but I'm sure she'll still have days when she needs 5 changes of clothes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pull ups are nappy’s just different putting on method! Apart from practising how to pull pants up and down they won’t help. Best way in my opinion is nappy free, consistency is key if they’re ready they’ll catch on pretty quick. If the accidents outweigh the success on the potty they’re not ready and stop otherwise they get confused. Keep talking about potty, read books about it with her and talk about big girl pants let her go and choose some. We started a few weeks after my son chose his pants he randomly said one evening he wanted to wear them (he didn’t want to prior whenever I asked him) and from then on apart from bedtime he’s been in pants. He had accidents all morning on 1st day, he didn’t recognise when he needed to wee so I kept an eye for the signs i ended up giving him a big bottle of juice as a treat half hour later he was acting odd so I put him on the potty and he wee’d he was so excited we all celebrated every wee and poo for about a month!

I do think a lot of the focus gets put on “the potty” and not enough on the pants. The pants is the main thing that changes they go from wearing super absorbent nappies to pants that don’t absorb the potty/toilet is a tool to help them so they don’t get wet/dirty. We made wearing big boy pants really exciting for him and he felt really proud to wear them.

I agree! We had a similar start. One morning, out of the blue our little one said she wanted to wear pants so we obliged and never went back (except bedtime). I don't think she was necessarily ready, hence quite a lot of accidents but because it was her choice we persevered and I feel like she's finally getting the hang of recognising that she needs to go before she actually goes :)
