I asked on my PG but didnt get any information than what i already know.. so i guess i could ask here too :) We introduced Elody to a potty a little before 12mths just sat her on it got familiar with it, every so ofter we would let her run nude and she did pee and poo in there a few times doing that but she doesnt really *understand* that thats where she needs to go when she need to wee or poo.. the reason im so anxious to get her to go to potty train is because when she is in a nappy she will hold all her wee in and let it all out in one go - which soaks through her nappy and her pants and sometimes even goes to the ground.. Anyone have any tips or tricks to PT this young? Any information would be great - there is so much out there it is overwhelming to sift through!! I dont want to push her into PT when she isnt ready but whats the point of nappies when i cant keep her dry? WWYD? TIA

We tried, but Galete just didn't show enough interest to make it worth it.  One method that I've heard tends to work with OYOs is timed trips.  Basically, just take her to the potty every 20 minutes (to start with) and let her sit for a bit, maybe with a story or songs.  Gradually stretch it out to longer intervals.  Or you can watch her when she's nude and in theory she should show cues that she's about to go.  This is how people PT infants, watch for the cues and then get a potty to her or her to a potty ASAP, letting her know verbally what you're doing and why.  The idea is that they connect the experience with the feeling and eventually go by themselves.  There is a book out called "Early Start Potty Training" that I read when Galete was little, but warning, it talks a lot about how if you don't train in infancy, basically you've screwed up your chances entirely and your child will have all sorts of delays and issues.  Gotta take it all with a grain of salt.  : )  

There is also a PT board here on iV that may have better suggestions!   http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-pspotty
