Having tried the Gina Book I would say personally it didn't work for us and I threw it. I wouldn't want to say do the same in case it does work for you. We just went cold turkey in the end and stayed in for a week ( hard I know but I have a baby too, so couldn't face going out and dealing with accidents. It worked, as he did have accidents but they got less and less. I stopped asking too and just let him work it out, soon I could tell as he was holding himself so could suggest a potty trip might be good. As for poos, we only had one 'present' but then he seemed to just get it. He didn't like having to stop what he was doing and still doesn't, sometimes holding on until the last moment.! I told him his bum is much cleaner now too and I think seeing his younger sisters poo bun helped. I would just say try to relax and I'm sure it will work out fine. We still use night pull ups at the mo, as he demands a drink just b4 sleeps. This I am working on next ! I like what snowboader says about poos as I know some kids don't like doing them, so I'm sure a fun story would help. Potty training in no fun, it is exhausting but now we have come out the other side, its sooo much better having him all grown up !
