When Gemma Pranita popped up a Q&A box to her 49,000 Instagram followers last week, she didn't expect the fervent questions that flooded in.

The formerNeighboursstar had just successfully transitioned her two-year-old from nappies to undies and thought she'd check if anyone had any questions about how she found the whole experience.

Yes. Yes they did. Hundreds of them.

So, she took the time to give an honest, detailed AF account of toilet training now that she has just emerged out the other end.

Of course, every kid is different, but here is a comprehensive list of all the questions Gemma received, answered.

How did you start toilet training?

As Gemma explained on Instagram, she and husband Matthew started with a three day 'plan' of just sucking it up and going absolutely cold turkey.

Chatting toMamamia,Gemma further explained she treated it as "life before nappies and life after nappies." She thought of it like 'ripping the bandaid off' in one go.

"We hyped up this idea of 'we're going to start toilet training on Friday' type vibe, and we talked about it every day that week," she explained.

They did a '30 minute rule' in those first few days, where every time the alarm went off it was time for Raffa to go and sit on the toilet.

"At first this was a novelty and she was quite happy to go. We'd sing songs and I had books in the toilet, but that novelty soon wears off and it becomes a bit more of a negotiation," she told her Instagram followers.

"The thing that got her to sit on the toilet the longest was using the Instagram app where you take a selfie and then draw on your face, blowing bubbles, and the Wiggles on YouTube.

"It was a huge effort. It suckssobad. But for us it was worth the effort and commitment because it's all behind us now," she said.

Did you do night training and day training in one hit?

Gemma said they had every intention of tackling success during the day before attempting the nights. But Raffa woke up for two straight weeks with dry nappies from day dot.

As she toldMamamia, she made sure she vocalised the plan with Raffa so that there were clear boundaries.

"We'd say 'you're going to wear nappies only at nighttime'. She got that... but she was one of these kids who managed to self night train," she said.

They had a similar plan in place already with dummies - they were only allowed for naps and nighttime - so Raffa adapted to the plan of attack pretty quickly.

"She did do a poo in the nappy just before bed a few times, but we just kept repeating the statement 'next time you do it in the toilet' over and over again," she explained.

"For us dry nights happened unexpectedly easily," she added.

How did you know your toddler was ready for the toilet?

Two-year-old Raffa had been toilet obsessed for months.

"Any time I would go to the toilet she would come and watch," Gemma told her Instagram. "She would always want to do the flushing... she wanted to talk about poo, play with the toilet paper. She was bodily fluid obsessed."

She also started to 'play toilets,' where she'd jump up and pretend to urinate and wipe herself.

"She'd do all of the theatrics of going to the toilet and I knew she was ready, but I wasn't ready for months so I put it off. In truth I probably could have toilet trained her back in February but I had a newborn," Gemma toldMamamia.

Instead, Gemma says she put it off for six months until her son was a little bit older, and she felt ready to tackle it.

For Gemma, the family being ready was just as important as Raffa being ready.

Did you consider pull-up training before toilet training?

No, and this was because Gemma wanted to minimise confusion from the very start.

"Let's go all or nothing, instead of just dipping a toe," she said.

"I didn't want to strap myself in for months and months of accidents. I wanted to go in for battle... I rallied everyone. I spoke to my husband, daycare and my mum and said 'we're going no nappies and there's no looking back.'"

Did you use a potty or go straight for the toilet?

Gemma had bought a potty, but Raffa had no interest. She also had no interest in the kid's toilet seat insert she bought.

"She sees me go to the toilet... so she had no interest in a potty or the seat," explained Gemma.

"My girl is a mountain goat, so she can quite easily balance on a toilet seat, so we just rolled with it," she added.

How long did it take to toilet train?

Three weeks.

However, the family has just gone on holidays, and now Raffa has regressed slightly because of the new environment and routine.

Did you follow any toilet training guides?

Gemma read them, but her advice is to "take them with a grain of salt."

She tried to follow a 'three day' schedule that promised to have her kid completely dry day and night in 72 hours.

"Yeah, nooooo," said Gemma. "It's not a one size fits all."

Gemma thinks the 'textbook style methods' are pretty good at making empty promises that leave you feeling crushed if your kid doesn't fit them.

How many undies did you need to take out with you?

Whatever you think you'll need, double it.

Gemma sent Raffa to daycare with five pairs spare at the start, and she went through every single one.

"So I started packing eight pairs... but gradually she'd need less and less," she toldMamamia.
