Potty training questioons
Here is the deal. DD is almost 27 months old and wears cloth diapers.
Lately, she's been taking off her diapers. Today, she had a diaper and pants on. She also took both of them off (for the first time) and handed me her soiled diaper. Imagine my surprise, hehe. I never potty-trained a child before. Is she ready to potty-train? DD has a potty chair waiting for the day when she is "ready", but she is hard to tell when she needs to go. Just the smell lets me know. I live in a carpeted place save for the kitchen and bathrooms, so I am concerned about letting DD run naked and have accidents during the potty-training. I have been reading about it, but I am more interested in knowing your experiences. So, what did you do with your child/ren? Any helpful tips? TIA. |

Potty training questioons
I let my girls guide me when they were ready. I didn't have to do the
bare-bottomed method because once they were ready, they went without any accidents. Until they can make the connection that they have to go, get themselves there on time, and get their stuff off, then IMO they are not ready. Potty training was easy as pie. I did not; however, take this method with my first and it was a living hell because it was me pushing her and her taking control and not going. It became a power struggle. Once I backed off and let her do the work, it was easy. -- Sue (mom to three girls) "Marie" wrote in message news:vy78g.964957$xm3.875576@attbi_s21... Here is the deal.

It's not called the naked and $175.00 potty training method for nothing. The $175.00 is for cleaning the carpets after the child is trained. g -- Dorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens .. The Outer Limits |

Potty training questioons
My daughter is half trained right now. What I have done this, I've cut her
fluids and give her about 3 to 4 sippy cups a day. Then I about 20 mins after she drinks them asks if she has to go. Normally she does. So I take her up she puts her seat on the potty and she goes. Then sometime during the time period in between she asks me to go so I take her and well sometimes she goes some times she doesn't. at night she wakes me up around 10pm and asks to go and we take her then. She also goes before bed too. Jennifer Ariana 8/17/03 Alex 6/4/05 "Marie" wrote in message news:vy78g.964957$xm3.875576@attbi_s21... Here is the deal.

Potty training questioons
My son was between two and three somewhere when we started and closer
to three when it took. We tried the potty chair with the magic star, but he didn't have enough piddle to make it change colors. We finally just bought a step stool that we placed in front of the potty in the half bath with a padded toilet seat always on it. We also bought those cotton training pants; they absorb enough for them to recognize "uh oh, gotta go potty" and not enough to make them feel it is okay to finish the job in them. We had a few episodes where the socks even got soaked, but he didn't like that enough to figure out when it was time to go. We also left his books by this potty. We have a cute pic of him sitting there reading with some safety goggles from his tool shop set on. lol. Anyway, the poo poo came later and once we all did the poo-poo on the potty dance, it took. lol. My daughter just potty trained herself through the night and during the day literally overnight. Next time she hands you a soiled didey, take the diaper to the potty with her along, put the poo in the potty and let her flush it to start and explain that this is where potty goes and ask her if she wants to try. If she says yes, put her on. At first, just sitting there like a big kid is novelty enough to spark their curiosity and pretty nifty to them when they make it to the potty. We also bought some potty stickers from Hallmark that we let him put on the training potty every time he first started making it there and ONLY if the potty made it into the toilet - it was some incentive. |
