Practiced full-time, part-time, or occasionally with babies who are younger than standard “potty training age”.

Idk I am just im...

Started putting baby in training underwear and ditching daytime diapers

I am just putting in an update from my post before. So this weekend we did an observation with the timing chart and so my husband could also observe. We listened to our audiobook of go diaper free about this transition and episodes 69-72 on the Go Diaper Free podcast, just to remember what to do honestly, it has bee...
