Potty training

Following for future training

We just fished with my daughter. The Oh Crap book was immeasurably helpful. But overall staying committed, and staying patient were most important. The first 3 days we literally only ate frozen easy to prepare meals or delivery because we were so focused on catching her the second she’d pee. We stayed within arms reach and took her the moment she started to go. By the end of the third day she was telling us before she’d go and then by the end of 5 days we didn’t even really have any accidents. We just fished night training as well, but waiting about a month to do that

Oh.. and one total game changer was telling her to “go pee like mommy” (or daddy) when I was going to the bathroom. as soon as i was done I told her to try like mommy and she immediately went and after time that she’ll say she wants to “go like mommy”

following for myself and my baby as well

My guy has been potty trained since may he doesn’t speak really but signs. Started with teaching him the potty sign going every time he wakes up from nap/bedtime. Just a “goodmorning (check bed if wet) ask if they need to go potty because they are wet and take to toilet and sit them for a little bit.” Once I started I never went back to diapers. We did naps as well I know some people start with daytime and nap and later on try for night time. They say if he’s sleeping thro the night it’s also a good sign to start. I didn’t wake mine up unless he alerted. He sleeps in his own bed in his room so he will get up and knock on the door or he will cry so I can get him out of bed to the toilet. After any meals sit her down and talk to her about going potty like a big girl. Some people do a reward system we did not we just praised good listen. Also can teach wet and dry so they can learn the difference. We did underwear and it’s a lot of misses for sure and accidents try not to get upset

It will be stressful you have to keep an eye on them and when u see them wiggle or cross feet. Make them feel alerted (that’s what helped us) like oh potty run run and we rush to the toilet and does potty. And so on you’re are looking for them to be able to tell wet or dry, communicate they need to go, identify the urge to pee and finally learn to pull up and down their underwear we watched how to potty train a dinosaur read out loud story on YouTube. I stayed away from any books that rendered to go potty scary since that wasn’t our issue I didn’t want to expose him showing him that it can be scary.

No advice as we are currently into our 2nd month and still struggling, some things I’ve done are; asking every hour if he needs to go, and taking him every 1.5 hours even if he says no. Also I give him the choice of using his potty or the actual toilet, I think this helps as he feels he isn’t forced. He doesn’t like public washroom because of the noise when all the stalls are flushing constantly so we put his potty in the trunk for long trips. Yet to get him to poop in the potty or toilet, it’s a work in progress. Potty training takes patience and consistency…. Good luck
