Potty Training Advice
Hi guys. With my LO we have done no bottoms for 2 weeks and she has been amazing, considering she is speech delayed and doesn’t speak yet, but with no bottoms she goes to the potty by herself and sometimes when she gets too indulged in playtime, you can see her straining and i get her on the potty straight away. No accidents thus far. However I need to advise on how to do potty training with pants, Because I boil little knickers and she seems to think its a diaper and she just wets herself so now im back to no bottoms inside the house but i don’t know how to train her with knickers, also considering the speech delay

@Megan thank you i will definitely be trying that and the signs as well
Does she know wet and dry? Try playing games around these concepts, maybe with a wash cloth in the bath and use signing to reinforce x
@Gem omg thank you. Such a good idea

I’d suggest now putting her in bottoms (joggers/trousers) without kickers for a bit. That way she’ll get used to feeling something there but it will feel looser and less like having a nappy on. Going straight to knickers/pants can trigger muscle memory and result in accidents as they feel like a nappy. Could you maybe teach her to use the Makaton (or another sign) sign to signal to others when she needs to go?
