Potty training tricks and tips

Mines two and I let him run around naked -he has a hard time pulling up and down underwear- during the day when it’s just me and he runs right to his little potty which I’ll keep in the same room as him. And he tells me if he peed or pooped. Have you introduced the toilet yet? There are some seats with steps of you want to keep it on one of your toilets. (If you have more than one.) we got a little seat and a potty you dump because the bathroom I would keep it on there’s not enough room for the steps (it’s a powder room - 1/2 bath) if he’s got a time routine I would sit him down around that time so he will just poop on it. I also recommended teaching them to pee sitting down first as they aren’t tall enough to use a regular potty standing. The doc recommended sitting them on the potty after they eat for no more than 10 mins. No stimulation. But I did sing basic kids songs with mine.

Right. You ready? I followed the oh crap, potty training method which has its own separate chapter over three-year-olds because at this age, they are more resistant and challenging to potty train (apparently). I’m happy to send you some screenshots from the book which is on my phone, but basically we also started with no underwear or anything for a few days, so definitely have to stay home for a couple days and you want to see how he acts when he needs the toilet

Then you want to say “ this is where we go weewee now” “let’s try and get the wee wee in the potty” or whatever. Remember, it will take time, patience and lots of accidents. I highly recommend the book though.

No tricks here as I’m

Pregnant with my
First, but just wanted to say he is adorable!

I attempted with my son he was really good at first as his use to seeing me and his father sit on the toilet so was very familiar with it. Was happy to go on his and go for a wee then it changed he got lazy and starting weeing himself all the time. So iv stopped as I’m 10 weeks pregnant and couldn’t deal with it. I’m going to re attempt on the October half term and do what my sister done give him a. Chocolate button every time he does a wee for a praise. It took my niece two weeks to be fully dry using that method 😂 as she would force herself to go for a wee just to get a button and it worked. Good luck.
