Has anyone done this successfully?! If so, any advice to a toddler who holds it all in like a champ and just waits til “sleepy underwear” (aka overnight pull up) comes on and then pees? Whether nap or at night?
Day 1 she did great!
But day 2 she held it in before nap then again before going to bed.
We’re on day 3 now…

I’m starting this with my toddler tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it goes!

We did that!
We did a reward system where ever time he peed or pooped he got fake coins and he could turn coins in for certain prizes. We had a little shelf that was our “shop” filled with various things from toys to play doh and candy and a new movie

I’m having the exact same problem too ugh, and I don’t want to put a diaper back on so I’m putting underwear first then a diaper so he feels wet and hoping that helps. When they can hold there pee for that long they are definitely ready, just being stubborn I feel at this point, I’m on day 5

We just did this! By day 4 we were able go out. We made several trips out with no accidents that day. We are now on day 7 and I can’t say there have been zero accidents, but they have been so so minimal that I’m totally comfortable going places w her wayyy sooner than I thought I would be. Our reward system was 1 m&m everytime she peed and 2 everytime she pooped. I made a really big deal of her being able to get a “candy” when she peed. I had it in a clear jar I kept in the bathroom and I’d let her hold it to motivate her. I gave her TONS of water, juice, hot chocolate so she had lots of pee. We also got the potty train in 3 days book. I mostly credit it for like 3 small details I thought were super helpful, 90% I feel was common sense. But I do think that additional 10% helped make this a lot less painful of an experience. I also think it was helpful for me that my baby stopped napping a couple months ago so the mid day diaper wasn’t an option

I need help 😩 any tips

@daj have you read the potty in 3 days book? Start there for sure

that’s awesome! I may need to switch up the reward. I don’t think she cares about the M&Ms anymore lol

that’s encouraging to hear! Right now we are doing the same thing

Does anyone have any tips with trying the 3 day method and transitioning back to daycare?

I just had our first accident that I couldn’t immediately reroute to the toilet. I put on Bluey, so I could escape to the bathroom 🤦🏾♀️.

hot chocolate is GENIUS! Doing that right now lol

that’s great, I will have to try that, I did start the reward system this time around, I’ve been trying since he was 18 months and every time he’s got a break from Montessori school I go for it. I tell him he will get a piece of chocolate if he goes in the potty, day 5 and he holds it till nap and night time lols I know he knows by now since he sees other kids in class that r potty trained going to potty. Thanks for ur input so happy for u that milestone is met
Oh and idk if I missed the opportunity to do reward before because on the 12th of this month he legit went poop in potty and I didn’t think of a reward then and yup he didn’t continue going willingly 😓

And now she just pooped in her undies 😭😭😭 I’m so over this already. My patience is too small

I know how you feel, my boy held it for 5 hours and it was already past nap time and when I put him for nap he wasn’t sleeping so I checked and he wanted a change cause he of course peed himself in the underwear I put under his disposal diaper 🤦🏻♀️ ughhhh

I know it’s a lot more work but I would consider not putting a diaper on for naptime. Like put a puppy pad under them and let them feel the accident. Let them wake up to it. Maybe that would help? And then I’d just put them down a bit earlier that night if it messes up their nap

Update on progress! Started day 1, and after 4 accidents, we’ve had 2 consecutive peepee’s in the potty!!! He’s taking a nap now, but excited to keep going.

what a great idea! I’m going to try this! My 2 yr old tells me when she pee’s vs when she needs to go maybe this prize way will help!

I’ve given up lol, we’ll try again when she’s 30-33 months ✌️😆
