How do you potty train?

I bought the oh crap book and followed her method reading the book gave us the confidence we needed to start

They have to learn the feeling of being wet then the sensation of oh I need to go to the potty but to begin with you could just use a timer and get him used to going and sitting to try wearing either nothing or something loose I did jammie bottoms or you can try pants

Oh crap method

We use the oh crap method which is basically no nappies.

Dr. Becky guide. It’s just a pdf so it’s not that long and has answers to any questions you’d have.

I would read to him this cat book that would use the bathroom and then I went no diapers... I got a goodie basket that he could pick little fidgets from once he used the bathroom correctly. He mastered pee on day 2. And poop a little later. Got him a stepping stool on adult toilet. Only had 1 accident.

No nappy for 10 minutes for the first week, then move it up to an hour and so and so on. We got a sticker chart for every time she used the potty or the toilet and she loved it x

Lora Jensen method. Our daughter was toilet trained by like 2 weeks. Only have had 2 nap accidents. Worked great!

We just went nappy free and very often either asked if she needed a wee/poo or got her to sit on the potty to try.

Had a couple accidents but she eventually got the hang of it.

We followed the Oh Crap method

I personally did a longer approach than most people do. I’m a SAHM and had the time to be able to do it that way. I started slowly and didn’t put any pressure on it and we just learned 1 skill at a time - getting dressed and undressed by themselves, getting onto the potty, washings hands, wiping, learning the routine of it. Once she had all the tools we went no undies and did a sticker chart and timer every 30 minutes. Slowly over time I stretched it out to 2 - 2 1/2 hours and now we don’t use one at all. At night is kind of up to you. Kids brains don’t generally develop the part that wakes them up to pee until like 5 I think it is. Some kids do it early and some pee the bed longer because they can’t help it. Potty training is tough good luck to you!

I tried the no diapers cold-turkey method at like 2.5 or 3 years old, but my daughter is sensitive and it was humiliating for her. She’d weep bc she didn’t want to sit on the potty but also couldn’t hold it in and would wet herself.
I said screw it and didn’t potty train her. She’s now 4 and doesn’t really need pull ups anymore. She just potty trained herself, with very little grief front either of us. All she needed was support and encouragement. I think the cold-turkey was not for her

We used the oh crap method. I read the book and it all just made sense to me. It was tiring but once it had all clicked in place it was so much easier.
