Diaper Change Chaos

Time to potty train mom. Put him on the toilet. Time how long it takes for him to potty after he eat or drink. Start taking him to the potty with that time. I also counted with mine during that time because he was interested in numbers. Now my daughter is in that stage and we just go to the potty. shes 19 months and tell me she has to potty or takes her pull up off herself.

Changing to pull ups for a really active toddler like this is a great move. My son is like this and sometimes I admit…I put on Mrs Rachel and change him because at least he’s standing still!
When it comes to changing him elsewhere I tend to change him somewhere he has something he can hold onto (preferably something to look at as well), grab his first foot and say “this one please” and then the other foot and repeat.

I tell him it’s time for a change and if he runs around I take him to his room and close the door so we are just in that smaller space together. If he doesn’t come to me by himself, I grab
him and put him in a good spot for a standing change.

Hope any of this helps!

I started doing standing diaper changes at first then he started fighting those as well. For poop diapers we would usually just wipe as much as possible and wash in the shower. But like your boy, it was a fight regardless what method we tried after a while.

So I finally decided to potty train him and it’s been the best decision. It’s been about a month now and he tells us when he needs to potty, poop took a little longer but he tells us now. We do put diapers on once he falls asleep just incase and to just use up the diapers we have left. But we take it off right away when he wakes up and take him to the bathroom right away otherwise he will use the diaper instead. He’s also been waking up in the middle of night to let me know he needs to potty too. He’s 19 months right now.
