Does Anyone have any potty training tips?
my son will be 3 next month and he does
not want to hear about potty training. i
had him potty trained for a weekend and
then he just stopped asking go. Yesterday
in the car he asked to go pee so i brought
him home and put him on the toilet and he
peed and had nothing in his diaper at all.
How can i get him to go to the potty all
the time? i need help! espescially with
the new baby on the way.. it will be a big
help to have him potty trained.
from what ihear boys are harder but it
might be hard as well as he realizes
theres another baby coming you may have to
lay off until the baby is born it depends,
sitting them on the potty every hr is my
guess. limit his liquid intake. have a
reward chart.

What seems to help most people is to spend
a full weekend doing nothing but potty
training. Take him to the bathroom every
15 to 25 minutes and have him sit on the
toilet. Some boys love to hold their pee
pee and hit cheerios or something that
floats with their pee. My son absolutely
loves that!! Don't use pull ups. We have a
digestive problem with our son and forced
to use pull ups because of a poop problem.
Due to this, he has reverted back to his
old ways and doesn't like using the
toilet. We can't put him in underwear
right now or he would ruin them with his
problem. Yet, when he is in underwear he
uses the bathroom. Pull ups are just like
diapers!
Your son really sounds very close. At
least he asked. That is a huge plus. I
really believe if you just did that for
one weekend (it will be a hard one), that
your son will be ready. Good luck!!
it will not only help to have him potty
trained, it will save you some money:)

reward charts also work with most
children. Never worked with my child as he
could care less about stickers or M and
M's.

The weekend you dedicate to potty
training, you need to eat, breathe, and
sleep potty training. Like .Karin said,
take him every 15-20 minutes and praise
praise praise for accomplishments. Make
it fun for him and he'll get there.
Expect to have accidents and don't get
discouraged.
I agree with the pull-ups. They are too
much like a diaper. One of the girls here
said she tried (or someone tried) putting
on regular underwear and putting a pull-up
over them so the child still felt wet when
he/she peed, but it didn't make a mess on
furniture or the floor. That sounds like
a really good idea.

I think that you should give your son
rewards like everyone is saying. =]]

Hmm, glad someone started a thread about
potty training. That's a good idea to use
real underwear with a pull-up (I started
writing depends!! Can you tell I work with
seniors?) over it.
My daughter is 15 months old, and I'm very
anxious to start potty training....but
what is the normal age to start? She's a
smart little cookie, so I think she'll
grasp the idea of it pretty quick. But
actually going potty in the potty will
probably be another story! LOL
i think girls can usually start earlier,
ive read books on potty training and
stuff, usually if they can go overnight or
through naps with a dry diaper then its
possible to start potty training them, or
ripping off wet or soiled diapers. My son
takes his diapers off and throws them in
the trash and i can hand him a wipe and he
cleans himself , he will sit on the potty
for a good 15 min but he has yet to use it
but he still has wet diapers through naps
and bedtime so ive taken a step back on
the potty training for now

Thank you all for your replies... I've
heard about the dry diapers at night, but
my son always pees so much at night but i
think that the cause of that is that he
has to go to sleep with a cup but i don't
know how to get him out of that... he just
always needs it or he wont go to sleep
without it so does anyone have any
suggestions for that?
thats a hard one, you shoulda stopped it
befor eit go to this point, my son doesnt
go to sleep witha cup, limiting there
drink after dinner like no juice or water
anything after dinner, then he can pee
before bed. im not sure about stopping the
cup thing, we just never gave our son one
when he went to bed, at frist he cried for
a lil but now hes used to going to sleep.
