Potty training advice

[Guest guest]

Well, I can't do schedules as I forget them. So the only way that really

worked for me, in potty training was to wait until they figured it out

themselves which they generally do. I had a rule about two underpants days,

if you wet your pants twice in a day, then it is back in diapers. I made it

clear that this was because we didn't have many underpants and it never

occurred to my children at least that I should buy more (I would just have

said that they were too expensive). So if I were you (which I am not), I'd

just put her backn in diapers until she got better about using the potty on

her own cuz that's what worked for me.

As for peeing in the bath, well, I don't end a bath for that! Pee is

sterile...now poop in the tub, yes, we definitely end the bath for that.

I think if you keep her on the schedule for a while the need to go (and

asking to go) will eventually kick in.

Hi friends:

The summer is starting here and I am trying to potty train Dessirée. She

is actually very enthusiastic and goes on schedule very well, but she

does not ask to go consistently even though sometimes she does.

The other day I was changing her and she was naked from the waist down

and I got a phone call when I hanged up I went to look for her and she

was sitting in the bathroom and told me I am going to poop and she did

it.

Another time she peed on the bathtub and I told her we have to end the

bath because the water was dirty and that she is not supposed to pee in

there. The other day she was in the bathtub and told me, she needed to

pee I took her out she pee and went in the water again. Then again she

told me she needed to pee, but it seemed to soon to me so I didn't take

her out and she peed on the water. I had to end the bath.

How do you go from taking her on schedule to make her ask to go? Do you

think I should let her get wet and forget about taking her or should I

go on taking her and telling her that she need to ask? (accidents will

happen for sure). I don't really like the mess but if she needs that

what can I do.

Personally Cecelia,

I think considering Dessiree's age, she's doing GREAT!

I'd keep doing what you're doing and let the rest come naturally!

WTG!
