Big Little Feelings has a great course on potty training we just bought it and are listening to it and it's been super helpful. It's our first go at it too so we need all the help we can get😅

Omg Im in the same boat! Except for another baby part.

Me too I take mine every 15-30 mins

Ditch the diapers/pull ups and go cold turkey with putting them in underwear or bare-bottom. Also the sticker/reward system works for some and not preferred by some but the daycare started it with us and mine seems to like it. Taking them to the potty every hour and asking every 30min. Whatever you do just start somewhere and stay consistent once you do. Good luck!

Please keep diaper free as much as possible. Slowly they start understanding the signal.

There are many sources but every kid is different. I did this with my daughter at 27 1/2 months. Before I knew I was pregnant 😂 I kind of followed the book “oh crap potty training” but also went by how my daughter took to the process. -First couple of days - bottom less and place on potty like every 30-45 min. Yes accidents happen don’t over react but place your little on the potty. If possible, seclude a room for this time. If not, like in my situation, I just traveled in the house with the potty. 😂 -after having less accidents and more routined, she was placed commando with loose bottoms. That way there was no construction feeling like a diaper. Basically kept her like that for a couple weeks. More my thought but she was doing great and I was able to see that she started holding longer and being able to train using our toilets and then public toilets. This was all done before adding underwear. Now she is doing great. She is only daytime trained. Nap/Bedtime in diaper

All kids are different and this is a milestone. Understand if rushed to quickly before they are ready, they may regress. Also, because you are expecting a new little 🥰 they may regress during that change of family matters.

So we just went straight to bare bottom or underwear. You are going to have accidents, so I tried to keep a towel under him when he was sitting in the couch or chairs. We also were outside alot, so less clean up haha. Also asked him if he needed to go every 30 mins. We also did a sticker and treat reward system. Find a treat they love, his was Cadbury eggs 😅 so every time he went pee he got 1 sticker and 1 egg. And every time he went number 2 he got two of each. Really praise them and make it a big deal every time they go, make it exciting and fun.

We also did the bare bottom, asked often if he wanted to go, two potties on one side and another side of the house, also giving a choice to use either of potties or toilet with toddler seat (they love choices). Be ready for lots of accidents especially when you start putting something on his/her bottom. Also, between 2.5 and 3.5 years old is the hardest age to potty train - learned it the hard way with my 5 year old.

Hi there I just started potty training with my 2 year old this past Monday, I got some great advice from @pottytrainingcollege on TikTok she makes the steps really easy to follow for us parents. I hope this helps you like it’s helping me.

I’ve heard a lot of people who swear by the no pants method for 2-3 days but I was too chicken 😅 we actually just switched from pull-ups to training underwear & a potty watch which seems to be going well
