Potty training 2 year old.

Has anyone potty trained? I just started today with my daughter and I don’t know how to feel. I just want to give up lol 😭😭 she’s so smart but she keeps having accidents and then comes to me and says she peed herself. But like how can I get her to realize she needs to pee before she just does it on herself?!?

Don't push her. Because if you push them to go potty, they delay longer. I'm kinda in the same boat with my son but it's hard.

Pay attention to how much time between accidents and then set a reminder alarm for a little less time than that to put her on the potty

I’m here to learn, I haven’t started yet, I need tips

That’ll happen they have to learn to control it, after about 2 days they realize it. So just give it time. It took my son 3 days to be potty trained, I did the naked method. The first couple days he would tell me when he was doing it or just after and by the 3rd day he understood how to control it

@Kaitlyn I’m not. She is fully aware and enjoys the potty. She doesn’t show any resistance.

@Sarah good idea!!!

@Kourtney I almost wish I’d bought books 😂

@Nikki I was doing underwear but we’ve already changed it six times. I think it reminds her of the diaper so now I’ve just taken it completely and let her be naked as well.

I'm going through the exact same thing. I've been using training underwear. She peed all 5 pairs in the first few hours. I think I'm going to go the naked method too

Reading for tips! I just bought all the things for my little one and I'm excited but nervous lol

I’ve just been taking him to the bathroom when I know he needs to go, to set a positive tone for it and get him to realize that he controls when he goes. sometimes when he doesn’t really need to, he pushed a lot anyway and still pees and that’s a good sign. I’m very slowly transitioning, still haven’t decided to fully dive in cause yeah he needs to be super ready or else it’s just more work than I have to

Can someone please explain in steps how to potty trained, I haven’t started yet but I bought the step toilet but my daughter is afraid of it, should I get her a small potty? Help please

I set a timer every 20 minutes and that worked for me😊after a few days accidents happened but he started feeling uncomfortable when he was wet so he started going by himself

@Mafe we use the small potty because my daughter also is scared of the big one lol

I potty trained my twins in April. I kept them bottomless for 3 full days and kept them in one room majority of the 3 days (living room/kitchen). We brought our little potties to the living room for easy access, practiced sitting on them every 30 minutes for as long as they would sit. Keep activities available, take advantage of screen time. Mine would watch some tv while sitting on the toilet and if they went while watching their show it was an easy win and still got lots of celebration. I gave them juice so they would have to pee and have more opportunities to practice. There were definitely a lot of accidents day one which is totally expected, they’re learning to understand the feeling of having to go. Day 2 was a lot of starting to go, but catching themselves and telling me “I’m peeing” so they could finish on the toilet. By day 3 they were pretty consistently able to tell me they needed to go and would sit on the toilet themselves. Day 4 I moved the toilets back to the bathroom.

@Megan thanks so much for sharing!!! That’s exactly what we did, I have her potty in the living room for easier access and makes it easier for her to see and remember. I did the no bottoms yesterday but today she asked me for underwear so I just gave it to her and I’ll see how she does. And wow you did two at once. 😭😭 I never realized that when you have twins that also means DOUBLE potty training 😂

Yes! Definitely makes the first days so much easier. So good she wants the undies, hoping she has a great potty training day today and makes progress! 🙏🏼 you’re doing great! And yeah, double potty training was definitely an experience! 🫠 I thankfully had a good idea of the process from their older sister, I would have been overwhelmed if it was my first time lol.

@Megan you’re so sweet!! Thank you mama ♥️♥️♥️
