Potty training help

We waited until after I had the baby bc my husband had a month of paternity leave. We used the opportunity of that so my husband could stay on top of our toddler so there was consistency while I took care of the newborn. We also bought a new toilet seat with the toddler insert and that helped a ton. We did the 3 days naked and reward with m&ms. When you catch the first pee of the morning praise and reward. Do not ever get upset when they have an accident, it’s gonna happen and they’re gonna have regressions. We put her on the potty every 30 mins and if that got too upsetting or over whelming we did every 1-1.5 hours. Give LOTS of fluids! If they put more you can catch and reward more. My friend does stickers and that works real well too. The only bad thing about the 3 days naked is having to retrain them in underwear but it gets them using the potty!

We tried several months before I was due and just allowed everyone grace that it may not work. Luckily it did but if it didn’t I was going to wait until 3-4 months after baby was due to try again. Right before my son was born, my daughter noticed how much was changing. Don’t put too much pressure on everyone or it’s going to go horribly wrong and take much longer. My daughter needed more than 3 days naked, she would have done best with 5. To be honest, they are not potty trained until they tell YOU when they have to go and that took several months after we thought she was trained. The trick is getting them to go when you prompt. We used 1 piece of gummy candy when they did it right because the sticker and praise only didn’t work. We eventually stopped offering and just did praise and eventually she stopped asking. Blowing bubbles also helped with the sensation of having to go and pelvic floor movement to pee. With 4 weeks until you’re due, it’s going to be a lot

Personally, id wait. It sucks but for real- they can take wayyyy longer if you force them and stress it’s super delicate and regressions will happen. By the time your baby is here you’re going to still have accidents or a regression almost directly after you thinking they are trained. You can try but if in 2 weeks you’re not seeing any improvement, I’d go back to diapers and try again a few months after the baby is here

It’s not worth it the effort right now. I’m seeing a lot of my friends group not get potty trained closer to 2 and half, 3. With the new baby, your kid is going to have a regression and any progress you did make will go away.
