Potty training
Show your support
They do have a small regression when you move into pants you just have to stick with it keep repeating and showing them to pull their pants down, when they have an accident redirect them to the potty, think my little one had a day of a few accidents but by the end of the day was attempting to pull his pants down just needed a little help x
I just went in straight with pants started 17th December, 26th first day with no accidents and no accidents since and dry nappy most nights I feel like the no pants method thing is silly, they get the hang of it then you add another obstacle
@Hayley think you're right. She isn't getting the hang of pulling pants down yet, I know she will get there...
@Phoebe this is what we are trying. She hasn't got the hang of pulling pants down.
@Jenifer that's good. I'm glad that worked for you. 1st time mom, every day I'm learning as is she.
My son turns 3 in Feb and is pretty much fully toilet trained and dry overnight (I say pretty much because toddlers are unpredictable lil beings 😂) but this is what helped for him... 1. Get very loose pants/trousers so she can easily get used to the pulling up/down motion, then let her wear one layer first (I put my son in trousers, no underwear) before adding a second (underwear) layer. 2. Never ask if they need to go toilet but say that you need to go toilet ("like ooh I think I feel a wee coming") and invite them along with you, then offer them the chance to use the toilet first. Even if they don't go, they will model and mirror your example to listen to their body's signal and it makes the whole thing more casual. 3. When you ask if she wants to go toilet, if she says no and you're pretty sure she does, just state matter of factly with no shaming, no irritation but certainty that "you'll wet your pants if you don't go and it'll feel uncomfy". And when she soils herself she can connect the two mentally.
@Ashleigh thank you 🙏
This is interesting and noted for my next child - we went straight to pants. My 23mth old hated being wet so soon got it. We bought pants slightly too big so they could be pulled down easily - he can do it himself now but it’s taken 2mths
I'm having the same issue with my little boy. I think they see wearing pants as a security thing? I'm trying to keep him pantless when at home in the hope he'll eventually get it.
