Desperately need potty training tips

My daughter will be 3 in June. I'm a FTM who has tried every method and her struggle seems to be letting us know beforehand that she needs to go. She will only tell ys as it's happening which is a struggle bc IDK what to do anymore and we're at the point where she keeps getting diaper rashes (she has sensitive skin) and hates getting her diaper changed and bathed to help clean her privates. This also makes me nervous because I have heard how dr's treat toddlers with UTI's and I want to avoid that at all costs. Please send me all the tips. I'm seriously desperate and have no more tricks up my sleeve.

we were having this problem & we literally just put her in undies & have a potty around her at all times. She will eventually not want to be in the wet undies anymore. It's a process momma, don't get discouraged! You're doing your best

Sticker board for when they go, makes them feel accomplished. You can also try rewards a little treat or snack when she goes, also dedicating a full day or weekend with setting timers I’m not sure if you’ve tried any of these things but theses are the things that worked for me.

As a teacher we were told to advise parents to put underwear on under the nappy. Nappies nowadays are so good at wicking away the moisture they don't feel uncomfortable so the undies give that feeling (which they want to avoid) but the nappy stops any messes. Plenty of opportunities to use the toilet or potty, she may prefer using one or the other too so see if there's a preference.

😉 Hi. If a child is still in a diaper during the day/awake hours the child will be confused by this, they will continue to do their "business" as usual in it. So technically its not really progressing forward with toilet training as far as the toddler can feel, potty training hasn't technically started as far as your child knows. You'll need to make the commitment to do it 100%. Halfway wont produce the results you need. No more diapers in the house (kids know the diapers are available!) only use pull-ups for sleeping. You'll find so many valuable tips & helpful ideas in my potty training videos. They're free on my youtube channel! https://youtu.be/dl9tOmqESRw As a professional potty training consultant I recommend once you officially start potty training: the diapers are gone. Unavailable. (except for sleeping, naps, night time) I find it best to stop providing diapers during the day time awake hours, your little cutie should be in cotton underwear or bare bum during the day for best results.

My daughter became fully potty trained at 21 months. We would take her to the bathroom every 2ish hours. At wakeup, after eating, and go like clockwork. It wasn't until after she was in underwear for a few weeks/months that she began telling me she needed to go before she had to. Up until then I'd just tell her every 2 ish hours "time to go potty" and we'd March to the bathroom. I told daycare to do the same and it worked for us
