Does she go everytime? No, but this week she went into the bathroom 3 times, twice in one day and pointed to her potty and so we took her diaper off and she went potty in her potty. It is amazing what kids can learn to do if you just have patience, and willing to teach them without getting frustrated. But she said she went into the bathroom and sat on her potty and then to her bedroom and was reaching up to her changing table.
So she checked her diaper and she had gone pee. If MIL had realized thats what she was trying to do I am confident she would have pottied in the potty. After she goes we get a dry diaper and redress her on her changing table. Kids are quite amazing in their ability to learn and pick things up! So happy to see all the success you are having so far.
It seems like your little one knows exactly what is going on. Thanks for sharing this story, Robin. My son is also 15 months and I have the time to potty train him and have been at it for a week now after reading the Tiny Potty Training Book and Oh Crap!. I do worry withholding it could lead to a UTI also. Okay, sorry for the long rant, just a struggling mom trying to help my little guy pee! Thanks for any suggestions!
Next time if your little one is naked bottom and starts peeing, just stick a cup under to catch it. Usually a couple of times of this and then you can teach him to go in the potty. It might also be helpful if hubs is around and willing to show your little one what it looks like to pee in the potty. I will say that peeing standing up can sometimes resolve resistances that little ones are having around the potty.
I just started EC with my 16 month old last week. I do need support, as I noticed he pees frequently and quickly. I wonder if I should take him every 5 minutes after eating or drinking and in between? I either miss the ones after he awakes from naps or goes in his sleep. Also since we are beginning is it easier to leave him diaper free or put him in cotton trainers. He went in his trainers and grabbed himself after going. I took him, but he never went in potty, he went minutes after.
They are very subtle. I tried catching it by sitting him in toile but he refuse and instead I interrupted his flow. I since stopped to reset and not push him. He still grabs himself and comes to me after peeing so I tell him pee pee and he takes off diaper.
Keep at it, and take some time to observe how long after your little one eats and then wets himself. Once you. For instance, say today you observe that your little one goes pee 10 minutes after eating, then after each meal, take him 10 minutes. It would be ideal if you can airlift him to the potty so that it can start to solidify things for him. Thanks for the encouragement. Thanks for you again!!
I used it for a daughter at 16 months literally took a week , and a son at 17 months took closer to 3 weeks to be solid. But of course, that is up to you! I am really just hoping to find out the name of that book, thanks! So happy I did EC with my little! Not sure what book in the post you are referring to, but I have my books. Her primary motivation was to keep disposable diapers out of landfills by helping parents potty train their children earlier.
Her method can work for kids as young as 15 months old, and it's most effective for those younger than 28 months, Fellom says. Fellom says that after this age kids may be more resistant to potty training.
After a three-day potty training weekend at home, children will be able to reliably go to the potty to pee or poop and have few accidents, Fellom says.
Fellom's technique requires commitment, focus, and dedication. It's a "bare-bottomed" method, meaning that for three months after you initiate potty training, your child will need to be naked below the waist when she's up and about at home, and wear just loose-fitting pants with nothing underneath when she's out and about or at daycare.
It's okay to use diapers and training pants at nap time and bedtime, but if you rely on them more often, you'll undo your potty training progress, Fellom says. Watch for signs that your child is ready for potty training. According to Fellom, this includes:. Clear your schedule and plan to spend an entire long weekend focused on potty training.
That means canceling all your regular weekend activities, and making sure your potty training partner can be around all the time for at least the first two days to help out. Make up a "potty dance" with your potty training partner. The goal is to celebrate your child's successes and give her an incentive to continue, so the dance can be anything from a modified end-zone chicken dance to a full-on rumba with accompanying song — whatever feels right to you.
Start educating your child about using the potty. Two to five weeks before your potty training weekend, every time you, your partner, or another family member needs to use the bathroom, take your child along so she can observe the process, including:.
You can even have your partner go into the bathroom with you and your child and do the potty dance for you. Buy several potty chairs or arrange to borrow some. For poop she would squint her eyes and make a grunting sound. Speaking of timing, it was time to go.
She asked me about a possible playdate and I let her know that we no longer lived in the area, and that I was just there to attend the talk since I signed up for it before we moved two hours away. She told me that there were websites and books on the subject of EC and that I should Google it if I wanted to learn more. I thanked her, and was on my way. I did Google it later on and read about the basics.
It was so out of this world that I asked my mom if she had ever heard of EC. I started waiting for you go before I would take my bath. After that I would just put you on twenty minutes or so after you ate and drank, and you would go. I thought the process sounded neat but looked cumbersome. I had started cloth diapers a week or two after we got home from the hospital. My reasons were economic and environmental. At two months old, my son was sleeping eleven hours at night and nursed exclusively, so when he woke up in the morning he nursed a lot.
I fed him three times before his first nap, and I changed a wet or poopy diaper three times before I put him down again. Also, somewhere around two months he stopped pooping in the middle of the night and instead he would wait to poop until I came to get him in the morning. But every single morning, when I went to get him from his first nap, he would be covered head to toe in pee. A month later, she grasped the concept of the potty much better.
She still had accidents but she told me about them or started to cry or looked surprised. Want to know more? Pretty much immediately after launching into potty-training, Amelia was dry during naps. Moreover she refused to put on a diaper before bedtime. I bought disposable bed covers, placed a second potty beside her bed and put a dimmed nightlight within reach.
The first night she was up every hour or two calling me to go potty. The second night was better, she woke me up once to successfully go potty but had peed her pants by morning. I do, however, always take her out of bed to pee if she wakes me. During her nap I put a special cover on her bed and at night she wears a diaper. We have cut down her milk intake right before bed though she is a very good eater, so her bottle is more of a routine than actual nutrition and she goes potty downstairs before having her bottle and upstairs right before bed.
Her diaper is wet in the mornings not soaking wet though but she does wake up for her morning peepee. Life after diapers is the easiest, so if your child is ready - no matter what age - just dive in! Mom Life. Tips 'n Tricks. Green Living. Products we like.
