Another Potty Training Issue

Yeah if your using Pull-ups ditch them. My daughter still considered them to be diapers and when she was lazy or too busy would still pee in them. We told her she could have a no more diapers party and everyone would bring new panites of her favorite characters and a she wanted a scooter so I told her that would be her big prize if she didnt pee in her panties. (She did pee on herself once and thought that was pretty yucky and I made a big deal about how she needs to be dry). This worked for me she hasnt even peeded the bed either. We also went and gave a friend of ours her old diapers that we had left so she knows they arent here. She was excited to share too! Hope this helps some.

Hey Ms V.
Hang in there it takes boys just a while longer. However, I got a small chance of hope that will make your precious lil man jump to the opportunity. Put a few cheerios in the tiolet and make a game of hitting the circles. Have fun!

I've found that 34 months was the magic number with both of my kids. Until they are interested - nothing you can do will work. My ped. even says not to worry about underwear until they can go all week with no accidents. Once you potty-train him you have to go to every nasty public bathroom in town!!!

One thing that did work is to switch to super-cheap pullups during the day - the good ones are too absorbant. (don't use cheapies at night unless you like changing sheets...) Also - figure out what he loves (trains, hot wheels, etc) and work towards rewards with a sticker chart. Good luck and try not to stress out - chances are that the baby could make him regress anyway, buying pull-ups and diapers at the same time is NOT the end of the world!!!

My boys are 24 months apart and i had wanted my oldest to be potty trained by the time the next one came and it was a disaster. I tried so hard i tried to give him treats to go potty and nothing worked. There was some light it just took alot longer then i wanted it to. Once the baby came i had my hands full and just stoped the potty training thing. Once he was 3 1/2 he just decided one day he wanted to be a big boy and use the potty and within 7 days he was fully potty trained. It was the most rewarding thing to hear him say i want to go potty and no more diapers. I feel it was such a stress leave on me to wait till he was ready, but a pain cause i was getting 2 sets of diapers for 1 1/2 years longer then i wanted to.
Well i hope it all works out for you, and try not to push when he is ready he will surly let you know and it will be so easy.

Hi, I had the exact same problem. My middle child was 3 yrs. and 2 months old when my youngest was born. I dreaded having two kids in diapers, so we tried really hard to become potty trained, but he just was quite getting there. The thing that pushed him over the edge was going to daycare and seeing other children his age going to the potty. It was pretty easy after that. Hope that helps!

I started potty training my daughter when I was pregnant with my second also. It went pretty well after I stopped using pull ups altogether. She still has accidents from time to time because she gets so busy with what she is doing and doesn't want to stop and take the time to go the bathroom. When I see her scrooching around because she has to go pee I just announce that I have to go use the potty and she takes off running to beat me to the potty. Reverse psychology is great! It seems like it has to be her idea to go pee or she wants no part of it. Good Luck!

Please don't push the issue, He will do it when he is ready. Trust me I have 6 children...
