Potty Trained When Naked

When you say trainers do you mean pull ups? If that's the case don't use them, use regular undies. Everyone of my kids went backwards if I tried to use pull-ups. But got it pretty quick if I used regular undies.

don't worry about it being cold, if it works being naked... let them be naked. Both of my two younger ones ran around naked all winter in the house last year. I would have a shirt, sweat shirt, long underware, sweats and covered in a blanket because I was cold ( our house is VERY cold in the winter) but they were just fine naked, IF they asked for clothes on.. .it didn't last long and they were naked again.

Try putting him on at timer , taking him to the potty every 20-30 mins.

More than that, go back to when you would record his diapers and find out when his "schedule" is. Otherwise you'll mis-time it all day long or just get lucky.

My DD won't keep her clothes ON so it doesn't matter if she's dressed or not. She'll strip off the panties and leave them somewhere and go on playing. I have a sink full of potty clothes from today.

I do put DD's potty in the hall so it's not hidden where she's less likely to use it.

potty training is not always immediate. every child handles it differently but i can tell you after 3 kids that i wish i had been as relaxed about potty training with the first two as i am with the 3rd. if you ever feel frustrated or angry over any aspect of the potty training, take a step backward. it's ok. there's no one best way to potty train every child. for example if doing tons of laundry is driving you crazy, then do night time pullups. you can still do underwear during the day. or no clothing if you really think that's a good idea. pullups don't mean that you stop teaching the child how to get to the bathroom frequently and quickly. keep the potty training as positive as possible, even if that means rewarding with stickers or little marshmallows. the reward doesn't go on forever, it just helps them get excited and stick with their goal. i find dialogue very helpful. talk with your kids about how to wake themselves up and go to the toilet in the middle of the night, how to pause playing to go to the bathroom, how we always go potty before leaving the house and before going to bed and first thing in the morning so that there is more room inside us for yummy breakfast. talk about how good it feels to be clean and dry. take him to the toilet frequently, like every half hour or hour (do what you can without driving yourself nuts) until he tells you he can do it himself. good luck!

I believe it's a control thing and as a parent, you must lovingly show your son who is really in control. The ONLY way I was able to potty train my three children was by removing their pants and letting them go naked from the waist down. You are in a cold region, I totally understand your concern for the temperature, however, I"m sure you keep your home relatively warm so it shouldn't be too cold for your son. Once I had my first daughter potty trained and I decided to allow her to wear underwear during the day, she peed in them. So, I went back to getting her naked and she didn't have issues. Also to note that children get lazy when they have pants on. It is easier for them to pee in their pants while playing than to stop playing for 3 minutes to use the toilet. IF you decide to put underpants on him, I would take him to the toilet ever hour because it's unlikely he will tell you beforehand that he has to go. I never used a special potty chair. I potty trained them right on the toilet because I feel that a child needs to know that the bathroom is in a designated place because what happens when you no longer want him to pee or poop in a potty chair? Then you have to train him to use the toilet. I see that as more work for you, having to clean it out, and then do new training later on. Whatever you do, do NOT go back to diapers because that sends the wrong message to a child. Good luck, potty training is a challenging experience, but oh so rewarding when you don't have to clean dirty diapers anymore.

You are not alone! From 18 months on my son would ALWAYS use the potty-- as long as he was naked. Teaching him NOT to go in his pants was a WHOLE other story -- he used to just give me this LOOK-- like, "but Mom, I've been going in my pants since I was BORN!"

I beat my head against that wall off and on for 2 years-- I tried everything, and finally when he was 3 1/2 he got it... In the meantime he spent a LOT of time naked--even at 18 months he'd bring me his clothes when he wanted dressed/was cold, they know when they're uncomfortable and will let you know and I rather look at a naked baby than change diapers!

Yes I would bring the potty in the play area. I dont think there isnt any kind of control or regression going on. I think he's not using it because he dont want to. I had this same problem with my daughter. If the naked thing was working, go back to that and then ease into the trainers again

Good Luck!
