I’m following this for tips. Before my little one came, my son was so close to being out of pull ups. We started underwear but when the baby came, he regressed a lot. I make sure we have 1:1 time but it’s has been hard trying to potty train and breastfed. (My energy level is low at times.)

So mine is mostly potty trained. If we are out and about doing fun stuff, he won’t initiate potty time. But if I tell him we we are going potty he’ll come and use it. When starting we bought a little seat for our toilet, he wasn’t really interested in that, so we bought a little potty that we just kept in his play area, and he actually enjoyed using the little potty, he would go all by himself. We also rewarded him with a couple chocolate chips every time he was successful. So to recap, a little potty in a frequently used area and rewards for successful potty’s worked for us

How I did it, took at least 3-7 days of staying strictly home. Bought a potty. One in the bathroom and one in the common area where she could see it and run to it. Took off my daughter pants and had her run around butt naked first few days. (There will be accidents) had her drink fluids constantly. I Took her to potty every 30 minutes till bedtime. I set an alarm on my phone, this helped a lot. For days in a row. Still used Diapers for nap time and bedtime still. Once a few days passed and she ran to the potty herself or told me she has to use the potty. I put on potty training undies. (Fabric) not pull-ups or diaper like panties. They are the same as diapers. Same feeling. They will just go in them. I got two 6 packs off Amazon. Has extra layer to catch small accidents. Potty training is a lot of talking. Praising like crazy. And consistency. Don’t stop. My daughter is fully potty trained at 2-2.5. For day time only. I still have to figure out night time. (:

Since your child is almost 3 like mine. I feel like a star system or some type of reward system would help with potty training now. I did not use this method as I just went straight to potty boot camp. 😂 and she just turned 2 when I started, so I didn’t think she could understand the reward system well enough like she can now. Using a reward system could help. I planned to do that with my son as I haven’t started potty training him yet and am still going to wait a bit longer as he is a boy and I have no idea what to do with boys. He is almost 2.

This is the affirmation I needed 😭 We tried potty training twice but she just really didn’t want to… Letting her lead on this one I guess

I voted yes but he is only partially trained. He does well when we prompt him but isn't good about communicating when he needs to go. Good luck!
