Today we're chatting all things potty training with @smilingwithmyawesome4kids, who is a mombassador and admin of the very popular potty training group in the app. Share your potty training stories, ask questions and share tips on this post. @smilingwithmyawesome4kids will also answer any questions! Here's her bio and general tips:
Hello I am Ceiamaria I am a stay at home Mother to 4 children ages 12,8,7 and 11 months old. I am happily married for 12 years and we are still going strong. I am determined and driven for success FAILURE isn't an option for me. I potty trained my oldest at 9 months old. My 2 middle son's were more difficult they were between 18 months and 2 years old. My baby boy was showing interest in potty training, I decided to buy him a potty chair.
Potty training tips
1.) Don't rush your child
2.)Don't yell at your child
3.) Don't punish your child for having accidents
4.) Don't give you child candy
5.) Don't compare other children to your child
6.) Do praise your child
7.) Clap your hands when your child goes to the potty.
8.)Take your child every 15-30 minutes to the potty
9.)Don't criticize your child
10.) I don't recommend pull ups but I don't bash mothers who decided to use them.
11.) Remember potty training is not taught in one day you have to be determined to potty train your child.

It is best to avoid pull ups when potty training, with my first me and my ex husband put her in big girl underwear after finding out she was treating pull ups like a diaper

My little guys turned 4 and just decided one day I'm going to pee pee in the potty. He wears undies all day and night. The only trouble is he poops in his pants and won't in the potty.

You don't want to potty train too early. Forcing too early will make it 10 x worse to do.

My almost 5 year old still bed wets. Her DR said it isn't a concern until closer to age 8 and it's not something you can train its all about the maturity of their bladder

My 2.5 year old does treat her pull ups like diapers. She knows how to pull them up and down. But that's where it stops. We've tried Sitting her in her own potty but she was t a fun. So we moved her to our adult one and she likes to sit in it but doesn't do anything. She also loves to flush. How do u make it so she goes in the toilet. When she has to poo she runs behind the couch so I know it's coming. But she she is going pee, I have no idea.

What is a good way to introduce the potty and start training? My baby thinks the potty is something to bang on
Danika Miller·

@daradee01, I would suggest putting it in the bathroom and having him sit on it whenever you go to the bathroom

My two year old hates being in her wet diaper and tells me every time after she goes but still hasn't gone on the potty. Any tips are welcome

Let her be naked

I can attest to #4 we did that and man I regret that little reward system...we're doing better but it more of a challenge with our 2nd child

@manismommy1207 how often do you take your child to the potty?
Mary Love·
Мама двоих (младенец)
@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, I'm trying to take her every 15-30 minutes. I just stop that and let her tell me when she has to go to the bathroom. She will tell me that she has to go but then sometimes she doesn't go.
Deleted·
@p0790 the best time is when they are able to sit unassisted and give them a book or a toy to play with. My son loves Mickey Mouse so I put Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on for him.
Deleted·
@kdcmommy26 you let the day care know your potty training and you provide pull ups and extra clothes
Deleted·
@monica.apodaca0513 she showed interest so I started working her.
Deleted·
@tashamagolan Yes it is best to avoid pull ups since they are like diapers. I didn't use pull ups with my 4 children. I wanted them out of diapers not in.
Natasha Magolan ·
Мама двоих (младенец)
I didn't know that when I had my first

@c.shanice you can try now there is a mother in my potty training group who is currently potty training her son he is 7 months. Just be understanding there will be accidents. Don't yell or whoop your child.
Deleted·
@lizfelico did you praise him when he went pee in the potty. Children love praises
Deleted·
@daraaaaalyn5 teach them both at the same time . I know with twins they have that what one does then I will try attitude. At least that how my twin nephews are.
Deleted·
My son is going to be three in june. He has been very off and on. He knows when he has to go he just chooses not to. Judge if you may but i fo not use pull ups. We will frequently use undies but he feel he can go in the undies so i allow him to go pantsless for the first few times then turn to the undies
Deleted·
Sounds like time for potty training @koreyamanda86 my son was the same way. Once he showed interest I started working with him.
Deleted·
Exactly @lizfelico that's why I waited until my children showed interest. I Never forced potty training on them. Good advice 😎
Deleted·
What have you tried @proudmommy_0320

@thebossmom since they are different ages I would recommend potty training them different. If they like a favorite show let them watch .

@alexsisjenkins I also co sleep and I would recommend a waterproof pad in case she has a accident.

@lizfelico pull ups can confuse the child thinking it's a diaper.
Deleted·
@lexirosex3 at soon as your child is able to sit up unassisted is good to try.

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, she does since 7 months.

@ashleydunn try to cut her liquids off a few hours before bed. My 7 year old has accidents too it's because of his medicine. So we cut the liquids off a few hours before bed and he is dry in the morning.
Deleted·
@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, I have my child is a heavy sleeper and sleep walker.
Deleted·
I Never give candy or anything like that. I did a sticker chart once they went all week dry. They can choose something to do. I did big rewards once they went all month without having accidents.

I know this sounds weird but I have been teaching my son to go potty sitting down cause that's the only way he would he is 2 and he has been doing great so far and he has no accidents but now I'm trying to teach him how to stand up while doing it and I got the froggy urien thing. Any tips? Or should I not be worried about it?

@daradee01 keep trying he will at first think its a drum but keep working with him.

I took my son's potty chair in his room downstairs in the bathroom. @daradee01 you want your child to feel comfortable.

@dannie992 my son would walk in on me and he would also pull his diaper off.

@hotmessmom consistently is the key to potty training.

I have a 2yr. old and just had a new baby with the lack of sleep and my husbands work schedule I don't no how to fit in potty 🚽 training although he's very interested in the bathroom and buying Costco boxes of diapers and wipes for my 5 month old and him is getting expensive 💸💸.So I guess my question is what or how should I do it?
Kelli·
@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, she quickly figured out the reward system and kept going to the potty. Which was great except when woke up in middle of the night screaming for chocolate. All out tantrum for chocolate😳oops.

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, wise choice! It's not like me to have candy around- we only did bc of Easter. I've tossed the rest and she's doing pretty good. I have to laugh at myself a little...I obviously wasn't thinking real clear 🤷♀️

@mothersjobneverdone realize potty training is exhausting but put him on the potty for 15 minutes and see how he does

Also I know all kids are different my question is how to know if you're being too pushy or just the right amount if that makes sense I just don't want to make it more dramatic for her and end up delaying things @smilingwithmyawesome4kids,

Многодетная мама (5 детей)
I tried the no underwear to underwear thing, the taking them to the potty every 15 minutes besides at bedtime it's before bed and first thing in the morning. And tried potty seats and little pottys
I have four in diapers my youngest is 11 months old so it would be nice if my boys got potty training down before she starts trying. Plus my oldest has one year before kindergarten and it's a must to be fully potty trained
Danielle·
Мама дочки (1 год)
@smilingwithmyawesome4kids my daughter won't let me go to the bathroom without her and she always looks in the toilet but if I put her on it she immediately wants off. She pulls her diaper off as well. According to my boyfriend she took her diaper off yesterday and squatted on the floor but didn't potty at all
Katerina Brown·
Мама дочки (1 год)
My baby girl is showing serious interest in the potty chair and had gone pee 7 times and pooped once. She loved the praise. Some family are giving me a hard time that we have started "early" and it will cause her issues. I wasn't anywhere near thinking about potty training but we got a potty chair from my mil that they has for their other granddaughter who is 4 now. I decided to clean it up and stick it in the spare room until ready well once I cleaned it she wanted to sit on it. So she sat and sat and got up came back we did this for about an hour than she peed in it and I praised her a LOT and she wants to sit all the time she dose get disappointed when she doesn't get praise for just sitting hahah. I did a little praise when she peed next to her potty because close enough and the thought counts right? Anywho I like that Im not the only one starting "young".
Katerina Brown·
Мама дочки (1 год)
She likes the big potty more plus she can't get off and walk away. She asks please if she wants off I take her off and let her walk around a bit that try again if nothing I'll put a diaper back on and try again in 30min.

Sidika·
Мама двоих (младенец)
My son points and tries to take off his diaper when he has to pee but refuses to sit long enough on the potty. He is also too small for training pants or even regular toddler underwear. He is almost 2 and isn't even in size 4 diapers. He also is not verbally communicating. Is he still too young? He seems ready to potty train to me. He just gets easily distracted. He likes baths and gets distracted by the tub when he tries to potty. Would moving his potty to another room be more helpful? He also take a his toilet apart. What can I do to stop that?

My daughter Isabella just turned Two a week ago. Any tips or ideas on how soon I should start potty 🚽 training. She shows some interest, but don't want to push it. She does yell me or her dad that she has dirty diaper. Is that a sign that she may be ready? @smilingwithmyawesome4kids,

Hi good morning all,
I am a mom of two beautiful girl 5 and 2. My oldest daughter was each to potty train but my youngest has the concept of going to the bathroom she just doesn't and comes to me or her father and says mommy or daddy poop or pee which ever she did. But won't go to the bathroom and use the toilet. WHAT CAN I DO?
