How often should you take a child to the potty when potty training to get them to stop peeing in the diaper? She doesn't poop in her diaper and will yell and scream if I don't let her poop on a potty... now how do we get her to do this with pee?
MIL fridge😒 Soooo after living with my in-laws for almost 7months now I decided to clean out their nasty fridge and their almost broken stove. Since we'll be moving back to Texas in a few weeks. My FIL & BIL both love the work I put in that I didn't have to do. But My MIL is mad I threw out her spoiled and outdated food. Smh. My husband was happy too. I don't understand why she is pissed off about it 🤦🏾 ♀ maybe she wants to live with rot, mold & dirt. Smh.
I really don't understand the judgment between being a working mom or a stay at home mom. If you need to work, work. If not, don't. No need to degrade other women for doing the opposite of you. 🤷🏻 ♀ 🤷🏻 ♀
Elimination communication/potty training. My little girl is 6 months old. I'd like to get her to associate potty with going potty! She cues that she is pooping DURING. Peeing, I haven't noticed any cues. Past 3 weeks, she has been peeing during diaper change on the table. I tried seeing if she pees when I take off the dirty diaper and have her over the toilet. Nothing. Until I bring her to the changing table. Is she just wanting to pee while laying down or is it the changing table association? Would it help to put a mini potty on the changing table or to move the table to the bathroom?? Obviously, keep trying is the key. But not sure how to move forward. She isn't sitting on her own yet. I have read that sometimes the baby starts to prefer peeing while sitting once they learn to sit on their own. But I still want to take steps before that. #pottytraining #potty #eliminationcommunication #6months #6monthsold

@brianne, you could consult her doctor and bring up family history.
But bed wetting most kids do that until age 8. My 5 year old just recently stopped bed wetting

@ashleydunn, I'm honestly starting to wonder if she's got an issue like me and my little sister did. I wet the bed till I was 10 and my little sister had to have surgery to be able to "control" herself when going potty.

@ashleydunn, no. We give her all kinds of treats for going. But I didn't think a sticker chart would make a difference.

@brianne, have you tried a sticker reward chart ?

@ashleydunn, I've stuck with it for weeks at a time and it didn't work. I stuck with it for just over a month and I was tired of everything smelling like pee.

@brianne, this is what worked for us. Using big girl underwear a, yes lots of messes especially those first few days. And if I asked she'd always tell me no. So instead I would say something like "I notice you haven't went to the potty in awhile, mommy needs to potty. How about you go potty too ?"
I also took her every 40 ish minutes. Eventually she started going on her own. You have to be persistent. Putting her back in diapers will cause regression

@tayler, we have both! An Elmo seat for the toilet that I offer for her to sit on every time she goes into the bathroom with me. I ask her if she wants to take her turn going potty like mommy did. Never wants to. And she has a little princess potty that makes little music noises when she does pee or poop in it. She gets excited the VERY few times she gets the music going on her own. But it's just not enough motivation. ): I'm at my wits end.

@tayler, doesn't work. In fact she won't tell me when she pees herself in her underwear. First day we ever tried the underwear she was sitting on the couch and I checked her every 15 minutes asking if she had to pee, and she always said no. When I want to check her, she was soaked.

@mommysbabies, we have. But we ran out of clean towels cleaning up after her. ): so it doesn't last longer than 10 hours or so. I ask every few minutes. "Gotta go potty?" "Wanna sit on the potty?" Always no. And I even force her to sit on the potty. But when I do that she gets hysterical and crying and will cry for 30 minutes straight until I finally let her up and I swear within 60 seconds she pees on the couch or the floor. She actually was standing in our room and just spread her legs and peed like a dog or something. I was so livid cause I was already stressed from something else so I cleaned her up, put her in a diaper and had to put her down for a nap so I could cool off.

When my daughter was 2 in a half I just put panties on her. She has a couple accidents but she hated when she peed in her undies it made her cry every time so she started using the potty everyday like 3 days after switching to panties!

My oldest did the same thing when she was that age too. She didn't show any interest in potty training so we would do the on again off again thing. She started using it permanently once we stuck to it. So my advice is don't give her a break. Keep at it. And after a month or two she will be potty trained. That worked for me for my oldest. And I potty trained her sister at the same time who was a year younger
