I followed the “Oh crap potty training” method — it’s a book by Jamie Glowacki. It helped me out a lot with potty training my son. The first few days were tough, but he caught on quickly. What I really needed to learn was how to teach him about the potty... listening to his body, and where the pee and poo belong. The book helped me work through the obstacles.

To be honest - it’s more of a process than I ever expected, but it has been so worth it. My son is a much happier kid without diapers!!

Such good advice! Em isn’t ready to potty train yet. We ready potty books, let her sit on the potty and her Godmother bought her the Minnie undies too ( so cute). We talk about going potty and we’re waiting for her to be ready. Our Dr said not to push her and wait till she’s ready & I agree. I know you want her potty trained before the new baby, but I think she’s showing signs and will show more. Maybe pull ups might help too, like to transition, but I don’t know. I’d let her wear the undies too. Em likes Elmo and we got a potty book where she can press Putin’s and it makes sounds. Daniel tiger also has a potty video that I like on YouTube. Watching videos helps Em a lot.

Oooh yes that could be awful I hope she marches on and gets the hang of it. Good luck!

Thanks for the response, Chelsea! I’ve decided to just roll with it. I’m just hoping she can get there on her own by April. I’m due July 9th & don’t want her to be in the middle of it then or potty train right before & have a big regression...

Sounds like she isn’t 100% ready but is feeling out the idea. Just let her take the lead. Personally I’d just let go play around with the panties it can’t hurt anything but that’s just me ??‍♀️.

I tried the whole “no panties unless you’re a big girl and use the potty” and it back fired on me so I stopped enforcing it and stopped taking her to the potty every 30 mins. Eventually she started letting me know and we were fully potty trained in 3 days.
