Let the potty training adventures begin! :/ please pray for my sanity and that dd picks it up fairly quickly. I was wanting to wait til she showed a little more interest and could talk more. But my pretty girl has such sensitive skin and eczema on her bum so we are constantly fighting a horrid week long diaper rash if she sits in a poop diaper for longer than 1-2 minutes (no lie) and awful eczema flare ups if I don't catch her the moment she pees. We've tried every kind of all natural, over the counter, And prescription creams. I feel awful for her because she in pain and she is to the point now that she is terrified to have a diaper change.

It sounds like it's going well for you.

We started today and have had several accidents, but I'm encouraged by the fact that your second day was much better.

I tried to start with undies like several have suggested, but we have a lot of carpet too, and when he had an accident this morning, it got all over the carpet. I have four of the Blueberry trainers, which are thicker and keep a puddle off the floor. I'm thinking I might go buy some Gerber ones too.

We have used sposies at night for about 6 months Now because I couldn't find a leak proof solution that worked on her sensitive skin. But yes, we still put a diaper on at night. I do a pull up for nap and I call them panties and let her pull them up and down like panties So she is still in the same routine. But she has woken up dry after nap the past 3 days.

Her overnight diaper is still super full when she wakes up.

It's going awesome. She has only had one more accident today.

The first couple of days I put her on the potty every 30 minutes, right after her nap, and anytime She grabbed at her crotch. Today I've been doing it every hour instead because she knows how to control it better. And she waits to go until I put her on the potty, sometimes she shows me that she needs to go though (she's doesn't talk much yet, so she shows me instead of telling me). I knew it was gonna be about 2 hours before we had access to a bathroom earlier so I put a pull up on her expecting it to be wet when we got home. But she was dry so I put her on the potty and she peed and pooped as soon as I put her on it (:
She has went poo on the potty 3 times today. Which is an improvement. The first two days she would go squat in the corner and poo in her panties and then come to me pointing at her butt. Lol

glad it's going well!! I feel like I should try to be more consistent with dd. This morning she told me she needed to potty and went on the big potty - I was surprised! Your post is def an encouragement for me to be more consistent!! (:

We've cloth diapered from birth. It doesn't help because it's not the diaper. Its the poop against her skin and the pee against her eczema. I will admit it is worse in disposables that aren't "natural" (such as seventh generation, honest, earths best, etc.) But we don't use sposies often.

She has done great though! She was showing no interest before we stared on Wednesday morning. We went straight into Gerber training panties. So they are like panties but have a little bit of absorbent layers in the wet zone. So when she had an accident usually none ever got on the floor. And when it did it was literally a puddle the size of a quarter-half dollar. Which is good.. because we have carpet. Lol

The first day she had 15 accidents and peed in the potty 8 times, 3 of which were when I put her on it and the othe 5 Times were after she'd already had a small accident in her panties.
Yesterday (the second day) She had 2 accidents, one was a poo accident and the other was because she was waiting on me to help her on the potty and she went in her panties a little.. and She went in the potty 8 times.
Today, so far, she has had one accident (we were at the doctors office and she was scared of their potty) and she has went pee AND poop in the potty.

I am so proud of her! (: she won't sit on her own potty though, she wants to sit on her potty seat on our big potty. But that'll make the transition to the full size potty easier when she is older (:

Good luck, my daughter is not quite ready we sit on the potty from time to time but that's about it. My child had lots of diaper rash problems and mostly when she pooped she would cry and shake in pain, so we switched to cloth diapers around her 1st birthday it has fixed our problem.

Good luck!!! I am thinking about potty training my son soon but I am so nervous about it. He is so active and lately diaper changes have been quite a wrestle match along with a lot of screaming. I am a nurse and only work 3 days a week so I am hoping that with being home often helps him with being consistent.

And I did NOT mean for that to sound like working moms aren't consistent! I just have a friend right now who is working, a nursing student, and trying to PT her 2 year old and its rough on her.

Sorry if it sounded rude! :/

Thanks ladies! I'm a SAHM so fortunately I can be really consistent with it and not have to try to get a babysitter or daycare provider to go along with my methods. Lol. I'm going to start with the Gerber trainers, simply so we don't have puddles since most of our house is carpet, and then after she starts catching on a little bit go straight to panties. I'm planning to be at home with her in panties non stop for the next week or so. Lol. Glad it's getting warmer so we can play outside! (:
