When do you start potty training your toddler?
Mine has turned 3 this pasted August and we've been potty training for the past 8 months 🙄 with little to no progress. It was all my toddlers idea so I went with it. My husband didn't want me to stop but he hasn't helped with the process because he's been working out of state for the past 6 months. So, for our sanity sake, I stopped potty training him and will try again in a month or 2.
What are some of yall techniques in potty training? Did I start him too early?
I potty trained my oldest son and daughter the same week they each turned 2. It onlybtook a few days. Once I started I was fully committed and had no diapers at all in the house so there was no going back. We didnt leave the house for a few days and it helped more than anything to keep them completely bottomless during those days unless they were sleeping.
My son is almost 3.5 and just started peeing in the potty 2 weeks ago. He is having poop issues now. He’s scared to poop in the potty so he holds it for days and then poops in his pants.
Yes. I'm noticing all my friends who have 3 yr old girls, they're potty trained after 2weeks of potty training them. My siblings who had boys they were either potty trained by 20 months or before they turned 3. I feel like something is wrong with how I'm trying to potty train him. It's exhausting and a bit frustrating
Every kid is different. My oldest boy we started shortly after second birthday and took to it super fast! Which is not normal. My second boy, he could be bribed at 2.5 but no interest. I was pregnant when he turned 3 so I just got him ready and kept telling him diapers don’t fit 3yr olds. Woke up on his birthday, took the diaper off and has been in underwear ever since! My daughter was a lot like my oldest!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
@blueismycolor pooping is such a hard thing for these kids! I hope it gets easier for ur son! I'm glad he's using the potty tho!
@luna that's awesome! I've never tried complete bottomless bottoms. Maybe that's what I need to try. But for now I need to recover from the exhaustion
