awww glad that it's going well! my son is three and a half and was trained a week before his 3rd birthday in october. it was definitely trial and error, but he just made up his mind and did it when he was good and ready! and actually, for us, i thought that him being in pre-school helped because most of his "peers" were trained. but once he was in underwear, that was it, i never went back. oh, and another tip, i don't know how good of a sleeper brady is, but for overnight, i'll wake my son up before i go to bed and take him to the bathroom to avoid an accident overnight. he's a real deep sleeper so there's no problems with him going back to sleep. good luck and keep us posted!! charlene
ReplyDeleteDont give up on the underwear!! Pull ups are just fancy diapers...they need to feel the accidents...it doesnt feel good to them thats what makes them stop going in them. Pull ups they get used to the slight wetness they allow them to feel. Night time is fine for a while but make sure you put him right in underwear when he gets up!! He'll get it...its sometimes harder for us parents because we don't feel like cleaning up the messes...especially if your pregnant and expecting shortly!! Hang in there! Reading a book while on the potty works too.

Chris,
ReplyDeleteDon't stress about potty training your son before your new baby is born. I had two in diapers at once and it was no big deal. You are right that it would be easier and a lot less stressful for you and your son if you waited until you are home with the new baby. Good Luck!
Chris,
ReplyDeleteI know what you’re going through and have been told that potty training is a lengthy process! I've been getting pressure from people telling me that my daughter (2 yrs old) should be trained because I was trained at that age. On the other hand I have day care telling me 2 ½ is a good age for girls. She's done the hard part (#2) on her potty twice but has decided that it's yucky and doesn't want to go on anymore. One day I tried a training pant and when she had an accident she wanted her diaper rather than a new training pant. She cried & fought with me so I gave in with the diaper.
I wouldn't worry about waiting until the baby comes because I've heard they revert back to diapers when a new baby arrives. With the new baby you might be able to focus on how it’s important to be the "big" brother and go on the potty. Good Luck! And remember everyone learns to go on the potty eventually!
sounds like the potty training is going well. I have 4 kids and my youngest turned 3 in April. He was the easiest to train, maybe because of his older siblings. It took about a week for him to completely get it---but I am home all day with him, so I could keep him in underwear all day long. He doesn't even need diapers at night--however, my 5 1/2 year old son is still in diapers at night. Each child is different. Definitely don't stress over it--you have enough to worry about with the new baby coming. If he isn't trained by the time the baby arrives, you will have time while you are on maternity leave. Good luck with it!
ReplyDeleteI personally think the easiest way to potty train little ones is to talk to them. I am not into reasoning with a toddler, but I was able to tell my 3 yr old, now 7, on Sunday nite I am not buying anymore diapers. Potty training tomorrow? (very matter of fact.) He shrugged and said ok. 2 days later no diapers not even at nite! wet the bed twice. I dont believe in pull ups. I also never did rewards, just praise (not over doing it), it worked for us! GL!
ReplyDeleteIf he isn't trained before the baby is born, you may want to wait awhile. I tried with my oldest after my second son was born and he was 22 months. The timing was wrong with a new baby. The doctor told me to stop and wait a couple of months. Yes, it is much easier for stay-at-home Moms to train. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteOnce you stick to the underwear you have to stick to it. Only go back to diapers/pullups for night time and naps. His preschool teachers should be more then happy to help you with the potty training at school as well. I use to be a toddler teacher and have potty trained MANY boys. They are hard but once they get the hang of it, it works. Make sure you take him to the bathroom every hour even if he doesnt have to go and make a HUGE deal when he does go. Good luck
