Our daughter started potty training right before she was 2, and took to it pretty easily. I know boys tend to be more of a challenge, but we’re just not sure what to do at this point.
Our son started potty training around 2 y 2 months, and it started off going well. He was bottomless at home and mostly doing well. Unfortunately because he’s also in preschool/daycare, he was coming home with 1-3 soiled sets of clothes a day. As 2 months wore on, he kept having more and more accidents. If he’s wearing anything down there, he would just say “it’s a diaper enough” and wasn’t even telling us.
So, we’re in a reset. He’s back in diapers, and for the first few days he would still tell us when he needs to go, but now he’s stopped doing that. At this point I’m worried that this reset has caused him to care even less when we start back up (in about 2 weeks).
Any similar experiences? Ideas?
We didn’t do potty training. We simply placed it in a convenient place, showed our daughter what it is, read her a book where some animal toddlers learned how to use it and one day she simply approached it on her own and used as intended.
From there the rest was also a natural progress - at some point she simply said she preferred wearing panties instead of diapers, first at home, then outside.
Everything began when she was close to 2y 2m too and a big breakthrough was some two months later.
One observation: our little one soiled her panties today, during a play outside, because she was simply so absorbed with what was happening around, that she forgot about her needs.
