We did the same with low key EC at an early age and a flight around 16 months. I can't remember what we did! I think we just put her in a diaper since the flight was 10+ hours. But we followed the regular potty routine so we were not dependent on the diaper. It was just back up. LO had been going to the potty for some time before that though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-a-newly-potty-trained-15-month-old#post-2740075 Thu, 25 May 2017 12:30:43 +0000 looch 2740075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@red_seattle: Best I could find were these, the brand we used was One Step Ahead, ordered direct from their site, but who knows who owns them now. You're basically looking for a training pant that has PUL sandwiched between 2 layers of fabric.</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Little-Potty-Training-Pants-3-Pack/dp/B06XY947KG/ref=sr_1_20_s_it?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1495733374&#038;sr=1-20&#038;keywords=one%2Bstep%2Bahead&#038;th=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Little-Potty-Training-Pants-3-Pack/dp/B06XY947KG/ref=sr_1_20_s_it?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1495733374&#038;sr=1-20&#038;keywords=one%2Bstep%2Bahead&#038;th=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-a-newly-potty-trained-15-month-old#post-2740068 Thu, 25 May 2017 12:22:59 +0000 catgirl 2740068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can also put underwear on under the pull up. That way she will still feel the wetness if she has an accident but it will be contained. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-a-newly-potty-trained-15-month-old#post-2740064 Thu, 25 May 2017 12:19:22 +0000 red_seattle 2740064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: we don't have those and I haven't seen them?

We used them as first underwear and they were great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-a-newly-potty-trained-15-month-old#post-2740054 Thu, 25 May 2017 12:09:23 +0000 Somebunny 2740054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD also potty trained at 15 months. We kept her in pull ups when we went out until *we* were comfortable that she wouldn't have any accidents while we were out. She never did. Keep your potty routine similar and take her potty often. Don't sweat it if you feel like you need to put her in a pull up for your own peace of mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-a-newly-potty-trained-15-month-old#post-2740049 Thu, 25 May 2017 11:57:29 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2740049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: +1 but my dd potty trained at 2.5! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-a-newly-potty-trained-15-month-old#post-2740048 Thu, 25 May 2017 11:52:27 +0000 autumnlove 2740048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we used pull-ups as a backup during the newly potty trained stage for long car trips. No big deal and only for a short time until we got to our destination. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-a-newly-potty-trained-15-month-old#post-2740040 Thu, 25 May 2017 11:38:18 +0000 red_seattle 2740040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been doing part time, super low key elimination communication, and my 15 month old has decided it's time to ditch diapers. (I know! Don't hate me. We followed the same process with my son and he wasn't at this point until 20 months!) She's gone 4 days w/o any accidents at home. In fact, she hasn't had any since we started going full time diaper free on Monday. We haven't ventured out yet, but she is doing great! The problem: we're flying in 2 weeks for a 4 day trip. (If I had my way, we would've done this after, but this has entirely been her call.) Any advice for traveling with a 15 month old newly potty trained kiddo? Anyone else crazy enough to have done this before? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-do-elimination-communication-with-their-lo#post-2401469 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 09:06:02 +0000 BandDmommy 2401469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did anyone do elimination communication with their LO? We did not, we did normal potty training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-758385 Thu, 02 May 2013 20:09:26 +0000 immabeetoo 758385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to try EC but LO almost always goes while eating... so I'm not sure how that would work since I EBF!</p> <p>I was so shocked when I went to China and all the babies have split pants and just go wherever.

He's been on a major potty pause lately, but used to only go on the potty and always have dry diapers. It has been a great experience! We are just stepping back and waiting for his cues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757627 Thu, 02 May 2013 16:31:10 +0000 Honeybee 757627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: Personally, we practiced EC with both of our kids and the only times we've not used the toilet/potty are in the rare occasion we're out somewhere a toilet is not available (e.g. camping, hiking, driving rural stretches of road, etc...). I'm sure some parents do allow their kids to go anywhere, but I think it's the exception for EC parents, not the rule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757616 Thu, 02 May 2013 16:25:48 +0000 HabesBabe 757616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: ditto-- although i don't know of any people IRL who have done it, but i know it's not for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757612 Thu, 02 May 2013 16:24:02 +0000 .twist. 757612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: I would tend to agree. It's illegal to go outside as an adult, so... </p> <p>I don't care if people do it, I just know it's definitely not for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757594 Thu, 02 May 2013 16:16:28 +0000 HabesBabe 757594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no problem with it if it's done in the privacy of your own home, or at the homes of those who are OK with it. But having your kid piss/crap on the street, sitting on a potty in a restaurant, holding them as they go on the grass at a park-- I'm sorry, but that's crossing the line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757221 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:32:47 +0000 lovehoneybee 757221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think there's anything lunatic about it, but I'm not sure it's for us (especially the part about letting them go outside). I'm going to start using th concept, ethough, sort of--E has taken to pooping in the tub (5x in the past two weeks). He never really given any "I'm going" signs, but I've noticed in the tub he'll sit very still and look down, grunt a little bit, and crawl away, and then there's poop. I never manage to catch him in time to pull him out, but I'm hoping I can start to get him over the toilet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757217 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:32:07 +0000 runsyellowlites 757217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: Totally agree! I mean a bowl?! I could see that in a place where they didn't have toilets but WHY wouldn't you just take the kid to the bathroom? *awkward* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757216 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:31:57 +0000 Bookish 757216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well... it's not something I would do, but then again, I highly doubt my day care would be pleased with this idea ;) It just seems like one of those things that only some parents even have the option of doing, so I have no business judging. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757209 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:29:45 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 757209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycrz: @Honeybee: I would love it if one of you considered writing a guest blog about this for HB - I honestly know so little about it and am so curious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757193 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:26:37 +0000 Foodnerd81 757193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's definitely not for me.

We're just going to diaperless.</p> <p>However, if a friend brought a bowl to my house and then let her baby go in it in a corner instead of just going to the bathroom.... I cant say that friend would be coming to my house for any more parties. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757087 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:00:25 +0000 runsyellowlites 757087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really considered this but just haven't really gotten on board. P had terrible tummy issues until after 6 months so I honestly don't think I could've kept up! Hopefully with our next I can start this right away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757058 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:54:00 +0000 Honeybee 757058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, a lot of people think we're crazy too! Or they think we're super crunchy hippies (I mean, we're pretty moderately crunchy suburbanites, so...). :) It works for our family, though, and personally, I love EC.

She'll even ask to pee in the potty when we are out of the house now. We're going to do one final push in a few months before baby #2 arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-begin-potty-traininglearning-with-you-lo#post-273047 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 08:07:28 +0000 purrpletulips 273047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is just shy of 29m and we've sort of started. When DD asks to sit on the potty we will put here there but have yet to have any successes at home. Yesterday she started in a new room at daycare where they will work on PT more and she actually had 2 successes so we are hopeful that it will come when she is ready. I'm due in about 2 1/2 weeks so we aren't pushing her too much at the moment; we'll probably focus more when she is closer to 3 if she hasn't gotten it figured out by then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-begin-potty-traininglearning-with-you-lo#post-273034 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 07:50:40 +0000 mamimami 273034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've practiced sitting on the potty around 15 or 16 months, no pressure. Weirdly, he would poop but not usually pee. Sometimes he doesn't want to sit there at all.</p> <p>But my maternity leave starts in two weeks so I am thinking about going whole hog then. My toddler is now 20 months old. I figure it's worth a try although when the new baby comes in October it's possible we'll have some regression. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-begin-potty-traininglearning-with-you-lo#post-272946 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 00:25:45 +0000 brownie 272946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have been sitting on the potty since about 9 months old. At 15 months old we really started on training more vigorously. He potties at least once a day if not twice. Daycare lets him sit on the potty and he runs around naked most of the day. But he hasn't had success there. He is really interested in the training pants and underwear and likes to try putting on his clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-begin-potty-traininglearning-with-you-lo#post-272871 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 21:44:43 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 272871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: oh my how awesome!!! i can't wait for that day. </p> <p>It's still a work in progress for us. We started when my son was shy of his 2nd birthday. so 23 months. 2 months later and he's still not fully potty trained. </p>
