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.

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.

(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/not-asking-to-go-to-the-potty#post-876593 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 14:30:50 +0000 brownie 876593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: we have skittles if he poops in the potty or asks. But it doesn't seem to help. He doesn't seem to be motivated by them (and he doesn't ever get them any other way). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-asking-to-go-to-the-potty#post-876551 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 13:57:43 +0000 deerylou 876551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely second what @sloaneandpuffy suggested - he needs to be rewarded for initiating. I also agree that you and your husband modeling the desired behavior (announcing, "I need to go potty" before retreating to the restroom) would be a great companion to a motivational system. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-asking-to-go-to-the-potty#post-876540 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 13:48:29 +0000 mamimami 876540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you offering any incentives?

I would do what @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: suggested then.. and see if that works?<br /> Does he ever give you nonverbal cues? Sometimes my daughter will be playing and grab her crotch :P<br /> So I make her go to the potty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-asking-to-go-to-the-potty#post-876227 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 09:39:57 +0000 brownie 876227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: that is one of our plans when we get back from vacation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-asking-to-go-to-the-potty#post-876226 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 09:39:06 +0000 brownie 876226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: he's need doing all of this for over 6 months now. He is slow to talk so he doesn't verbalize much. He has no accidents if we take him. He can take his clothes off, get on the potty and finish up and get off. So the only thing missing is the words and asking. So I don't think it isn't ready to potty train. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-asking-to-go-to-the-potty#post-876222 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 09:34:59 +0000 chopsuey 876222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like he's not ready? How long have you been taking him every hour?<br /> When we decided to train DD was really vocal about when she had dirty diapers. Often she would say she went, but when we checked there was nothing. A minute or two later, hello turd!!<br /> We kept dd bottomless and showed her that she had to pee and poop in the potty. It took 24 hours for her to learn and start going on her own. We started potty training 2 weeks before she turned 2.<br /> At home we kept her bottomless and she would run to potty when she had to pee or poop. We just wiped her.<br /> After about 2 weeks we put underwear and pants on her at home. She would run to the potty and we'd have to help her take her pants off. About 2 weeks after that she started saying she had to go before heading to the potty.<br /> Now she can pull her pants down and up, sit on the toilet (we started on a potty) and go. She wipes pees on her own, but needs help wiping her booty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-asking-to-go-to-the-potty#post-876201 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 09:15:28 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 876201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does modeling behavior work for children that young? Let's say you and your husband announce when you have to go potty. Then you can ask each other and ask him. He may say no or yes, but getting him to vocalize his needs may help him make a connection with the sensation and action. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-asking-to-go-to-the-potty#post-876162 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 08:52:30 +0000 brownie 876162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: he did it twice yesterday just peed his pants and didn't tell us even afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-asking-to-go-to-the-potty#post-876124 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 08:16:57 +0000 Andrea 876124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: I would give it another try now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-asking-to-go-to-the-potty#post-873125 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 20:47:27 +0000 brownie 873125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we haven't taken him he pees his pants and does nothing about it.

Maybe he'll have more accidents, at first, but then he might start learning how to speak up about going to the potty? </p> <p>When we potty trained, we started off taking her to the potty, but we quickly realized that she liked having control of the situation so we stopped. Then she started heading to the potty by herself when she had to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-asking-to-go-to-the-potty#post-872597 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:48:43 +0000 brownie 872597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is a little more than 2 years old. He is fully potty trained as long as we take him to the potty. This means every hour we sit him on the potty and pees and tries to poop. He has less than two accidents a day. He is not nighttime or nap trained (though at home he never pees during nap only at preschool).</p> <p>We are ready for the next step. How do we get him to tell us he needs to go. Usually he tells us when he goes but never before. Any types or tricks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-learning#post-224155 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 15:58:23 +0000 banana 224155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started potty training him (he's 2 years old) and we keep it low pressure too. We'll ask him if he needs to potty and he'll say yes. But when we put him on the toilet, he says no! ARG. I don't know what he's trying to tell us! I don't force him though. He's pee'd a few times in the potty already so I figure he's just taking his time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-learning#post-223867 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 12:39:40 +0000 mamimami 223867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My babe (almost 19 mos) is not potty trained yet, but he knows what it's about. One thing I think has really helped is talking up the potty a lot. Or letting him come in when we go and telling him that we use the potty and we don't wear diapers, and when he uses the potty he can stop wearing diapers too. </p> <p>We keep it low pressure but let him sit on it whenever he's open to the idea and that's where he can read his potty book which he loves (potty, by leslie patricelli). He has started saying poo poo and letting us know when he needs to go. For some odd reason, he has pooped in the potty a bunch of times but only peed in there once or twice. I'm not complaining though!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-learning#post-223775 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 11:39:13 +0000 brownie 223775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is now 15 months old. He tugs at his diapers when he is wet. I would lik to start potty learning him. I want him to ask to go to the bathroom and go on the potty occasionally. I expect to keep him in diapers for a while longer still.</p> <p>I would like some tips and ideas on how to get him to be successful on the potty. For example, right now we put him on 2 -3 times a day (before and after daycare) but he has only gone twice in the last month. How can we encourage him to go?</p> <p>Is there something we can boot camp on the weekend (I understand it is early and am not looking for out of diapers in that weekend just more success)? </p> <p>How should I coordinate with daycare? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ec-with-a-boy#post-140968 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 23:13:32 +0000 red_seattle 140968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Baby Bjorn pee spray shield at front has worked for us so far. (We're just starting though, so there's that.) He's not much of a sitter (he'd much rather stand whenever he can) so in most of the ways I've been able to hold him and get him to calmly sit on the potty, he presses his penis down against the pee spray shield part anyway. He's a lot closer to crawling than sitting on his own, but I imagine once he starts sitting on his own, we'll hold the penis down. I can't imagine the way he presses his penis against the shield is comfortable, but then he doesn't seem to mind so I guess it's ok and we'll go with it. It's tough though. Boys and potty training... everything about it seems hard to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-x-peed-his-1st-time-on-the-potty-ec#post-140964 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 23:07:41 +0000 red_seattle 140964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tried it a couple more times today, at diaper change time and at bath time. I thought bath time would be a sure-thing since he usually starts peeing as soon as his bum gets in the water or during diaper changes. No pees though. And the point right now is just to get him used to the idea of sitting on the potty, so I guess it's still a success since he did sit on it once I got his attention with a book. Oh well... beginner's luck wasn't going to last. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-x-peed-his-1st-time-on-the-potty-ec#post-140951 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 22:53:24 +0000 Maysprout 140951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!
