As we are approaching potty training, this doesn't seem as gross. When DS was just a baby, I remember being at a farm in the height of apple picking season and seeing a person dump pee from a potty into bushes. I was disgusted, but now I get it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-at-beach#post-2588744 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 00:22:09 +0000 Teachermama 2588744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept a potty in my car. I also had gloves and wipes. If i knew it was poop, i would line a small trash bag in the potty, to make disposal easier and not stink up my car. We used it even after potty training. It was always easier to go in the car potty then rush to find a public toilet. I am a germ freak, I even keep a container of water and soap in my car to wash hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-at-beach#post-2588717 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 22:20:50 +0000 808love 2588717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would bring the portable potty. When LO was very young and barely walking, I had already trained her through EC method. Anyway, we were at the beach park and without anyone noticing, she got a hold of my cousin's beach pail and peed in it. It was hilarious to me but my cousin, who is a germophobe, was thoroughly grossed out. As was her son, as it was actually his pail. I was a little proud but I had to hide it since it was upsetting to them!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-at-beach#post-2588713 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 22:11:57 +0000 Mrsbells 2588713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsog: i think it might only be gross to non parents. Any parent who has been through potty training would have no issue with it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-at-beach#post-2588658 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 19:59:28 +0000 PinkElephant 2588658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for the Potette - it comes with bags that are totally non-gross. DD1 (4) recently used it on a car trip because she desperately had to poop in a parking lot, poor kiddo, because there were no other options for miles in standstill beach traffic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-at-beach#post-2588645 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 19:13:47 +0000 hilsy85 2588645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>portable potty--we have the potette. I don't get why it would be gross at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-at-beach#post-2588631 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 18:28:11 +0000 Charm54 2588631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I adore the My Carry Potty. It is leakproof and easy to transport. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-at-beach#post-2588626 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 18:19:57 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2588626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're a pee in the grass/sand family.<br /> I'd go back to the house for #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-at-beach#post-2588600 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 16:46:09 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2588600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with taking a little potty! We keep one in my car at all times and it's come in handy when we're in the middle of no where and she needs to go! I can't even count the number of times we've used it on the go, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-at-beach#post-2588570 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 15:43:43 +0000 bakingdoodle 2588570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we used the 'potette' successfully 4 times (3 times my niece...1 by my son) on the beach last week. It's cleaner for them (no gross trip to the bathroom while wet) and faster. we put the potty in between two chairs so nobody knew we had it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-at-beach#post-2588569 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 15:43:06 +0000 mrsog 2588569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: this is what I wanted to hear! I think its totally ok and it's what I'm leaning towards doing. I don't think the family we will be with will care and I guess I can even put it in the tent for privacy when he goes. I do think he will poop during the day in it though but I can just put a bag in it and throw it away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-at-beach#post-2588567 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 15:42:44 +0000 tlcbaby 2588567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would totally bring a potty! Also, we went to Disney very shortly after potty training and put him in pull ups just in case, but didn't make a big deal or tell him he could just go in his pull up and he still always told us when he needed to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-at-beach#post-2588564 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 15:39:58 +0000 avivoca 2588564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's gross, then I'm gross. I keep a portable potty in my car for when she needs to go. We use it at church (we meet outside in the summer and the only other option is a port-a-potty) and she has peed in many a parking lot, the busiest being the Home Depot lot.</p> <p>If it bothers people, I don't care. So I'm on team bring-your-own. I also have hand sanitizer on hand to clean it out and she's never pooped in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-at-beach#post-2588563 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 15:36:27 +0000 mrsog 2588563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started potty training my son the beginning of July and it has gone really great so far. He hasn't had any accidents since the initial 3 days and even went right into night training because he refused to wear pull-ups.<br /> So my question... We are going to the shore the second week of August and the beach we go to does not have a public bathroom. Technically we are walking distance to get back to the house but its a bit of a walk and across a main street. What would you do about bathroom trips during the day? Should we bring a portable potty for him to use or is that totally gross to do on the beach? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-be-the-last-size-of-diapers-your-lo-wears#post-1988683 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 14:22:42 +0000 NurseDMB 1988683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 16 months and in size 4 (has been for awhile)</p> <p>He pees in the potty every so often, mostly after his bath but we're not actually potty training right now. I think he will probably be in size 5 when we start potty training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-be-the-last-size-of-diapers-your-lo-wears#post-1987990 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 09:06:08 +0000 Mamasig 1987990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 for DS1 - he's been in them for a while and they still seem to fit well</p> <p>DS2 - who knows?!

She was 26 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-be-the-last-size-of-diapers-your-lo-wears#post-1987774 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 00:57:04 +0000 Sapphiresun 1987774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning to bump up to size 5 once my current box of diapers runs out. She's only 16 months, but very tall and getting poop up the back in her 4's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-be-the-last-size-of-diapers-your-lo-wears#post-1987773 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 00:55:04 +0000 littleveesmommy 1987773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's last size was a 4 and she sounds a lot like your LO in stature! She was 22lbs at her 2 year we'll visit and was officially potty trained by 2.5. When we went to no diapers a lot of her pants didn't fit as well and we had to tighten up the adjustable waist on her jeans. We still have the long leg thin waist issue! She is 3T in length but her waist is a 2T, which makes buying elastic waist pants for daycare a big challenge (needs to be elastic so they can go potty themselves). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-be-the-last-size-of-diapers-your-lo-wears#post-1987742 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 23:35:22 +0000 jedeve 1987742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: I err on big too!

I may switch to them because we haven't had an leak problems until he's fully trained. I'm thinking 5's will probably be his last size. He does great in undies. Just have to get him geared towards dry naps and bedtimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-be-the-last-size-of-diapers-your-lo-wears#post-1980510 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 13:18:20 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1980510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is also small. He has hovered between 21-23 lbs for about 6 months now, and is still in 3's. There's a chance we will move up to 4's before he potty trains, but it isn't looking like it. We don't use disposables often, and 3s seem to still have some room left to grow into. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-be-the-last-size-of-diapers-your-lo-wears#post-1980437 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 12:52:36 +0000 hilsy85 1980437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was mainly in 4s, but 5s for nighttime...still wearing 5s for naps and at night (and when he refuses to wear undies...). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-be-the-last-size-of-diapers-your-lo-wears#post-1980435 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 12:52:02 +0000 photojane 1980435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: she has seemed ready for a while, but I've been putting it off.

He was about 22-23 lbs when he trained at 23 months but we had him in size 4. We used cloth mostly but disposables at night and the size 3 was a little short so we went up to 4 to avoid leaks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-be-the-last-size-of-diapers-your-lo-wears#post-1980403 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 12:40:26 +0000 Mamaof2 1980403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was in 4's<br /> DS was in 5's </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-be-the-last-size-of-diapers-your-lo-wears#post-1980401 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 12:39:31 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1980401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She'll be in fives when we start PTing once #2 success and is in a routine.
