We went with cloth from the beginning but we still used disposables for vacations, naps, and when I realized that she would sleep longer at night if I put her in disposables. :)</p> <p>Honestly, I don't think it made a difference or helped with potty training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-amp-potty-training#post-2143769 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:24:56 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2143769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: ok. That actually knocks out another general question I had about cloth especially the pre-folds. At what age can you go from all disposables to all cloth in order to reap the benefits of early potty training? I guess before your LO truly notices the difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-amp-potty-training#post-2143766 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:23:14 +0000 sorrycharlie 2143766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are at 30 months now and cloth has not made a lick of difference in potty training. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-amp-potty-training#post-2143760 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:21:07 +0000 sarac 2143760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: we had long used disposables at night, so she was familiar with both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-amp-potty-training#post-2142985 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 07:21:42 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2142985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: how did your LO know there was an alternative to cloth that would keep her dry? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-amp-potty-training#post-1946746 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 21:38:49 +0000 cheesetomywhine 1946746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it made a difference? Not sure though. She potty trained at 23 months so not particularly early in my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-amp-potty-training#post-1946369 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 10:27:53 +0000 sorrycharlie 1946369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. She's almost 26 months, in cloth &amp; does not tell me when she's wet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-amp-potty-training#post-1946355 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 10:03:28 +0000 sarac 1946355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For us, it was that as part of the process, she didn't want to wear cloth diapers any more. Because she would feel that they were more wet. So she started asking for disposables. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-amp-potty-training#post-1946282 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 05:55:15 +0000 honeybear 1946282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think cloth diapers had much of an impact for LO. That said, we took a slow-ish approach and it took around 4 months before he was always making it to the potty in time. I think the single biggest factor was simply putting LO in real underwear. Spring for the kind with some extra padding, like the Gerber ones. They definitely feel wet, but they absorb some of the pee so it doesn't all hit your floor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-amp-potty-training#post-1946240 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 23:23:23 +0000 autumnlove 1946240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a little? She started telling me when she wet her diapers a few months before we started potty training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-amp-potty-training#post-1946208 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 22:01:18 +0000 MamaCate 1946208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know how big a role the cloth played, but we successfully potty trained at 27 months, which was on the early side for LO's class. I think bigger factors may have been having an older friend who was in undies which was a motivation and being developmentally able to manage it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-amp-potty-training#post-1946196 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 21:26:15 +0000 Skadi 1946196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard that cloth diapers make toddlers easier to potty train because disposables give a false sense of dryness after peeing, whereas cloth diapers (particularly ones that don't have a microfiber top layer) feel wet the minute they are soiled.</p> <p>Do you think cloth diapers helped your LO figure out potty training at an earlier age or more quickly once the process was started? </p>
