My mom kind of trained her over that weekend (thanks, Grandma!) since LO will do anything to please her. I would say we had the occasional accident (like, once a week maybe?) for a month or so. It was not nearly as tough as I had feared, luckily, though I think that's often the case when you start later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-actually-potty-trained#post-2141599 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 06:34:42 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2141599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's crazy how different kids are. One of mine was instantly dry overnight but gets super distracted during the day and ends up with accidents. The other did great with daytime and had very few accidents but then night time was an ordeal that lasted a long, long time. It's one of those wait and see kind of things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-actually-potty-trained#post-2141529 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 23:24:19 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2141529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started over Christmas break and 3.5 months later we're still working on it. Having some issues with #2. He's 95% potty trained at home, but not car trips/public places yet. And that's cool. It's a journey and that's fine with me. I don't want to force him into it if he's not quite ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-actually-potty-trained#post-2141525 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 23:16:57 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2141525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We introduced the potty at 19 months, she peed in it for a while and did great with no undies on (naked at home), and then we hit training hard for 3 days when my husband was on vacation. She was 26 months. She's had less than 5 accidents since!</p> <p>So, I guess It took 3 days but with months of "practice" beforehand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-actually-potty-trained#post-2141522 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 23:13:05 +0000 birdofafeather 2141522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started young and had a regression when we moved but even though she's been in undies during the day since January, I'm still happy when she doesn't have a (pee) accident. Maybe she's just absent minded or doesn't care but if I don't bring her if it's been a while, there's a strong chance she'll pee her pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-actually-potty-trained#post-2141511 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 22:34:40 +0000 MamaG 2141511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't do a 3 day bootcamp, so it took longer. We really let LO set the pace. From when we started to when we officially stopped all diapers was a year. Our nighttime diaper was the struggle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-actually-potty-trained#post-2141365 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 19:17:35 +0000 cascademom 2141365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say it took about two weeks. He was never without his bottoms at home. We just took him to the bathroom with undies on every half hour until he got more confident. Then, we extended the time to an hour in between, then more. Now, it's more a case of being too long without a potty, before an activity, after an activity, before bed, before school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-actually-potty-trained#post-2141329 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 17:50:45 +0000 keiki_mama 2141329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't do the three day method and it took about a month until we were confident about peeing. He really resisted pooping in the potty and that took MONTHS! I had to bribe him with cartoons to get him to poop in the potty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-actually-potty-trained#post-2141217 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 13:52:14 +0000 sarac 2141217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't do the three day method. At 28 months, my daughter went from peeing in the potty much of the time at home to being 95% reliable in public or at home, and while awake, in about 2 weeks. Diapers off for nap time followed in a month or so, then at night maybe 6 months later. Accidents were 1 or 2 a week for the first few months, then they tapered off to almost never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-actually-potty-trained#post-2141214 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 13:47:34 +0000 yellowbird 2141214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were pretty confident after 3ish days. She really surprised us!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-actually-potty-trained#post-2141209 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 13:38:34 +0000 BandDmommy 2141209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome answers! I have super low expectations and i think that has really helped the process. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-actually-potty-trained#post-2141205 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 13:26:59 +0000 mrsjyw 2141205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We potty trained last month and aside from the first two weeks where he had a few potty accidents and holding poop issues, he hasn't had accidents and is now consistently dry overnight and we are contemplating making the jump to underwear at nighttime too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-actually-potty-trained#post-2141204 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 13:24:00 +0000 Andrea 2141204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt confident by mid-week 2 of her going back to daycare (after we did the 3 day method). I felt like that was the real test since I knew they wouldn't be asking her if she needed to go all the time, like we could do at home. She had a few accidents the first week at daycare and then zero after that so I knew she had it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-actually-potty-trained#post-2141192 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 12:52:03 +0000 BandDmommy 2141192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same question as title.. We are doing 3 day boot camp and he's doing amaze balls bare bottomed. The plan is to go with loose fitting pants/shorts for the next two months to be sure he has got the potty thing down. How long till you felt comfortable your LO had potty training down 100%? I'm guessing a few months </p>
