Sun and Monday he was excited about undies, but had minimal success using the toilet. Tuesday (day 3) was about 70% success and he stayed dry for nap and overnight. Yesterday (day 4) he had two partial pee accidents and a poop accident; everything else went in the toilet. He was also dry again for nap and overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2751094 Thu, 22 Jun 2017 20:30:54 +0000 daniellemybelle 2751094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With OCPT, it was 2 days to 95% pee trained, maybe 2 weeks to 95% poop trained. It was almost a year until I never had to think about reminding her or worrying about accidents but we trained at 22 months, and I don't think zero accidents ever is realistic no matter the age. My memory is fuzzy but I think we maybe had one or two accidents per week for a while if I slacked on reminding her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2751078 Thu, 22 Jun 2017 19:23:23 +0000 Mrs. Cookie 2751078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Umm we're a month in so far and still a ton of accidents!

He was already three, so he understood the concept and could get his own pants down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2749968 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 22:35:16 +0000 MamaG 2749968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our first was naturally interested and we didn't train. This second kid though is another story. I'm starting to read up on training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2749957 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 22:11:59 +0000 Mrs. Blue 2749957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The 1st, 2nd, or 3rd time we tried?!?! Potty training the twins was awwwwful. The third time it took about 1 week before the pee accidents slowed and for poop about 2 weeks for one twin and about 3-4 for the other.</p> <p>This is why #3 is just going to have to walk in at like 10 and tell me he wants to stop wearing diapers. I can't bring myself to face it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2749784 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 14:09:03 +0000 MsMini 2749784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS - 3/4 days</p> <p>DD - 6 months and counting ... 🤦🏼‍♀️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2749717 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 12:15:33 +0000 HeartAbandoned 2749717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We potty trained over spring break, when we were able to have him at home all week (including grandparent and babysitter care). We kept him naked all of day 1, bottomless on day 2, and commando the rest of the week. We day &amp; night trained simultaneously and got rid of all our diapers all at once, so none of us had it to rely on. His only accidents were a result of us not prompting him consistently (taking him every 30 minutes or so at the beginning). That was March, and now in June he's entirely self-initiating, with maybe 1 night-time accident/week, when he just sleeps through needing to pee. The only time he had an accident at preschool after we trained was when his teachers failed to prompt him (and they told us, "it was our fault."). He was 25-26 months when we trained. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2749667 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 11:08:52 +0000 catlady 2749667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 days (weekend), then she went to daycare and had 1 accident per day the first week, then maybe 3 total accidents the next week, then after about a month, she was doing great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2749651 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 10:32:07 +0000 kes18 2749651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2. We just did it over the weekend (as daycare requested) and sent her in underwear on that Monday. She really had no accidents at home (we took her every 15min or so). She had some poop accidents the first week (going poop for the first time in the toilet sort of freaked her out) but otherwise she was fine. She was almost 2.5 and started asking to go consistently so it was very easy overall </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2749638 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 10:09:55 +0000 lilyofthewest 2749638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll have 4 days with both mamas at home, and a 5th day where I'm back to work but my partner is home. I'm feeling pretty hopeful about sending LO back to daycare on day 6. T-minus-9 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2749558 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 07:42:03 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2749558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have many accidents but it wasn't until the fifth day that my oldest figured out going without me promoting.<br /> My second had that part down on the second day but on day four will still hold for her nap diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2749548 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 07:13:26 +0000 Cole 2749548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We failed out after 4 days, we didn't have a single success even after I took away the nap diaper that she was holding out for. Turns out she mastered holding it but really struggled with how to release. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2749496 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 21:59:50 +0000 Anagram 2749496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 days for LO1-- She had 4 accidents day 1, 2-3 accidents day 2, then 1 accident a day for like 3 days. But I had a newborn at home, so I wasn't always available when she started going, so that's why the 1-accident-a-day period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2749493 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 21:49:55 +0000 autumnlove 2749493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 days for LO 1 for pee and a few months for poop!</p> <p>About 3 weeks for LO 2 but I wasn't as vigilant with a newborn at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2748985 Sun, 18 Jun 2017 21:44:20 +0000 reverie 2748985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 months counting the major regression when his sibling was born.

DD was 27 months and beyond ready. I couldn't figure out a third full day off work so I picked her up after nap at daycare Friday afternoon and sent her to school in undies on Monday. It was an intense weekend but it worked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2748976 Sun, 18 Jun 2017 19:52:46 +0000 MrsStar 2748976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 days. Didn't try until dd was 3 years old though so she was definitely ready. She day and night trained at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2748973 Sun, 18 Jun 2017 19:29:51 +0000 lawbee11 2748973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first day she had like 17 accidents. By the third day she was down to just a few. So definite progress, but we kept her home two more days before sending her back to daycare just because I was so paranoid it wouldn't stick. She did fine once we sent her back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2748971 Sun, 18 Jun 2017 19:28:06 +0000 Banana330 2748971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so we tried this in dec.. it didn't go well. </p> <p>Last weekend she decided she didn't want to wear diapers so we did bottomless for a day, mostly on the potty one or two accidents, the next day was mostly bottomless and sometimes shorts. One big poop that didn't quite make it. At daycare last week she had 3ish accidents a day, but daycare can't watch her as closely as we could. By thursday no accidents and friday and sat successful poops on the potty. We still have to prod her to go sometimes but she's telling us more and more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2748953 Sun, 18 Jun 2017 18:14:00 +0000 Grace 2748953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2748929 Sun, 18 Jun 2017 15:35:40 +0000 travellingbee 2748929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: me too!

He got the hang of it right away, and it only took 1/2 of a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2748853 Sun, 18 Jun 2017 09:49:29 +0000 Foodnerd81 2748853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyofthewest: two! I think she was just really really ready when we potty trained, because my daughter had theee pee accidents where we whisked her right to the potty and she got it, so much faster than I expected. Poop took another day. After that, she just got it and has hardly had any accidents. She was about 2.75 at the time. (Potty training is like the one and only thing my kid gave me an easy time with 😂) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-was-3-days#post-2748839 Sun, 18 Jun 2017 08:18:37 +0000 lilyofthewest 2748839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those of you who have done potty training via the 3-day method...how many days did it really take? </p>
