We filled the bottom of a bowl with warm water and let her put her hands in. We only had to do it about 2 days and we saw major progress. </p> <p>We also had her go bottomless at home. When she had to go she would ask for her underwear and I very quickly caught on to the fact that she wanted to pee into it like a diaper. </p> <p>We did both of these things last weekend and she has only had 2 accidents in the past week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-dd-tips-tricks#post-2188828 Mon, 25 May 2015 21:04:34 +0000 PinkElephant 2188828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No real tips, but my DD has been potty trained for a good 4-6 months and has always been more consistent with poop over pee. I think it's a much more noticeable sensation of "have to go" combined with a much more uncomfortable situation for them if they have an accident. I find I still really need to do reminders a few times a day for DD (nearly 3) to go pee - I feel like if I don't insist that she pee at certain times (when she gets up, before leaving the house, and usually before we sit down to meals), she doesn't always think to go herself, and will sometimes have an accident.</p> <p>To get her to stay on the potty.....have you tried books? Singing songs, especially ones with hand motions that will distract her? It's kind of mean, but I used to sing "Wheels on the Bus" to my DD to get her to stay on the toilet longer....and now if I sing it to her on the potty, it's a definite trigger to make her go! :)</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-dd-tips-tricks#post-2188740 Mon, 25 May 2015 19:17:30 +0000 mylis.mom 2188740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's pooped in the toilet 3 times this past week. Once it's happening she says "poop" and walks towards the restroom. </p> <p>But, she won't pee in the toilet! I've tried taking her every 30 minutes to sit for about two (if I'm lucky) and the minute I let her down... she bursts. </p> <p>Any tips? </p> <p>Which number did your LO do first while potty training? </p>
