YouTube potty songs! mine still runs and jumps around singing "I used the potty potty, I use the potty potty" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-must-haves-besides-the-obvious#post-1972045 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 08:04:34 +0000 lamariniere 1972045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you are covered! We didn't do pull ups, we went straight to underwear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-must-haves-besides-the-obvious#post-1972035 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 07:50:06 +0000 heffalump 1972035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Water proof shoes, like crocs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-must-haves-besides-the-obvious#post-1972015 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 07:15:18 +0000 looch 1972015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: yep, we have that little looster and it's great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-must-haves-besides-the-obvious#post-1972007 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 06:50:53 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1972007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: yep, the undies had his favorite characters and it was important that he be uncomfortable if he had an accident. After a couple days he was over peeing on himself :-) we still do night diapers though, not forcing that.</p> <p><a href="http://mobile.walmart.com/ip/Disney-Cars-Folding-Potty-Seat/15846721" rel="nofollow">http://mobile.walmart.com/ip/Disney-Cars-Folding-Potty-Seat/15846721</a></p> <p>The foldable seat is like the link above. It can be hard to position so that it doesn't slip, but it's easy to shove in my bag and he was ok with it after the initial fear of public bathrooms faded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-must-haves-besides-the-obvious#post-1971754 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 21:51:52 +0000 Bao 1971754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: We want to skip pull ups too, did that work out well? What's this portable potty thing you speak of? Haha off to Google... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-must-haves-besides-the-obvious#post-1971731 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 21:42:16 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1971731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: haha, yes. I forgot the carpet cleaner for those first couple days ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-must-haves-besides-the-obvious#post-1971728 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 21:41:37 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1971728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-11450Z-Little-Looster/dp/B00E4UNLQC" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-11450Z-Little-Looster/dp/B00E4UNLQC</a></p> <p>These have been really helpful in combination with the potty seat. They help LO feel more stable (and he's the kind of kid who scares easy, so important for us)!</p> <p>Our only other supplies were underwear (no pull-ups), bribes (M&amp;Ms, toy cars, sticker chart) and a travel potty seat (one of the foldable ones that goes on seats when we're out). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-must-haves-besides-the-obvious#post-1971724 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 21:40:19 +0000 keiki_mama 1971724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wash rags, cleansing solution, and lots and lots of patience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-must-haves-besides-the-obvious#post-1971722 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 21:39:57 +0000 jetsa 1971722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: i think you set their tush on the front part of the seat and since they're little that's enough support. I can report back in 10ish months ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-must-haves-besides-the-obvious#post-1971712 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 21:35:40 +0000 Bao 1971712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: lol what?! I'm trying to imagine how that would even work...wouldn't they still "fall in?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-must-haves-besides-the-obvious#post-1971706 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 21:30:45 +0000 jetsa 1971706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my daycare lady who's been training kids for 25 years swears neither a seat or chair is necessary you just set them on the toilet backwards. No idea if it works but she's got me convinced lol (not that we've tried it yet DS is only 14 months) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-must-haves-besides-the-obvious#post-1971694 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 21:27:07 +0000 Bao 1971694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Besides the obvious, what are some potty training must haves? </p> <p>We are taking the plunge in January and will potty train LO1. We have a potty seat, underwear and will use M&amp;M's as a reward (I think?). We have one of those potty seats that go on the toilet but thought maybe we could get one of the little chairs too...thoughts on that? </p>
