Worked well w big transitions! ETA: Ds is also night trained and comes out to get us for motn pees, he pees by himself in the morning before coming to our room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-or-toddler-bed-first#post-2251389 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 15:13:59 +0000 autumnlove 2251389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Potty trained in April and moved to a bed in October! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-or-toddler-bed-first#post-2251387 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 15:08:39 +0000 blackbird 2251387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had planned to potty train first, then tackle the crib when we had to. Unfortunately, we had to convert the bed on day 1 of potty training because E catapulted in. Sigh. If I had a choice, I would have moved her when we had to night train </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-or-toddler-bed-first#post-2251376 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 14:45:03 +0000 cascademom 2251376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 2 years old right after his birthday, we did potty training with the support of our daycare. He's turning three next month and still in a crib. With the arrival of his little brother, we don't have the space to put him in a toddler bed and use the crib for the baby. Right now, the baby sleeps in an RNP while he still has the crib. We plan on switching him to a toddler bed/big boy bed when we move. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-or-toddler-bed-first#post-2251372 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 14:43:26 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2251372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want them to be as far apart as possible because I think each *can* be a big battle. We were forced by preschool to PT first and he's extremely happy in his crib so I don't want to mess with his sleep until he's fully potty trained and ready to night train. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-or-toddler-bed-first#post-2251370 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 14:41:41 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2251370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We potty trained in August and moved to a toddler bed in September, but it would have made more sense to transition to a toddler bed first since she started waking up in the middle of the night to pee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-or-toddler-bed-first#post-2251368 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 14:38:41 +0000 daniellemybelle 2251368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Oh, I know! Sorry if I wasn't clear. I don't feel like we need to move to a big girl bed just because we are potty training soon. I am keeping her in the crib until she can climb out. :)</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: Ha! LO has peed on the potty a few times. But she also likes to sit on it, not pee, but still go through the steps of wiping, flushing, washing her hands, all very thoroughly and with much seriousness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-or-toddler-bed-first#post-2251355 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 14:23:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 2251355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C just turned 2 and we just let her start sleeping in the big bed this week- but she was not sleeping well in her crib at all and was pretty insistent on the big bed. </p> <p>We are starting to talk a little about potty training but definitely not pushing it at all yet. She likes to try to go potty but has yet to actually do anything in the toilet. She'd rather wait and pee in the tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-or-toddler-bed-first#post-2251351 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 14:21:04 +0000 hilsy85 2251351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we potty trained about 4 months ago, and LO is still in a crib. He calls for us when he needs to use the potty in the MOTN, which isn't often (he also still is in a diaper overnight). I would not assume that night training would quickly follow potty day training, as they are separate processes (night training is more just physiological) so I don't necessarily think that you need to put her in a big bed. It also takes a while for them to be able to pull down and pull up their clothes on their own so it's not like it's an independent process so quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-or-toddler-bed-first#post-2251333 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 14:07:43 +0000 Mamaof2 2251333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS - PTd first</p> <p>DD - did at the same time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-or-toddler-bed-first#post-2251323 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 14:00:36 +0000 chopsuey 2251323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we moved DS to a big boy bed, then potty trained. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-or-toddler-bed-first#post-2251292 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 13:40:17 +0000 daniellemybelle 2251292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like at this age (nearly 2) one or both is going on for most LOs. I think we will stay in the crib a while longer but probably potty train soon. She is showing lots of potty readiness signs including asking to go potty and peeing - but she has not tried to escape her crib and sleeps well in it, and there is not another LO on the way to take her place. Just wondering which came first for most of you! </p>
