My son is getting eczema flares around his diaper, like hips and upper thighs, and I am considering what brand to try next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-tips-for-a-toddler-allergic-to-pull-ups#post-2443786 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 16:37:21 +0000 BelugaBean 2443786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went pantsless for three days then went to underwear. She's never used pull ups (just a diaper at night). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-tips-for-a-toddler-allergic-to-pull-ups#post-2443782 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 16:33:18 +0000 skipra 2443782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: That was my thought. Better to catch poop than nothing but if there are cloth trainers, even better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-tips-for-a-toddler-allergic-to-pull-ups#post-2443715 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 15:09:53 +0000 Torchwood 2443715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our cloth diaper service has training diaper options. You might look into it, since it would give you the ability to use cloth without the investment for something you'll need so briefly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-tips-for-a-toddler-allergic-to-pull-ups#post-2443711 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 15:07:53 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2443711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They do make cloth trainers though. Lots of different styles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-tips-for-a-toddler-allergic-to-pull-ups#post-2443709 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 15:07:23 +0000 LovelyPlum 2443709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Seventh Generation Pull-Ups, and my very sensitive LO doesn't get irritated by them. We're not actually potty training yet, but she wants to be able to put them on and off by herself. Might be worth a try? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-tips-for-a-toddler-allergic-to-pull-ups#post-2443704 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 14:54:30 +0000 Finfan 2443704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did Oh Crap Potty Training (and she was over 3, well past the recommended age) and went straight to undies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-tips-for-a-toddler-allergic-to-pull-ups#post-2443703 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 14:54:10 +0000 sunny 2443703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used training underwear instead of pull ups! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-tips-for-a-toddler-allergic-to-pull-ups#post-2443680 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 14:13:19 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2443680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: Cloth swim diapers are actually designed to have pee go straight through them. They are for catching poop only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-tips-for-a-toddler-allergic-to-pull-ups#post-2443679 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 14:12:37 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2443679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Straight to undies for us (well, after a loooong time commando with just pants/shorts). We use a cloth version of a pull up at naptime over gerber underwear (the gerber absorbs enough for naptime and the "pull up" is just a pull on/off diaper cover. We use a regular cloth diaper at night. We call it his "good night underwear" but I think he knows it is a diaper and just doesn't care haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-tips-for-a-toddler-allergic-to-pull-ups#post-2443662 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 13:48:02 +0000 skipra 2443662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I wonder if you could use cloth swim diapers? They won't hold much but could help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-tips-for-a-toddler-allergic-to-pull-ups#post-2443660 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 13:45:32 +0000 brownepiano 2443660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did cloth diapers, and I wasn't about to buy the extenders to turn them into pull ups. I just bought a bunch of training underwear (they are more padded) and we've been using those. It's been slow because he's young, but I just washed them when we ran out. If we needed to go out and I really didn't want a mess I just put a diaper cover over his underwear. We still do cloth diapers for naps and bedtime right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-tips-for-a-toddler-allergic-to-pull-ups#post-2443618 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 12:58:21 +0000 Applesandbananas 2443618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did Oh Crap!

We're switching because T is being irritated by diapers even after switching from Pampers to Huggies. They have training pants out now and I think they're pull ups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-tips-for-a-toddler-allergic-to-pull-ups#post-2443586 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 11:55:00 +0000 sorrycharlie 2443586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what about those new huggies diapers that pull on and off? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-tips-for-a-toddler-allergic-to-pull-ups#post-2443585 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 11:52:59 +0000 skipra 2443585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you stay home or is she in daycare? We had success going pants less for a few weeks at home and just loose pants no pull up or undies when we went out. And you could still use diapers for sleeping. Unfortunately not a great solution if she is in daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-tips-for-a-toddler-allergic-to-pull-ups#post-2443582 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 11:49:13 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2443582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like the title says... my 22 month old is potty training herself, but she's allergic to all but one kind of diaper. I'm sure we could keep using her current diaper but it's not easy to get on and off like pull-ups would be. </p> <p>I'm trying to think of a plan of how to help her help herself </p>
