And for the next week or so we had very limited outtings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-in-the-house-for-potty-training#post-278873 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 20:34:56 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 278873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we went cold turkey, so didn't leave the house for 3 days, til he got it. we did venture outside to play in front of the house, but didn't get in the car at all...but, really, but day 3, he was good to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-in-the-house-for-potty-training#post-278796 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 19:14:25 +0000 erwoo 278796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I stayed home for about 3 days to make sure he got the idea down. Then when we went out I did put on pull-ups just in case. And I stopped using pull-ups until he was able to come home with it dry consecutive days in a row. I did use pull-ups for a little bit when we were on longer car trips (30+ minutes) but have since stopped and now I just make sure he goes to the potty right before we get into the car. I make it a rule now. Even if he says he doesn't need to I ask him to try. Most times he goes. </p> <p>Good luck with potty training! My only advice is not to force it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-in-the-house-for-potty-training#post-278495 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:58:25 +0000 mamimami 278495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ACK! This is going to be very intense.</p> <p>@chopsuey119: GOOD LUCK! Hope neither of us has to take a pants-off toddler anywhere LOL. I agreed to bring snacks to Bible Study next Weds night so I am sort of worried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-in-the-house-for-potty-training#post-278415 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 13:58:18 +0000 Honeybee 278415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did three days at home with DD; if we absolultely HAD to go somewhere (which happened once), one person went out and the other stayed home with DD. We specifically planned our potty training for a time when both of us were off work and would be home for 7 days in a row, and then we prepared ahead of time (grocery shopping, errands, etc...) so we wouldn't need to leave. We did let DD run around in the backyard, and since it was December, we actually put pants on her. No pull-ups or underwear, just snow pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-in-the-house-for-potty-training#post-278408 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 13:49:26 +0000 chopsuey 278408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the first 2 days you stay home. You can venture out for an hour, but can't put diapers or underwear on your Lo! Just pants.<br /> We're gonna potty train next week too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-in-the-house-for-potty-training#post-278405 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 13:44:57 +0000 Rubies 278405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Based on what I've read about hardcore potty-training, it seems as though one is chained to the house until it's done. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-in-the-house-for-potty-training#post-278404 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 13:43:26 +0000 mamimami 278404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OK, I know this is probably a dumb question. But... I want to get serious with potty training. </p> <p>It seems like all the methods involve staying at home for several (at least 3?) days and camping out near the potty. But what if you HAVE to go somewhere? What do you do? Diaper? Undies and hope for the best? Or forget it, then it's going to be a total failure? </p>
