DS is 20 months and they have been telling me he's ready at daycare for a few monhs because he says poop when he goes in his diaper. I think he recognizes he needs to be changed but isn't ready for full on PT yet so we've just been introducing the potty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-asking-to-have-diaper-changed#post-1632269 Tue, 13 May 2014 17:58:47 +0000 googly-eyes 1632269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO sometimes says "poopy diaper" but I know she's not totally ready for the potty yet. Haven't experienced it with pee but honesty I would just keep changing her. Potty learning could be right around the corner and I wouldn't want to discourage that. If you're using disposable diapers I would consider switching to the cheapest ones you can find while at home and not asleep. Sounds like there won't be enough pee for leaks anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-asking-to-have-diaper-changed#post-1632265 Tue, 13 May 2014 17:54:49 +0000 sarac 1632265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, that was the start of potty training for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-asking-to-have-diaper-changed#post-1631689 Tue, 13 May 2014 13:37:52 +0000 LuLu Mom 1631689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, she says "I stinky, I need diaper" and will run and get it. Just with poop though not when she's wet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-asking-to-have-diaper-changed#post-1631677 Tue, 13 May 2014 13:35:53 +0000 birdofafeather 1631677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with PPs that it sounds like the perfect time to start potty training! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-asking-to-have-diaper-changed#post-1631502 Tue, 13 May 2014 12:43:08 +0000 MrsTiz 1631502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, that screams potty-training ready to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-asking-to-have-diaper-changed#post-1631497 Tue, 13 May 2014 12:41:38 +0000 mrsjazz 1631497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO does this, but instead of for pee, she does it every time she farts! haha. She says she pooped and brings us a new diaper. We let her wear training panties or nothing at all when we're home, there have been accidents but this week she pooped on the toilet 3x so it's something.</p> <p>Can you try pull-ups or training panties? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-asking-to-have-diaper-changed#post-1631496 Tue, 13 May 2014 12:41:34 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1631496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say that's a good hint she might be ready for the potty. :) we trained at 22.5 months and it was so great to be done with diapers, at least during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-asking-to-have-diaper-changed#post-1631460 Tue, 13 May 2014 12:29:31 +0000 autumnlove 1631460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO started talking about pee and poop at 24 months but she didn't want to use the potty. We tried the 3 day training method at 27 months and it clicked (for the most part...still working on poops) for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-asking-to-have-diaper-changed#post-1631450 Tue, 13 May 2014 12:26:52 +0000 MamaG 1631450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it maybe time to consider moving away from diapers? LO never asked to have her diapers changed, but she showed other signs of readiness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-asking-to-have-diaper-changed#post-1631434 Tue, 13 May 2014 12:21:28 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1631434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's 22 months old and has recently started to ask for her diaper to be changed. It would be a great if she didn't ask all the time! </p> <p>Right after we change her, she brings us one of her diapers and says, "pee pee". At first, she waited awhile and we'd end up changing her, even though she really didn't need changing (but she was wet). Now she's kind of obsessed with her diapers and always asks to be changed.</p> <p>I want to encourage her awareness, but at the same time, I don't want to waste diapers. Anyone else go through this? Any and all advice appreciated! :heart: </p>
