So he wore pull-ups, but he was dry 95% of the time. After nearly two-months of that, we ditched the pull-ups. He hasn't ever had nighttime accident! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-potty-training-fast-or-slow-for-you#post-545431 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 21:08:35 +0000 mrsmenow 545431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A consistant routine with frequent pottying, even if they don't think they have to go-every couple of hours sit on the potty. We also did the sticker chart. My oldest really thought the sticker chart was great, my second not so much. Picking out cute undies when they are consistently dry, I think keeping them in diapers too long can draw out the process, with undies the wet feeling is much more uncomfortable than a diaper/ppull up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-potty-training-fast-or-slow-for-you#post-545429 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 21:08:15 +0000 Maysprout 545429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: Awesome. And nights werent a problem? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-potty-training-fast-or-slow-for-you#post-545421 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 21:05:05 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 545421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: 31 months. I could have started earlier, but needed a 3-day stretch, so we waited until spring break. The method recommends 22 months as the ideal time to train. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-potty-training-fast-or-slow-for-you#post-545419 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 21:03:42 +0000 Maysprout 545419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: Your post was one that was making me think of it. How old when you did the 3 day method? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-potty-training-fast-or-slow-for-you#post-545417 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 21:02:46 +0000 Maysprout 545417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: How'd you do it? I'd love to make it a faster process next time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-potty-training-fast-or-slow-for-you#post-545415 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 21:02:11 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 545415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fast! We did the 3-day method and were done and out of the house by day 4! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-potty-training-fast-or-slow-for-you#post-545412 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 21:01:28 +0000 mrsmenow 545412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fast x 2. Both of my girls went to undies pretty fast and never looked back. Both were out of diaper at 2. We didn't use pull ups at night or anything and neither one had accidents. I feel like my third here is destined to give me a hard time, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-potty-training-fast-or-slow-for-you#post-545406 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 20:58:37 +0000 Maysprout 545406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Good luck! I think grandmas have special potty training powers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-potty-training-fast-or-slow-for-you#post-545382 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 20:42:14 +0000 chopsuey 545382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My moms coming in march and we're gonna potty train dd! She'll be a few weeks shy of 2! Will keep you posted :)<br /> I figure 3 adults to 1 toddler has a pretty good chance for success. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-potty-training-fast-or-slow-for-you#post-545376 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 20:39:09 +0000 Maysprout 545376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And would you change it?</p> <p>For us it's been slow. We did our own little version of EC, which I really liked bc I changed less diapers and she stayed dry longer since she usually peed on the potty before a new diaper.<br /> But with moving and traveling a lot there was a big regression and then it's been various levels of reliable once we started sitting her on the potty again, with each peak being a little higher and each regression being a little less. I think we're almost there but whew, lots of work and a long time!<br /> I'm not sure what I'd change next time since I did like teaching her to use the potty early but it def wasn't easy peasy. We did try a bit a fast approach but never stayed home for 3 days in a row to really focus on just that so maybe next time I'll try that. </p>
