We had him in undies/pantsless the first couple of days. But we still ran errands and such, 1-2 hour outings. He had a couple of accidents the first couple of days, but he's done well on both the big potty with ring, his own potty, and at a Target bathroom! The first couple of days we just made sure to ask him every 30 min - 1 hour if needed to go. Now he just tells us. If he's pantsless (like last night before bedtime) he'll just go sit on the potty as he's telling us peepee.... or he'll let us know since he still needs help pulling down his underwear. We have him in training pants for his nap and overnight. He's had dry pants overnight and during nap, or sometimes wet. But he goes first thing in the morning regardless. He's gone #2 a handful of times and once in his training pants. It went MUCH easier than what I had thought in my head. Good luck! jmarionsmith on "What method did you use to potty train your boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-method-did-you-use-to-potty-train-your-boy#post-2105008 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 08:40:50 +0000 jmarionsmith 2105008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ right before he turned 2.5 we potty trained. we just bought him some big boy underwear (made a big deal out of it) and then for a few days went bottomless. he got it right away and we haven't had any issues, but i think we just got lucky! eta: but we also used the reward tactic very heavily! lamariniere on "What method did you use to potty train your boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-method-did-you-use-to-potty-train-your-boy#post-2105002 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 08:39:50 +0000 lamariniere 2105002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Our son was 2.5 yo and we did a variation of the 3 day method. He went bottomless at home for a weekend, and figured out pee the first day. I sent him to school in underwear after that and he only had 2 accidents the whole week. winniebee on "What method did you use to potty train your boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-method-did-you-use-to-potty-train-your-boy#post-2104996 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 08:38:19 +0000 winniebee 2104996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Asking about boys because they seem to be on a totally different timeframe and wavelength than girls on the potty training front. T will be 3 in May. He goes pee on the potty occasionally but rarely asks to go. At preschool he apparently goes all the time. Debating just going pantless next month and seeing what happens. Been waiting since I have an infant still! What worked for your boy and what age did it work?
