We potty trained early though (22 months) so I was still reminding her for several months. It was a gradual progression from essentially telling her every so often, "Time to go potty," to asking her and being able to trust if she said yes or no, to now at almost 3.5 we rarely need to remind her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-could-you-stop-reminding#post-2680527 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 21:59:27 +0000 travellingbee 2680527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few days. But I still have to tell him to stop doing the peepee dance and GO! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-could-you-stop-reminding#post-2680520 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 21:39:32 +0000 Bao 2680520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DisneyBee: yes! It was like 3 days with LO1 and done. Fully trained, caught right on. Not so much this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-could-you-stop-reminding#post-2680450 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 18:18:26 +0000 bookwormmama 2680450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still ask regularly and my LO has been potty trained for almost 6 months. He likes to hold it for hours/until he is about to pee, so when he starts grabbing and dancing around I start asking pretty regularly. He usually goes in his own anyways (like I could ask and he says no and then 2 minutes later says he needs to go), but he can get easily distracted playing too and not listen to the signs, so I like to keep it in the front of his mind with reminders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-could-you-stop-reminding#post-2680429 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 17:15:57 +0000 Cherrybee 2680429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are well over a year into potty training and I'm still asking. LO still has at least one accident a day at the weekend,more if I don't remind (and enforce). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-could-you-stop-reminding#post-2680358 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 13:17:20 +0000 DisneyBee 2680358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the same boat, so I'm following this thread. Is it me, or is the second one more difficult to potty train? My LO#2 is a bit stubborn, and does get annoyed with me asking him every 15 minutes if he needs to go potty. But then, when I forget to ask, he has an accident. I remember my LO#1 got it right away after the first day. </p> <p>Some days, I feel like it's easier to put a diaper on him and then go out. &lt;sigh&gt; </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-could-you-stop-reminding#post-2680334 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 11:57:01 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2680334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On the fifth day she started going on her own without prompting. I still remind her before we leave the house but that's more a warning that we won't have access to a toilet not a do you have to pee thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-could-you-stop-reminding#post-2680325 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 11:33:02 +0000 catomd00 2680325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was about 3 weeks in before DD started telling us she he to go. After that it clicked really quickly and I only remind her to go now before we leave the house, or before nap/bed, and occasionally if I realize she hasn't been in a while. We started at Thanksgiving and she hasn't had an accident since around Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-could-you-stop-reminding#post-2680298 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 10:29:12 +0000 FaithFertility 2680298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD really took to it so maybe after a few weeks, because she seemed to really take charge!</p> <p>I will ask if it's been an hr or we are about to leave..... Well then I demand she tries! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-could-you-stop-reminding#post-2680274 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 08:51:05 +0000 Bao 2680274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are just over a week into potty training, so still in the early stages, but I was curious when others were potty training, when could you finally stop reminding/asking LO to try and go potty? I feel like my LO gets annoyed with me asking so much, so I have scaled back to only asking every 30 minutes or so (was ever 5-10 before), but if I don't ask or forget it seems she has an accident. She will tell me sometimes, but she tends to get distracted in playing. With my oldest it was about 2 weeks and I could stop asking, but she seemed to catch onto it a bit faster. </p>
