She was doing a lot of what you wrote. She has since peed on the potty once at daycare but we've backed off at home but if she sees it and wants to go we'll put her on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-it-get-better-1#post-2680538 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 22:20:54 +0000 sapphire 2680538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: you may very well be right. Sucks that there isn't a better way to tell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-it-get-better-1#post-2680488 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 20:13:05 +0000 yellowbird 2680488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I potty trained my daughter at 28 months. It literally took one accident and she just *got* it. Maybe she just isn't ready yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-it-get-better-1#post-2680486 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 20:08:10 +0000 FaithFertility 2680486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sapphire: I wouldn't push it too much at that age unless you feel like you have too<br /> DD was about 20 months and was very interested some days 100% other 0% I took her lead and never pushed it<br /> By 21 months she was about 80% by 22 months 100% for day<br /> Now at 24 months 100% day outings and naps<br /> Almost at night too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-it-get-better-1#post-2680463 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 18:53:05 +0000 Bao 2680463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sapphire: we are potty training right now too, but this is our third time trying. She refused the first times we tried a few months back (she will be 3 in 2 months). Finally I filled her up with tons of liquid and sat her on the toilet with my phone. It took a while but eventually she peed and we made a HUGE deal out of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-it-get-better-1#post-2680461 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 18:45:06 +0000 sapphire 2680461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're potty training this weekend using the 3 day method (with a few modifications). My LO is 22 months, highly verbal, knows when she needs to poop but does struggle with knowing when she needs to pee and how to release the pee. For about 6 weeks she has been very interested in the potty and asks to go throughout the day although it typically appears that she asks to go AFTER she has wet her diaper and wants a change. She goes to daycare and they take her to the potty about hourly. She's had a couple of pees and poops in the potty before this weekend.</p> <p>We have about 3 hours left in day 2. She pooped twice in the potty without an accident. For pee though, she has mostly peed on the floor. We've learnt her pee signs but she won't release on the potty (most accidents right next to the toilet) or she'll only try for a few seconds and then pee on floor soon after. the successes we've had is rushing to get her on when we notice the potty dance.<br /> Advice? Commiseration? How long did it take your LO to learn to release on the potty? </p>
