My 2.5 year old can go #1 in the toilet just fine but doesn’t even recognize when he needs to go #2…doesn’t give any signals and is irregular. Does this mean he just isn’t ready?

What about nighttime potty training? We’ve been successful with daytime potty training for almost 2 years now (I have a 4 year old) but can’t seem to get him to stay dry through the night. Tips/ideas/suggestions/help!!!!!

My son is older now, but Pull Ups got us through a difficult time in potty training, so thank you Pull Ups!

Is it OK to put your kids in smaller sized Pull ups to save $$ by getting more diapers?

My three year old grandson is fine during the day but we still have the nighttime issues staying dry some nights yes most nights no and also pooping in the toilet. Why can’t we get him to poop in the toilet? I’m sure the night time issue will come when he gets a little older he just turned 3 in September but would really appreciate the help in how to get him to sit on the toilet for more than 30 seconds.
Thank you

I’m so happy he went straight for the toilet and never needed a potty.

I don’t have children, but I have experienced potty training with one kitten and two puppies. Here is what I’ve learned:
Kitten: take to the bathroom after eating, playing, napping – give treats & praise after litter box usage – potty trained in 5 days
Puppy (boy): take to the bathroom after eating, playing, napping – put potty pad next to the door and every time puppy goes near pad, take right outside – give treats & praise after every successful potty – potty trained in a month
Puppy (girl) if your girl puppy is like mine, then you probably call her Princess Pretty Paws, like I do, therefore: take to the bathroom after eating, playing, napping – put potty pad next to the door and every time puppy goes near pad, take right outside and be quick about it, because she’ll only give you about 5 seconds – stand out side and repeat “go potty for mommy” over and over until she does her business; if it’s raining, she won’t go out – give treats & praise after every successful potty – potty trained in 2-3 months
I wish PULL UPS could have worked for us 🙂

How do you get them to go from using a little potty (training potty) to the big potty? My three year old will go in the little potty sitting down, but he does NOT like the big potty, even with a potty seat 🙁

I am attempting to potty train child #6. He just turned 3 last week. He knows what the potty is, and how to use it, and he knows when he has to go, but HE has decided that he does NOT want to potty train, no matter what! In fact, when we talk to him about it, he says “I not go in the potty, I a baby, I go in my diaper!”. Yes, he is very much the baby but he is very intelligent and apparently has associated the potty with big boy which means end of baby perks. This is NOT true of course so how do I convince him otherwise? This has never happened to me. A couple of the others gave me trouble but more out of “laziness” than an actual mindset. HELP!

Oh, I don’t miss the days of potty training! My question is, could Jen Singer be any cuter? Seriously! Actually, my only tip is not to push too hard or your child may push back and nothing will get done.

We have been diaper free for about two months now. My only issue is that my DD (she is 3) still is scared to poop. She will go, but sometimes it is a fight. How can I get her to understand that it doesn’t hurt to poop on the potty? Once she goes she will say things like “your right mommy that didn’t hurt” but never remembers that it doesn’t hurt.

We’re past potty training so I can’t think of any questions for now, but I’m looking forward to checking back and seeing the answers because the questions that have been asked are really good!

My little guy does great during the day, but we still use Pull-Ups at night. What is your advice for nighttime potty training?!

My 2 1/2 year old started toilet traing about 5 moths agoand was doing really well, every time I sat her on the toilet she weed and for a few weeks was actually started going by herself-the a few weeks ago she suddenly started flatly refusing to use the toilet at all- if I ask her to she says ‘no’- if i sit her on the toilet she goes rigid and fights it- Ive tried all kinds of incentives and rewards but nothing is working-please help????
