Volume 30, Issue 1 Winter 2011 A Publication of Tiny Tots Diaper Service and Baby Boutique Our Potty Training Success Story by Anne, Fremont

God has blessed us with a potty trained 23 month old. He did not become a member of our family until he was 20 months old. We are in the process of finalizing his adoption, along with his four biological brothers and sister. We also previously adopted a sibling group of three.

Readiness – In our case our baby did not show any of the “signs of readiness”, but we, his parents, were quite ready. We feed our kids lots of fruits and vegetables, and they make an equal amount of poo. We were motivated!

Awareness – We switched to cloth diapers to stimulate his awareness of what it feels like when you eliminate on yourself.

Pulling the day diapers – The first thing we did was to tell him there would be no more diapers and keep him naked on the bottom. When he “went” on the floor he got a clear signal from Mommy and his siblings khaki, no sweats! And initially we skipped underwear as we were that this was not desirable . He quickly learned toileting on the floor concerned that they might feel like a diaper to him. In time we were was not suitable and begged for the diaper back. We told him, “Bye-bye catching mostly everything, with clothes on, by day so we decided to diapers” and did not acquiesce. Now the chubby little bear that we pull the diapers at night also. assumed had no bowel control surprised us by halting elimination. This was hard for me. Would he become impacted? I thought not because Bye-Bye night diapers – We believe it is confusing to train a child to there was too much fiber going in to not come out. It was a bittersweet potty during the day, and then put diapers on at night. So when he honeymoon of sorts for him and I. For two days he wanted to be carried had figured out how to potty by day, we switched him from a crib to in the Ergo carrier non-stop and would occasionally start to pee on me. a toddler bed and pulled the diapers at night. We attempted to potty I would change my and wait for the next round. There was no him each night before putting him to bed, got him up to potty before willingness to sit on the potty. we went to bed around 10:30, and woke up to potty him around 3:00. He did not want to be awakened and did not want to sit on the potty. Adding the potty – Our little one always eliminated when eating, and I turned on the lights and we had a contest of wills for two nights. he eats a lot. Our eight year old suggested we set the baby potty on a When I found him wet in bed, I got him up to change him and the bed. bench at his place at the table. Of course this was unorthodox, but we Then, the third diaperless night he was peaceful. I kept the light low were ready to try anything reasonable. His love of eating became our and carried him to the potty, he sleepily allowed me to stand him up collateral to entice him onto the throne. He took his new seat at the table and help get his pants down. He sat and peed with eyes half shut as I and the magic began. For several days the only elimination we caught patted his legs. I carried him back to bed and he was asleep in minutes. was while he was eating at the table. Every time he was met with wild Amazing, it worked! After about a week he started staying mostly dry excitement from all of us: clapping, singing, dancing. It was our five year at night. Soon after, we stopped getting up to take him potty. Currently, old’s job to put a sticker on his hand. He glowed from the praise.

About a week ago we stopped sitting him on the At first just when it was his idea, and I didn’t push it. Gradually he was potty during meals. All together it has taken a month. willing to sit when requested. Final thoughts - I was very encouraged by the Tiny Tots website where Adding pants – Seems like it was about two or three weeks into the I read that in 1957, 92% of babies were potty trained by 18 months. process when we tentatively added pants back into his .

I believe not waiting too long is leave the house and didn’t want to confuse him with diapers. We took his also key.

We asked Leah, the owner of Better For Babies, to explain how wool covers work, why they are desirable and how to launder them. Here’s what Leah had to say: The Wool Soaker IS the cover.
