Potty Training Recs

I'm posting this on the Toddlers board as well, but I figured I'd ask you ladies since some are approaching the stage or been there done that. There's a million training potties out there. Any recs on them or resources? Reese is showing interest. TIA!

Re: Potty Training Recs

  • I asked here, but ended up going with what I felt best with. I wanted something that resembled a toilet, but I hate the singing one.

    We bought this one

     last Christmas and Alex has been sitting on it occasionally ever since. Some days she can go hours without an accident, some days she'll pee on the floor 3 times in 10 minutes. We found, for us, she does better naked than with training pants or underpants, although she has both. We didn't put the toilet paper or wipes in it since that would just be asking for trouble, but I like that it's her size, rather than just the seat so she can go in and use it without help. She's done that a few times and it's great.

     

  • We got a cheapy potty ring that sits right on our toilet and Neena loves it.

    ETA: As for tips, I don't really have any. We're just following Neena's lead. We aren't doing anything intense. She likes to use the potty and we've been successful with pooping but she hasn't peed on the potty yet. She's still waking up wet in the mornings, so that an indication to me that she's not quite ready to be fully trained.

  • We started with a cheap little potty and Abby used that for like a month before she wanted to sit on the big potty so we just got a ring that goes on.  I like that much better cause I don't have to clean out a potty!  She started showing interest around 20 months, but nothing really started being routine until this past month.  We didn't read any books or anything, just went with the flow.  We didn't want to pressure her.  She has been going to the potty at daycare since she was about 2.  Thats when they start having all the kids taking trips to the potty.  Now that she is in pre-school she has been poop free in her diaper for 5 days now!!  She is also asking to go pee-pee too!  We are hoping she is making some permanent progress, but honestly with the twins its easier to have her in a diaper than taking her to the potty every hour!
