I think that's what I've decided. I almost wonder if having it on encourages them to potty. I've also had the experience of not seeing him stop to pee or lift his leg or anything, but yet the pad will be soaked with pee
. I've got a really good setup of baby gates finally so I'm able to keep a really close eye on him now (I'm a stay-at-home mom). And, when we aren't here he's in his crate. So maybe I will experiment with not using the bands for awhile. Thanks for all the thoughts!
