Welcome to YT!
I have two girls who couldn't be more opposite in the potty area. Rosie will whine like crazy when she needs to go. Mikki doesn't do anything.
With Rosie, we got her at 6 months old. She wasn't potty trained at that point. I would take her out about every 2 hours. When she would potty, we would praise and give her a treat. She did very well.
Mikki we got at 1 years old. She likes to use pee pads and will hit them about 75% of the time. We are still working with her on potty outside or on the pee pad. Again, we praise praise praise when she goes. We do not punish her when she messes up. I do not agree with the Petco employee. Praise don't punish.
Your new baby has had a complete change and you have only had him a few weeks. Don't get frustrated and don't give up. It takes time but will be so worth having him with you! |
