I don't want to leave her a pee pad in the ex-pen because i don't want her thinking she can go potty in the house when mommys not home. I was her to go strictly outside. Do you think she'll be able to do it? I'm would love to hear from other people who have this situation as well and if its worked for them.

Hi Kellie, I highly suggest then that you crate your baby so she will learn bladder control. That is what I did with Tiger although he is good with the pad too . . .you need to know initially how long does it take her to hold her pee, then gradually increase her staying in the crate. I used increments of 30 minutes every week . . .good luck!
