| potty training a human baby My daughter will be 2 soon, and is starting to be aware when she goes to the bathroom. She pulls on her diaper and says "totty" ( potty ). I was wondering if anyone has any tips on potty training. Know of any good training pants to make her more aware of when she is wet and soiled? Thank you in advance. My mother in law said to watch when she drinks and eats. Then about 15 minutes or so later, sit her on the toilet. |

When she wets she knows what itll do but she will still pee in her pants...i dont know what to do either...i have tried bribing with Candy and everything..so your not alone in this potty issue. Best of luck!! |

| Well it's been a long time, but I hear pull ups work great. When I was potty training our boys, I told them I would buy them Superman underwear as soon as they went potty like big boys, It worked! I guess the Superman underwear was really important to them. Our Grandson is a year and a half old now, I wonder if that will work on him. Good luck to you!

| don't worry! both of your children are normal here's what i've learned: 1. only children take longer 2. girls learn faster 3. boys aren't usually potty trained until 3-3 1/2 4. some kids are busy when they need to go and will go on themselves b/c they don't want to get up 5. my son hated his "potty" so i had to get a special seat that fit on the toilet 6. some kids will do one and not the other for a while 7. sometimes they will go really well and then have stages 8. if they are alllllmost potty trained and you have a baby, they may regress as they want to be the baby 9. some children like to sit backwards but i discouraged my son from this as it gets EvERywHEre 10. if you have a boy, put cheerios in the toilet for them to aim at. cheaper than "tinkle targets" 11. accidents are normal even in older children but if it happens consistently when they are around 5 you may want to see a dr. take care! tina |

| I am not in a rush to do it, but I would love to know what to do when she gets ready! I guess we will just figure it out. Any tips on getting rid of a binky(pacifier)? |

| to get rid of a pacifier, i read you can cut off little bits at a time so they have less and less to actually suck. when Raven was getting his teeth in he began to chew it so i threw it out. no problems. |

| Wow, I never thought of cutting bits off! I have tried to go cold turkey, but my husband caves in and gives it to her. I will start to cut bits off and see how it goes! |

| Get her a doll with some panties and let her "teach" the doll how to go potty. Tell her that she has to potty in her pot to show her doll how to do it and then praise, praise, praise the doll for going potty. Also there is a potty elmo, if she likes elmo, that you could use instead and he will drink and go to the potty in his own potty and claps and things. My sister-in-law had a little boy at 4 that still wasn't potty trained and my husband and I saw this on Dr. Phil. We told her about it and she tried it (with an elmo doll before the potty elmo came out) and low and behold in no time he was potty trained!

| i just put her down for her nap, I cut off a little of the binky, like just the tip. She knows it is different, but we will see. I have her down to only using it when she is in bed, or on really long car rides, but grandma got her a dvd set for the car, so maybe she wont want her binky anymore now that she will be entertained! |

| Pullups Savannah pees in them just like regular underwear because really there still a diaper...i quit using them there a waste of money but than again my child is like my dog a PITA hard head so..... Savannah still has the bink also except during the day. she gets it right before she goes to sleep. They say you can take the bink and put it in vinegar for like 10 minutes and than everytime they suck on it(do it to all the binks) theyll get tired of it tasting yucky. I however have not used this technique because its gross tasting! So i guess my child will still be on the bink. Good luck though! |
