Hi. I've read through all of your comments and replies to questions on regression however could not find an answer to my question. I have a 25 month old daughter who came to me about a month and a half ago stating she had to go potty. I put her on the potty and she did it. I was so excited and decided she was ready and started with training pants the next day. She did beautifully for the first month only having one or two accidents a week, except at night of course. All of the sudden the accident numbers were increasing to now she doesn't want anything to do with the potty and does not even tell me when she's had an accident. I sit her on the potty hourly and she only goes about 35% of the time - the rest of the time she goes in her pants. After washing much laundry, I've decided to put her back in pull-ups but they are much more expensive than diapers. Did I start to early with her? Is she just not ready...and do I put her back in diapers for a little while until she shows interest again or will that cause too much confusion to her?? Please help!!! |

Gina,
I think kids get excited sometimes before they are really ready. We follow their lead and start training, and then they learn how much work is involved.
I'll bet your daughter just isn't quite ready. If she were in my house I'd put her back in the pull-ups and take a break.
Only reason why I say this is because when my son was just over two he showed a great deal of interest. However we were preparing for a move and I was afraid it would be too much change for him. So, we waited. Just before he turned three we cranked up the training. I was amazed at how easy it was. He was ready, willing, and focused.
I wish you the same luck with your little one.

My Daughter is 25 months old. Since about 18 months she has been showing interest in using the potty. She has an older brother and wants to do everything he does. She would sit on her potty whenever she wanted, but I never pushed it. Last weekend we went on a trip and she used the potty 8 times, and asked to go many more times. I got excited and got the training pants, doll, etc. She understands what we want her to do, teaches the doll and asks to go, but she now only goes in her training pants. I think I started too soon and put her back in diapers. Was this the right move? My son was not completely trained untill age 4 (we started at 2 and 1/2...he was nervous and wanted nothing of it). I do not want to go through that again. With two my patience and time is limited. Help! |
