Please share the 3-day PT info

We have nothing going on this weekend (which is rare) so I think we might give PT a real shot and see how it goes.

Thanks!

  • i didn't do the official 3-day ---but i did just PT my boy in 3 days.  He hasn't had an accident in 3 days and the first two days were the worst with only 2-3 accidents.

     

    he had been using the potty off and on for awhile.  we picked a 3 day weekend and just put him in undies.  we talked about it A LOT and took him to use the potty pretty frequently (but not every hour - he used to keep diapers dry for hours at a time).   huge praise every time he went.  Our stuffed animals have also been using the potty :)

  • Sure!

    If I don't get a response now I will RP this later today.

    How are you???  How are things in your world?

  • Someone posted the whole article a long time ago - I was lurking and copied it to my home laptop.  When I get home tonight I'll look for it.   I'm going to do it in November - taking a week off from work.  Can't wait to hear how it goes for you!

  • Thanks Joy!  I would really appreciate that.
  • I didn't do the official 3 day PT method, but I did it in three days.  Basically, I just went "cold turkey".  I put DD in panties and told her we were going to use the potty.  I took her about every hour just to try.  When she went on the potty, she got a "treat" (M&Ms) and two stickers (one for her sticker chart and one for herself).  When she had an accident, I didn't make too much of a big deal about it.  We cleaned it up and she sat on the potty just in case she wasn't done.  Anyway, the first day was pretty rough with probably 5-6 accidents (and 5-6 successes in the potty.  The second day we only had 2 accidents.  And by day three, we only had one and only b/c she had a friend over and I was too distracted to take her and/or remind her.  After that, she was basically PT and rarely had accidents.  Took longer for naps and at night, but other than that. 

    I'm actually thinking of doing DD#2 in two weeks when I have a free weekend.  She's been wanting to for a while and I hate to miss it, though I had planned on waiting at least until Christmas and maybe until next summer (since DS should be coming right around her second birthday).  Worth a try.

  • I will be deleting my post above around 11 am.  Copy it now if you need it!
