Potty Training

How do you start PT with just #2?

We started trying to PT my 2.5 year old DD yesterday and by the end of today I'm pretty sure we screwed it up big time.  I think we made it into a huge deal and put too much pressure on her, now she is totally opposed to going to the potty.

I was reading an older post on here where someone's pedi said more parents have success if they start with just poop.  How do you start PTing with just poop?  Are you trying to PT while they are still in a diaper/pull up?  I thought to PT you had to put LO in underwear all the time.  I feel so confused and lost about this whole thing!

Re: How do you start PT with just #2?

  • When DS1 was in diapers full time but refused to wear them (that was fun) I had him running around naked for short periods of time before I would fight him to get the diaper on. One day he needed to poop and instead of fighting him to put the diaper on, I waited for him to start going and sat him on his potty. He was very upset that his potty became dirty but after a lot of cheering he seemed ok with it. We started PT a few weeks later.
