Advice from full time working moms
on potty traing.
How did you do it?
DD does not go to day care she is either home with daddy or my parents. I'm thinking of just going cold turkey since she really does not want to go on the toilet we ask her all the time she says no. But not sure I can take all the mess if we just put her in underwear I don't want her peeing all over the rug, coach, beds ect..

Re: Advice from full time working moms
In my case we tried the whole do you want to go on the potty thing and it did not work. For DD we left the potty in the room and did not mention it and then one day she said pee pee potty and she has been going on it everyday since. She does a lot better at home than at daycare. We put her in panties and she is good. In the beginning we would give her a jelly belly for going pee pee on the potty. We also started a sticker chart and when she filled a row she got a little prize and once the chart was full she got a toy. I think your DD will let you know when she is ready. Good luck
We read some fun potty books and watched Elmo's potty video. She was 2 1/2 and we taught her on our summer break on the beach. We used the timer to sit her on the potty every 20 minutes. It was fun and we used rewards. As long as you have a few days in a row and keep putting her on the potty (we let her use the potty in different rooms in the house, not just the bathroom), she'll learn. DD had very little mess.
It also helps when they are ready.
And she was a heavy sleeper so she wore a pull-up for naps and overnight for 6 months. She regressed and asked for pull-ups for poop for 2 months. I said okay. It passed without issue.
