Well I tried undies at naptime-Roxbride

LIAngel · April 2012

Like you suggested.

And of course he peed and pooped in his crib. Guess I'll be going to buy a waterproof mattress cover today.

Should we go back to PullUps for naps or just deal with it? Of course he didn't nap cause he was wet- but didn't the least bit bothered by it. On the bright side, at least he didn't take the messy underwear off and make an even bigger mess in his crib.

When you started this process, did Nicholas show any signs of readiness? Just curious because I let Graeme pick out some undies today but am really torn if I should try now or wait until he's gotten use to the babies (once they arrive) so he doesn't regress.

What about training unders? We love both Super Skivvies and Blueberry. Both are cloth so they feel wet but the Blueberry in particular would offer some protection to the mattress.

Also, we went with chux pads and not a mattress pad. Either way though it's a good safety net to have.

I think it was bold to try undies during naps during the first week. 3 months in, Jacob is dry nearly all his naps, but the first few weeks, he was wet every time.

I think Nicholas just needs to get into a groove with peeing on the potty. I don't have experience with a kid sitting on the potty and not peeing. Jacob would pee - even if it was a little bit - everytime he sits down.

And 3 months in, Jacob is just now telling us that he has to go on his own. Before that, I just needed to anticipate when he would need to go.

Its really promising that Nicholas is going hours and hours without accidents. Its a long process - even a couple of weeks - before you really get to say that he's "potty trained."

I tried undies because to me it seemed like he was holding it in for hours and hours and then when I put the Pull Up on him for naps, he would wake up wet. It was almost as if he was thinking "I'll just wait til Mommy puts my Pull Up on". I figured the wetness would make him uncomfortable, but he didn't care (typical boy).

This potty training is probably the hardest thing I've done. Even harder than Ferber-ing him as an infant.

What's a chux pad? Is it better than a mattress pad?

And are these the Blueberrys you're talking about?

Those are them - we have four and wash pretty often. Or did in the beginning. Chux pads are those things they put under you at the hospital. They are soft and like four foot square. Backed in plasticlike stuff. We had some from BIL who had a bad accident but you can get then at medical supply stores. I same last night on TV that good nights makes something similar now.

Yes he did seem ready. I would wait until Graeme gets used to the babies before you train him. I thought about training Nicholas last summer when he was a little over 2, but then decided against it cause Ava was a newborn and I just didn't have the desire to deal with the hardwork (and I'm lazy).

Okay so do you put the Chux pad on under the sheet I assume?

DD sleeps really calmly so no, we put her on the pad. We also tend to throw them under her on the couch.

Um yeah that wouldn't work with Nicholas. I know him- he'd say "Take it away" or He'd just throw the chux pad out himself. He got pissed off when I put a pad under him in his car seat the other day.

I'd get him a toddler bed and put a little potty in his room and keep with the undies.

Personally I am a big fan of pull ups for naps and bedtime. Unfortunately, Garrison has decided this week that she WILL NOT wear "sleeping panties" to bed because she is a "big girl" and needs her "big girl panties" .....or in last night's case, a bathing suit bottom....

And two mornings in a row she has woken up before 7:30 because she ended up wetting the bed. Usually she can make it but she has not been napping so she is sleeping more soundly and for longer which makes for a bad combination.

My mil never uses pull ups and never has an issue with nap time and only occassionally when G has spent the night but....I just feel like a good nights sleep (for all of us) is more important than teaching her to hold her bladder for 11 + hours that she is in bed. If she is awake and needs to go, she will get up and use the potty that is in her room but once she is in a sound sleep, she won't and I get that, she's not even 3.

Plus if she was still in a crib (and couldn't go pee on her own) I would definitely not put her in panties, it just makes no sense to me....it isn't teaching them to go when they need to go. It's teaching them to hold it (if physically and emotionally possible, which let's face it, who can answer that) or to pee on themselves. I feel like it's a set up until they are in a big bed.
