Dirty Diapers

wesleycrusher · September 2014

Lots of questions today, but the board is slow anyways.

Does your child tell you when they have a wet or poopy diaper? DD doesn't seem to notice yet at all.

Not wet, but she refuses to poop in her pull ups. She is devastated when she does, and that's only when she has a stomach bug. But she will run around in a pee diaper all day if I let her. (I promise I don't let her!)

Sigh... NOPE. I can tell when he poops, and he couldn't care less iff he stays in his dirty diaper all day long. He HATES having his diaper changed.

Yes and she wants to be changed that very second (both wet and dirty). But the kid refuses to poop in the potty. I don't get it. She'll pee there NBD.

She will tell me when she poops and continue telling me until I get all of the changing stuff ready then willingly lays down for me to change her. And like @CnAnA‌ said she would stay in a wet diaper all day and not care. And again not that I let her or do that to her but she couldn't care less about a wet diaper or pull up. When we were attempting to potty train I did underwear under a pull-up and she would tell me wet if she went but other than that she doesn't care.

Usually tells a poopy diaper but not always.

Us too. 90% of the time - a diaper change is followed or interrupted by a time out. It is awesome.

She tells me after she poops, and sometimes before. Couldn't care less about pee, though.

Wesley will tell me about 50%of the time if he has a caca diaper and the other half I will ask him and he will say no so we are getting close though. Diaper changes are hit or miss with me sometimes he will lay there and let me change him, other times I feel like I am wrestling him to the changing table so that I can clean him up. He doesn't care about wet diapers though. He was doing well potty training at daycare but has since lost intrest so we are waiting and will try again later. He might want to start again after he moves to the two year old room at daycare so we will see.

DS does tell us, he bangs his diaper and says poo or pee. most of the time when he says poo, it's not really a poo but then 5 minutes later he will.

We are going to set up the potty chair this weekend, we have the arm and hammer 3 in 1. This past weekend he pulled off his diaper and peed on the floor. We don't plan on potty training but if he uses the potty chair, yay for us.

I have no interest in trying to potty train him until around 2 1/2 - 3. We have other things I would like to work on, like having him stop biting me when I take away his pacifier or bottle. We are down to 3 bottles a day but I want it down to 1 at night only.

This exactly. In fact, if it wasn't for this board, I would feel a cool six months away from dealing with potty training. Like, the thought wouldn't have even occurred to me. Sometimes I ask DS if he needs a new diaper after I know he's pooped, but he still says no.

R will say "poop" but will go about her day just fine, and is distressed when I grab her for the diaper change. So basically, she knows she pooped, but it doesn't bother her enough that she feels dirty.

We did 2 weeks of no diapers, bare bum potty training at 19 months when she began telling us "go pee", "go poop". I quit with it because she was peeing so frequently (every 30 mins) that we couldn't possibly leave the house. She was doing pretty well... Out of 15-20 pee/poops for the day, she was having 2-3 pee accidents. She clearly was excited about the potty at first, but toward the end of the two weeks, I had to start asking her to go instead of her just running and climbing up on the throne.

LorMor · September 2014

She HATES being changed, so usually says "No" when I ask. Or says "Just a fart". Will sometimes say she's done a poo if she wants us to wake up/get out of bed, but it's always a false alarm.

We're coming into summer now, so will start trying to do some sort of potty training. No idea how to start. We've had a potty for a while, and she's done the occasional wee in it, and a poo once in the toilet.

Sharon&Paul · September 2014

She will tell us before she needs to poop. She will also sit on the potty and play with the tablet, but she will not poop on the potty. After sitting for a while we will put a diaper on and then she will poop and she will ask us to "change diaper". I always wondered if we did not put her back in the diaper what would she do, but I feel she can hold it all day if she wants to. She never tells us about pee.
