Good luck!!!

@@sabinabirnie3761 now that I have had both I can say boys trained before 2 are about the same difficulty as girls! I really do believe it gets harder the longer you wait! I’ve trained all of mine now (oldest to youngest) 24 months, 16 months, 19 months, and 19 months (my son last)

Thank you!

You can do it girl! I’d dial back the gym a lot and go easy and really focus on consuming less calories and increasing steps! When I did all this I made it the main focus of my life so a lot of balls were dropped in other areas. It’s nearly impossible to find a “balance” in life, we just have to focus on different things at different times to get it all done. Sending hugs 🩷

@@missmac6767 thanks so much!!! lol I knew I couldn’t be the only one out there believing I had a thyroid problem when I did not haha

@@peace-luv533 you too! We are all just doing the best with what we have available! ❤️

Is she wearing undies/pants when you are doing this? Also how old is she? It sounds like she may not be quite ready yet and could benefit from a 6 week ish break, which is totally fine.

@@megandelli1 nope. We don't have the luxury of a washer and dryer at home nor enough undies to go through a whole day of accidents so she's got nothing on like what was suggested in the video. She is 14 months

@@ShapeShifterKibayo ok 14 months is suuuuuuuuuper little. Some of my opinions have changed, so please forgive me for some of what I said if it is different than what I am saying now, but I only had 2 kids in this video and now I have 4! I tried potty training my son at 15 months and it was completely not working and pretty much went as you said it was going with your daughter. I would wait until closer to 18 months when they have greater understanding of what is going on. My son is 18 months old now and I am going to be training him very shortly and he is much more willing to do what I am telling him to do and he was definitely just not ready at 15 months. Of course I don’t really believe in a child being “ready “ in the emotional sense, what I am meaning by that is developmentally ready. A 14 month old is likely not developmentally ready. Other countries do like gradually train them and just get rid of the diapers all together but in the western lifestyle we live in and the sanitation we expect it just isn’t feasible to do that really!

@@megandelli1 awesome. Thank you. I think I will try to keep doing it but staggered so that it slowly becomes the norm for her as she is able to comprehend more. Rinse and repeat right? Thank you for taking the time to help me to the best of your abilities. I really appreciate it! Sending lots of love and I pray you have success with potty training your next baby. 🥰

I’m right there with you, this video was about my 2nd but my 4th is 17 months old now but my first boy, so I am working up the nerve to train him and hoping he is as easy to train as my girls 🙏 I’ve heard boys are harder though lol so we’ll see!

Thanks so much for watching and good luck!! And I HIGHLY recommend removing the rug, it will 100% absolutely get pee or poop on it, no question about it.

@@anitadiener2307 thank you!!! ❤️ and thanks for watching!

Sorry! You’re right it is distracting. I definitely want to redo this video one day because I have potty trained more children now and I was pregnant in this video and the heavy breathing drives me insane 🥲

It’s a huge accomplishment! Even adults have accidents lol

I read somewhere that until 10 or 20 years ago, kids were trained as soon as they could walk. I remember slipping into a public toilet at a restaurant when I was really little. I leaned back too much and slipped through the hole. My shirt got wet. I was walking out with my wet shirt in the back and felt like people were looking at me and I just announced to them that I fell right in and chuckled. I'm pretty sure I was about 1.5 to 2 because my parents got divorced when I turned 2 and we no longer could afford to eat at restaurants. I'm 48 so this was in the late 70s. The whole not train them until 2 thing in the West is because all the moms work and kids are in daycares. A lot of daycares do potty training from 2 to 3 (idiotic since they also behave worse and the ratios are more kids).

My 10 month old ja going to be trained before 12 month she tells me when she needs to go

Update: I spoke to my pediatrician about it and she advised me not to potty train until 2.5-3 years old. I was shocked. She said they usually regress and have a harder time if you do it too early and it wasn't a good idea. Idk what or who to believe. Everyone is telling me something different.

@@brandeegray7159it’s more about your child but I think you should listen to your pediatrician. This is the professional who you chose and trust to care for your child vs random internet folk!

Then why are you watching this video. This is for people looking for advice. Everybody is entitled to their opinion. If you don't agree then just don't watch. It's simple

Hi! I do not teach that until much later. One of my children has been potty trained for about a year now and she still doesn’t take off the pants herself. I do a method where there are no pants or underwear until pottying is learned. In my opinion adding all that makes it too complicated and they don’t want to do it. They will probably need help using the restroom for a long time, until probably 3.5 at least in my experience. Other people may do it differently though!

That’s awesome! Just keep it up and know there will be setbacks but if you keep going the skills will be retained! There are even setbacks 2-3 years down the line, but it is totally normal and doesn’t mean they weren’t fully trained, they are just relearning how long they can hold it as they get older!

When I was growing up, the standard was to train when kids could walk. It was even that standard when I started babysitting in the 90s. Now all the kids are in daycares so it has changed.

@@analyticalchick3064 all of the kids in my family even the younger generation are potty trained by 2. I would say we typically start potty training them by 18 months. With my son I started at 11 months because he was giving cues that he was ready already since he wasn’t one and just learning to walk everybody tried to tell me it was too soon. He’s 16 months now and he has a potty that goes over ours with stairs for him to get up there himself. He loves it and has been doing a great job of using it. So although I was a bit nervous since he wasn’t even one yet I’m glad I listened to my instincts. I believe he’ll be fully potty trained by 18 months instead of starting around then.

Awesome! Good luck! And yes it can be done if you have in your mind that you can do it! Can’t remember if I mentioned it in the video, but they are looking to us as the parent to guide them so if you are confident, they will follow that!

Only the common areas 🤣 the sink was full of dishes, my island was cluttered, and all bedrooms were messy. I’ll show the whole picture in a different video since no one believed me lol

I only showed the common areas! The rooms were very messy and the kitchen was full of dirty dishes! ❤️ It does give the vibe of clean though which is what I was going for haha

😂 thank you! But these are just the common areas! The rooms themselves are not clean!

All you have to do is put a lot of the stuff somewhere else. My kids rooms and my bedroom are not somewhere that is tidy every single day. My kids do clean the living room though (since it’s always their stuff) and a lot of the time I have them just fill up a laundry basket and haul it to their room.

In my experience, after about 2 weeks it is pretty engrained in them on when they need to use the bathroom. If she is able to communicate clearly and the people who work the daycare are willing to listen to your child and take her when she says she needs to go it will probably work out well.

@@megandelli1 thank you! That may be the catch, I'm not sure how they take the little ones to the bathroom with staffing. It will be my first and a learning experience for me.

In that situation I would just take a few days to solely devote to potty training and catch him every single time you see him peeing. It's ok if you miss a few but if you are super consistent he will probably get the hang of it and start going in the potty. If possible, try to get dad involved. Boys are much more likely to be willing to imitate their dads going to the bathroom than their moms. (I know it's hard. For me I don't know if it would be possible personally but I have heard and read that it helps people who are stuck where their sons are willingly refusing the potty.) Good luck to you!

Yes, this can work if it is a nap time for them and you know for sure they will fall asleep, or you just aren’t going to be gone that long, or they don’t have to pee/poop that often. It is kind of a risk you take but it’s not impossible. It usually takes about 3 days so in the situation you had to go somewhere I’d make the first day be a Saturday so by the time you are going somewhere it is not the very beginning.

Thanks for watching! I would personally not put a diaper on until they have shown that they consistently will poop in the potty. Very often they are able to hold it in for a few days so you want to make sure that they aren’t just waiting until they get a diaper on to go poop (same goes for underwear as they can cause the same problem). But once you’ve seen them poop on the potty about 3-4 times they will probably be just fine with a diaper. I don’t typically use diapers in public anymore at that point (just finished potty training my 19 month old so I may be doing things *slightly* different than what I did in this video, which was about my 2nd child. I usually would use training underwear which have a little bit of a plastic lining in them like diapers except it lets them know that they are wet and it’s uncomfortable. If you’re going somewhere that it would be really bad if pee got through, I’d opt for the diaper but if you’re just going to a park or something the underwear would be a better bet. At the beginning because they’re so young, they really can’t push down their underwear and shorts or even go to the potty independently for at least a few months (in my experience anyway even when I potty trained my oldest who was 2 at the time) but it seems like something they pick up on their own after a while. I hope this helps!

Thank you so much for your reply! I have a really good idea how to get started now! I am planning to put diapers on my daughter for nap and bedtime in the beginning. Or do you suggest the training pants for nap/ bedtime too? Did you have to do any separate nighttime training? Or they just learned how to stay dry at night from the overall training?

@@lesleybrice8203 so the first day I would definitely use a diaper because if they are holding in their poop on the first day because they’re afraid to use the potty, they may end up pooping in their sleep. For me personally, I put all of my children to bed in underwear on the first day and then after they fell asleep I would switch it to a diaper. Every time I have started potty training though, they were all waking up with a dry diaper every time so they were just night trained from the start. Of course you can just do things however you want, but putting the diaper on when they are aware of it might cause them to think they can just hold it in until bedtime and then let it all out in their diaper

@@megandelli1 thank you very much for the time to reply and your tips! I went to ikea today so I am all stocked up on potties and ready to start next weekend! Thanks again for making such a great video ❤️

I would wait too if it is becoming a problem. You definitely don’t want to force it because turning it into a bad experience will make it nearly impossible. My kids never really threw tantrums or refused to reason with me, I’m not sure why but I think it may be that they are all girls and girls just don’t tend to have as much anger as boys can have at times. I hope it goes well for you! I am currently potty training my third and I am hoping it goes as smoothly as it did when I did my second. But, that being said every kid is different and some kids just aren’t willing or ready and that is ok!

@@joeydelgaudou2681 I've not heard of that. What's that?

Thanks so much! I have never tried infant potty training before but it is so true that bad experiences can derail a lot of hard work 😵‍💫

On amazon you can find a foldable potty seat and they sell these huge covers that cover the entire toilet that are disposable. Usually the ones in the bathroom only cover the seat but these cover the seat and the entire base so no part of their body touches the toilet

I keep mine potty in my car when we are in public
