We have been inactively working on Kiko’s potty training for the past few months, and I am proud to say that she can go out in big girl underwear during the day without accidents! I think there are two major approaches to potty training; the short term, boot camp style training or long term organic training. We chose the latter. I don’t remember when exactly we started potty training Kiko, but she was trained to poop in the toilet first, and slowly got used to peeing as well. When she first started pooping in the toilet, we gave her a treat – small snack like a candy or cookie. Once she got used to pooping in the toilet, we took away the treat and put her on a toilet every hour for peeing. During this time, she was wearing diapers. We just recently started using big girl underwear when we realized that she can keep her diaper dry the entire day.
It was a slow process but we found it much less painful than going hard in a short period of time! She still wears diapers at night, mostly because I am too lazy to clean up when an accident happens. What is your potty training style?
