Calling all mommies

how old is he? as it’s coming into summer you could let him roam free?

is he showing any indication he’s interested?

my first one was dry day and night in 2 days, my second however took longer. he was dry for about 3 months before he would do the night.

leave the potty around, but if he doesn’t respond then try one of those seats that go on the toilet…

just make a huge fuss when he doesn’t even the tiniest piddle…you know, two seconds in the sun and it would evaporate lol! but I used to give major fuss lol!

what I would say is, if he doesn’t respond immediately, don’t force it. I had a friend who forced her son to sit there until he did something, the little boy was so traumatised by the whole thing. just take your lead from him, when you make a huge fuss then he’ll respond to that.

the key is getting him to assosiate that ‘sensation’ with the potty. it may mean a few accidents, but hey! but I let mine roam free then if he looked like he wanted to go (he’d stand still like a statue) then I’d whoosh the potty under him, then make a huge fuss, and he’ll connect weeing on potty with positive attention.

if he’s under two (give or take a month or two either way) though he’s unlikely to be completely ready yet…girls tend to learn quicker than boys too. but my oldest was 1 year and 11 months and my youngest was 2 years and 4 moths…

oh also, take him to get some BIG BOY pants’ lol! that’s always a good symbolic gesture, and he understand loads at this time so explain to him what you’re going to try. see how he reqacts, but I was like “shall we try some big boy pants like … wears (insert superhereo / dad / uncle someone he loves thats male! that he emmulates)
