5 days and potty trained

Being on lock down the wife and I decided to try and potty train our almost 2 year old daughter. Went with the naked method nothing on the bottom. Except for diapers at nap and bedtime. At the end of day 1 (lots of messes and 1 successful potty) we were strongly considering waiving a white flag and going back to diapers. Sure enough though, each day had little victories. Day 2 still lots of messes but 3 successful potties... no poop still. Day 3 mostly in the potty and only a couple messes but first poop in the potty. Day 4 was the turning point (we introduced chocolate as a reward) no accidents. Day 5 tried big girl underwear and no accidents. It’s so crazy to me we just did this in a week but it’s so doable! I highly encourage if your on the fence give it a try and don’t quit after day 1.. it’s hell but keep trying!Being that we are quarantined we were hyper vigilant and that helped.Things I felt were what made it a success-Have lots of paper towels to clean up accidents. We were patient and if she had an accident we didn’t make her feel bad but would say oh no and point out the pee so she could start making connections.The first few days were all about helping her connect her bodies actions to what was happening.Crazy hyper celebrations whenever she was successful.. potty dance... celebrating flushing ... stickers... eventually “the chocolate”Really being on top of it - potty breaks every 20 or so min lots of checking in.Having her watch as she peed and make the connection was big.Being patient with the poops - I guess it’s a weird thing to transition to pooping in the potty. Sometimes had to hold her hands tell her it was ok.More dancing and celebrations every time and bam!! via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3aojC9l
