We have been trying to train our daughter for a year. She just won’t go unless she has a pull up on. Being a long weekend, I was determined to give up the pull ups all together and let her pee on the floor and train her this weekend. We started the morning by taking her pull off up (wet) and sat her on the potty,.she sat and pretended to push, sat there and we waited…nothing. she said she was done and she wiped, flushed, washed her hands and I gave her 1 M&M and told her nice try.

I did this every 1/2 hour – She never peed yesterday from 7:30 am until THIS MORNING at 7:15 am when I put a pull up on her. Thats 24 hours!! HOW CAN THAT EVEN BE POSSIBLE??!!??!!

IN MY MIND, it seems like the only time she thinks she is allowed to pee or poop is when she has these damn pull ups on…and if she doesn’t have one on, she just doesn’t go!

I had her in underwear all day yesterday and took her on the potty every 1/2 hr. Fed her popsicles, water, juice, & milk and gave her 1 m & m everytime she sat on the potty. When it was naptime, I layed down with her, she had underwear on…I thought for sure she would pee in bed, which was fine, I was willing to strip the sheets, whatever…just as long as she peed.

Well she didn’t pee when she slept. (amazing!) then all evening the same thing, finally it was bed time….I was going to put a pull up on her, but figured I came this far, I might as well stick with the panties. I was up almost every hour last night, checking to see if she peed….unbelievably, she didn’t!!

She woke up dry this morning and I put her on the potty right away…i mean, at this point i knew she had to go. She sat on the potty, but nothing…so I’m like, ok, what do I do know?! I took a pull up and cut a hole in it, thinking I would sit her on the potty and she would pee thru the hole in the pull up. I put the pull up on her, walked to the kitchen and by the time I came back, she had peed on the floor.

Ok, so I said yeah, you peed, next time let’s do it on the potty. cut another hole in the next pull up and within 10 minutes she peed on the floor again…ok, yeah, you peed, next time lets go on the potty. What do I do now? back to pull-ups? back to her holding it for 24 hrs (which I know is NOT healthy)…I am at my wits end, my boys were potty trained at 2.

I have read every book and article on potty training. I tried the videos, dolls, stickers, books, etc. I am desperate and discouraged.
Again, I am trying to ditch the pull ups, but how can I when she holds it for 24 hours??? Can’t she get a bladder or kidney infection to hold her urine for that long? I mean, 24 hours (even thru sleeping) in cloth underwear and still she’s holding it!

What worked for my daughter was keeping her naked. We hid all the pull-ups and said they didn’t make them anymore and that she would have to go on the toilet. She panicked, cried, screamed but eventually gave-in, sat on the toilet and went #1 and #2 and after one good day of this and about another day and a half of encouraging it, she was potty trained. We did use pull-ups at night for about another 2 weeks and then she was completely potty trained.

Ask the pediatrician about her holding it for so long but if she learns you are not going to put a pull-up on her, she’s eventually going to have to go and can’t hold it anymore. Give her cranberry juice with water and a ton of it.

Four potty training apps in one! I Love Potty Training is the ultimate potty app for you and your child.

From interactive eBooks for boys & girls to tracking tools and rewards to tips and advice, this app has everything you need for successful potty training. It even emails you a diploma when training is complete!

What you’ll find in this app:

I LOVE POTTY TRAINING INTERACTIVE EBOOK (Boy’s & Girl’s Versions)
POTTY TRACKER & GREAT JOB REWARD BUTTON
POTTY DROP GAME
POTTY TRAINING TIPS & ADVICE
AUTO EMAIL DIPLOMA
ENGLISH & SPANISH BOOK VERSIONS

I LOVE POTTY TRAINING INTERACTIVE EBOOK:
(one for boys, one for girls)

Joy Berry’s bestselling potty training books are now interactive eBooks to help your child learn to use the potty and lessen fears around it. The books are narrated by children and feature fully animated and interactive scenes showcasing the potty and how to handle using it. Each book features a main character and a cute kitten or puppy mascot that speaks when touched.

POTTY TRACKER & GREAT JOB REWARD BUTTON:
The daily potty tracking tool allows you to track and view your child’s progress as he or she learns to master the potty. Start by entering the day/date you begin potty training, then drag and drop a sticker each time your child uses the potty. Choose “pee” or “poop” respectively. Save results and view them by day, week, total, and average per day.

Access the Great Job button from the tracker or main menu. You child will love to press the button and hear their doing a “Great Job” (with applause).

POTTY DROP GAME:
OOPS! That doesn’t go in the potty! Have loads of fun teaching your toddler what can and cannot go into the toilet with Potty Drop.

How To Play:
Objects fall from above and players must catch only what belongs in the potty. Watch the “green/good” meter go up as toilet paper drops successfully into the potty, and watch it go down as other objects such as hamburgers and tricycles drop in by mistake. WATCH OUT! Too many “bad” objects and the potty will overflow!


Tilt your iPhone side to side to slide the potty back and forth at the bottom of the screen. When the green/good meter is full, you WIN.

TIPS & ADVICE:
The advice section in this app is based on Joy Berry’s bestselling potty training books and kits. In the books you’ll find everything from getting started to safety around the potty.

EMAIL DIPLOMA:
When potty training is complete (typically when diapers are no longer needed or the child goes consistently in the potty), simply press: “We’re Done, SEND DIPLOMA” on the tracking screen. This will prompt you to enter information so the Potty Training Diploma can be E-mailed to you. Print it out and display it proudly! Please note, you’ll need an Internet connection and have mail configured on your device.

ENGLISH & SPANISH VERSIONS OF EBOOK
The Joy Berry brand of books is dedicated to diversity and the delivery of media in many formats and languages. In this app you’ll find the interactive eBook is available for both boys and girls, in English and Spanish.

Additional Details
Again, I am trying to ditch the pull ups, but how can I when she holds it for 24 hours??? Can’t she get a bladder or kidney infection to hold her urine for that long? I mean, 24 hours (even thru sleeping) in cloth underwear and still she’s holding it!

I read this and answered this just a moment ago. However, I don’t think you mentioned she was developmentally delayed before. Maybe she’s just not ready to be potty trained yet. You might need to stop trying to potty train for a week or more and then re-introduce it again. She could be scared of it right now and trying to potty train her at this moment is going to get you nowhere. You should talk to her educators, therapists, etc., about the best techniques they have used and if they think she is ready.

Need some advice on potty training my 4 yr old daughter!

We have been trying to train our daughter for a year. She just won’t go unless she has a pull up on. Being a long weekend, I was determined to give up the pull ups all together and let her pee on the floor and train her this weekend. We started the morning by taking her pull off up (wet) and sat her on the potty,.she sat and pretended to push, sat there and we waited…nothing. she said she was done and she wiped, flushed, washed her hands and I gave her 1 M&M and told her nice try.

how is she peeing on the floor–stay with her and prompt her to sit down..

maybe find a better reward–does she highly desire M&M’s or does she have other things she gets more excited for?

i get a lot of items at a dollar store..mini fans that light up, things that make sound, mini vibrators

one little girl loved cold things against her face–so we froze web dishing washing towels and gave her one to touch to her face

4-5 is not unusual for kids with special needs

and at least she is peeing with the hole….once she is successful–keep making it bigger

My daughter turned 2 in April, and so I have decided to start potty training her. I had originally bought her a potty when she expressed interest in learning to potty train when she was about 15 months old. She used it about 3 times, and then never did again. I have bought her princess Pull Ups and have bought her real big girl panties, but nothing seems to be working. I have a potty chart with stickers, and she loves stickers, but shows no interest in the chart, or getting a sticker on it. I have now bought her a surprise for after she uses the potty 5 times, and told her she has a surprise, my question is, 1. what else can I try to encourage her, because I really need some more tips and 2. should I show her the surprise or is that just torture, or will it help her? Thanks!!!

Try taking her every hour like on the dot. If she does go make a HUGE deal of it. Sing dance whatever. Then give her a sticker. However I would not show her the toy yet that may open a can of worms.
She is just 2 so be patient she will get it.
