How I Toilet Train My Toddler? — Part 2
Now that the girls are ready for poo-poo training, I am more ready to go for pee-pee training.
By the time they reached 1 year plus and started to walk, i would always bring them to potty to pee, every 30-45 minutes or so.
If they don’t pee, it was always ok, and if they don’t pee and pee on the nappy only after they were just out from the potty, it was always ok too.
Eventually when I noticed that they would try to walk to potty to pee themselves when they have the urge to pee, i would change them to pant, not training pants, but just normal pant, coz this will help them to pull down their pants easily to pee.
It’s so cute to see them puling down pants. At first the timing is out — they pull the pant but pee-pee already overflow, but it was already a great attempt! Bravo!
Then, they learnt to pull down their pants and sit on potty to pee.
Once day time pee-pee training is done, this is consider as day time diaper off, except for night time.
Night time toilet train is as easy too. Usually by the time they reach about 2 years old, they would know how to mumble words to show that they were comfortable with the cloth diapers or not. If not, I would also help them to walk through this process. As usual, i would still empty the bowel before putting on the diapers, but to add on to that, i would adventurously take off one insert, and left with only 1 insert. About 1-2 hours after the girl fell asleep, i would say in her ears ” Mummy is going to pee you ya.” And slowly pull down her pyjamas and brought her to the potty which was just beside the bed. For the first few nights she may crying, but after that she will settle into that routine. With that pee which is going to empty her bowel again, she can last for the whole night already.
But since she was already used to peeing in the early morning, she would do that when she opened her eyes.
And that’s how the whole process of toilet training of my toddler.
