Potty-training tips

[Nuna]

ako, sinimulan ko muna na hindi sya lagyan ng diaper sa morning. kahit sandali lang, para ma-feel nya lang at masanay sya sa feeling na walang diaper. para din (sa tawag ng mga matatanda) makahinga yung pwet nya kasi kulob na kulob sa diapers. also, pinapaupo ko sya sa potty. para masanay din lang or mafamiliarize.

tapos gumawa ako ng potty chart. she puts a sticker sa chart nya everytime na successful sya magpoop or weewee sa toilet. pag na reach nya yun box na may words na "great job" i give her a reward. very effective sa baby ko. ilang araw lang, di na sya talaga nagddiaper sa daytime.

here's the potty chart i made for her.

Mga sis, ilang months si baby bago nyo turuan mag-potty training?

[younis]

mga mommies, anong marerecommend nyong ok na training pants for my daughter? i'm starting to potty train her, but for times when she's sleeping, I want a pants-type of diaper sana... any raves?

my 2nd child exactly after her 2nd bday..kinabukasan ayaw na na magdiaper.di ko pa naman plan na ipotty train sya pero..biglaan sya mag isa. kahit kami nagulat kasi tinatannggal nya diaper nya siguro kase nasisikipan siya.. akala ko chamba pero nung nilagyan ko sya diaper nung gabi empty sa morning.tapos sabi nya wiwi daw sya.
nakakatuwa kasi magkakababy na kami ulit parang kusang nakisama yun anak ko para malessen ang gastos namin.

siguro nakatulong talaga na nakikita nya kami ng ate nya na nagpoop or wiwi..sinasabi namin ano ginagawa namin...saka siguro kasi maaga sya natuto magsalita..kaya she can say popo or wiwi...

ngayon may term pa siya...sasabihin nya popo...bilis bilis

iba iba pala ang kids yung eldest ko kasi 3 na yata bago kami naging diaper free...

gusto ko na rin tanggalin yung diapers at night. i was expecting magigising sya kapag nabasa from his wiwi. pero hindi. ang himbing pa rin matulog. sabi ko after ilang wiwi, maiinis rin sya at matututong magpigil dahil nakakainis magising sa gabi na basa. kaso hindi sya nagigising sa basa. pano bang gagawin dun? which makes it even harder now na tag-ulan na. mas maganda sana kung summer pa rin para ituloy ang potty training para hindi sila ginawin kapag nababad sa wiwi.

[grumpybear]

tiggerlily, with my son, we used to get him up a few times at night. Nung umpisa mga 3x/night, then we slowly dropped one after  another hanggang he learned to wake up by himself to go potty.

[tiggerlily]

^Thanks sis. Yan na nga ang ginagawa ko. To carry him to the bathroom every 2-3 hours. ayos lang naman kasi sa gabi ako nagwowork. no problem sa paggising. problem lang kapag wala akong work. basa kaming lahat. hehe! nakakaawa nga lang kasi sesenglot senglot pagdating sa banyo.

dati naman marunong na sya magwiwi sa banyo. pero ngayon kahit saan sya nagwiwiwi. sa bed nya, sa bed namin. sa carpet. kahit saan. naiinis na ako. pero napansin ko ginagawa nya yun everytime na hindi sya napapansin. kaya kung minsan, iniiwan ko na lang ang work ko e para maharap ko sya. kaso nga lang, wala akong nagagawa.

ask ko lang sa mga nag start mag potty train. brief or panty lang ba ang pinasusuot niyo sa mga babies niyo? o trainining pants (tama ba term)? hirap ko i-potty train anak ko kasi ayaw niya ng walang diaper, as in nagagalit siya at umiiyak pag di namin pinasusuot. soplan ko bumili ng brief para yun isuot niya or cloth diaper para parang diaper pa rin pero ramdam niya na wet siya.

nagsasabi lang siya ng "wash" pag nagpupu na siya or nagwiwi. pag nakita namin na umiire, dinadala agad namin sa CR pero di natutuloy, nabibitin siya.

[mishmish]

^ I let my baby wear pajamas, hmmm yung medyo manipis lang para hindi din mainit especially in this summer heat. And reason ko is para kung sakaling may accidents, di gaanong messy ang floor kasi na-absorb na ng pajamas/cloth ang basa

I started potty-training my daughter like 2 months before her 2nd birthday, pero hindi ako consistent kasi nahihirapan ako  Pero 2 weeks after her 2nd birthday ayan marunong na siya. Right now at 2.3 y/o masasabi kong 98% pasado na siya 

[sheenaQ]

hi mga mommies! pahelp naman,can you call a child 'potty trained' even if he can't clean himself pa afterwards? like especially after he pooped? he is 6yrs old, and his teacher scheduled an appointment for me to meet her,I think she wanted to talk about my son's toilet issues..
there was an incident na my son came home(from school) with poop on his briefs,I asked him about it,he said 'teacher said we can't go to the CR if we are doing some seatwork' WTH??
though my instances din siya na in the nick of time bago pumunta ng CR to poop! and ayun nga minsan he ends up with poop na in his briefs!! kaya din kahit andito na lang sa house,ganun nangyayari...nakaka frustrate! eh ang lakas pa naman niya kumain(im not complaining) so minsan talaga 2-3x siya mag poop in a day..w/c I believe normal lang naman since he's just a boy na malakas lang talaga kumain...

I always tell him/remind him na don't do it again...nakakastress..I don't know what to do..it's only half of the problem,the other one naman is 'how to teach him to clean himself after he poops' with using tissue and/or wet wipes..especially if he is at school..kaya ngayon dependent pa siya with his teacher to clean him...I am being patient about this kasi he is just starting out with it,but parang I think his teacher/s are not...

[sarahsensible]

with all of my toddlers

Twins - 4yrs old (hindi na toddler pala)
Bunso - 3 yrs old

I started na hindi na talaga sila naka diaper. Messy pero all worth it kasi natuto talaga sila.. Tyaga namin ng yaya, pag na wiwi we explain na dapat sa CR..hanggang nasanay na. Marunong na rin mag flush ng toilet, then wash ng hands after.

Tyaga lang talaga

Sis Nuna, nice yung potty chart na ginawa mo. Ako rin, napotty train ko kagad yung son ko at 2 and a half because I gave him stickers every time he successfully told me that he's going to pee or poop and then went at the potty or the bathroom. Yung sticker na yung reward niya, tuwang-tuwa naman siya.

Actually, tagal ko ring pinostpone na i-potty train siya. Nung una, both hubby and I were working kasi and nag-aalaga lang sa son ko yung mom and dad ko, who also have a business. Then when I resigned and started working full-time at home, busing-busy din ako with work and taking care of my son kaya di ko pa nastart yung potty training. Nagstart lang ako nung napressure ako sa kapatid and cousins ko na puro potty-trained na mga anak... though sila kasi may yaya, ako wala.

But I got the sticker idea from my cousin, and triny ko kagad. We bought some cartolina and put a sticker board in the bathroom, and bought a box of car stickers. My son really loves car stickers kasi. Medyo stressful nung first few days kasi maraming accidents - ginawa ko kasi is I immediately stopped putting diapers on him, and reminded him to tell me when he wants to pee or poop. So first few days madalas ang accidents, and mop ako ng mop. Pag off ni hubby, siya taga-mop, hehe.

But I was surprised that he quickly learned what he needed to do. In just one week, halos wala ng accidents and di ko na siya dinadiaper in the day, pag night time sleep na lang. He really enjoys earning stickers when he pees on the potty or the bathroom. He's so proud of himself.

I was really surprised na di pala ganun kahirap once nung nagtiyaga talaga ako. Yung first few days lang mahirap kasi nga wala ng diaper and mop ng mop. But I'm glad I did it because he quickly got potty trained. Next time tatry ko na when we go out not to put diaper...

[happiemommie]

my daughter is 2.5yo now. wala na kami problem pag pee at poop kapag araw. ang concern ko is bed-wetting, kasi super ayaw na nya mag-diaper kahit sa gabi. di naman pwede samin yung gigisingin ko sya para mag-pee dahil sobrang nagwawala pag na-istorbo ang tulog. so madalas, gigising ako around 12, nakaihi na sya nun sa kama.. (naglagay na lang kami ng pang-protect sa mattress) may times pa na twice pa sya nag-pee overnight, so i have to check pag nagigising ako. kaya lang pag napasarap na yung tulog ko, hindi ko na alam how long na ba sya nakababad sa wiwi nya..

kau mommies, how do you deal with this?

[lilsaintsm0m]

When my son was this young ganyan din eh. What I did was I let him pee first before he gets to bed. And less liquid pag gabi na. Para sure na empty ang bladder. 

[yapeegurl]

^Same strategy tayo sis.. what we're doing now is to avoid liquid before bedtime.. at least an hour or 2.. at night meron pa din sya diaper kasi monitor ko muna ang diaper kung gaano kadami ang pee nya in the morning and how often in a week sya mag pee at night.. but in the afternoon, success kami sa 'no diaper' when taking a nap..

it helps din na maya't maya pinapa pee.. kahit na minsan sabihin nya na ayaw nya mag pee, pinipilit ko kasi minsan tinatamad lang pero ang dami naman pee..

[sarahsensible]

^tama, i learned that kay yaya na nung marunong na potty trained na sila hehe..napupuyat kasi ako kapag gigisingin nila ako wiwi daw

[akaticzon]

i'm happy that my daughter at 2.8 yo is already toilet trained. ayaw na nya sa potty and diaper. kapag matagal yung byahe, i insist on putting a diaper on.. aba, at talagang pinigil niya yung wiwi and pupu dahil ayaw talaga sa diaper.

[pinkpotato]

^ di ba sis di daw maganda kapag pinipigil? sabi ng mga matatanda di ba magkakasakit kapag pinipigil ang wiwi.

[lalei]

Hi ladies,
Gusto ko lang sana magtanong kung saan merong waterproof mattress protector at magkano kaya? Salamat!
