Potty Trainer, I guess!?

“How can this be done!?” one may ask! Well; this is not our idea, but my wife did take a principle and build on it.  The book my wife got (when Alex was potty training; about a y) was called “Potty Train in Three Days!“.  My wife noticed that most folks buy pull-ups and other diaper-like underwear and try and potty train their kids within a month or so and end up going much much longer.  This method is intense and stressful, but it’ll get the job done.

  • Buy padded underwear, not pull-ups or anything that more resembles a diaper.  The child needs to feel themselves getting wet.
  • Buy very simple potty products. The more gadgets their toilet has the more they’ll play with it and not really use it.
  • Make plans to NOT go anywhere for at least a week. This process will require that you monitor the baby strictly for three days, but it could possibly leak over into five or seven days.  Depending on the child or the training.
  • Be very patient and find ways to keep your sanity for the first three days. It can and it will be very nerve-wraking to monitor your baby and letting them have accidents.
