This post and giveaway were made possible by iConnect and Pampers Easy Ups. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.”

Its hard to believe that Peanut is no longer a baby.  Where did the time go?  When we came home from the hospital, she was wearing newborn Pampers diapers.  Fast forward 2 1/2 years and now she is starting to graduate from diapers and trying to become a big girl!  Potty Training is not always the easiest.  All kids are different and not everything will work for every little one.  But here are some of the tips I have found so far:

Watch for the Signs of Potty Training Readiness
You’re little ones will let you know when they’re ready to start potty training.   Some are ready as early as 14-18 months, other may not be ready until closer to 2 years.  Some signs can include hiding when he/she needs to go, going longer periods of time having a dry diaper, pulling off their own diaper when they realize it’s wet.  pampers-easy-ups-2

Set up a “Potty Station”

There are so many different styles of “potty seats” on the market.  There are ones that can fold up for travel, some that just sit on the toilet seat itself and then others that are free standing toilet seats.  We personally have a collapsible one for when we are on the go and then a free standing seat when we’re at home.

Make Potty training fun

I have found with Peanut that if I just tell her its time to go potty, she tends to not want to and will fight me on it.  But If I get all excited and start to play run to the bathroom, she is right next to me all excited to go on the potty! We also have our little rewards system as well.  I found the mini M&Ms at our Walmart. Peanut loves M&Ms but I didn’t want her to have so much chocolate as a treat. The minis are perfect!  She gets 1 mini for every time she pees and then 2 is she goes number 2.

pampers-easy-ups-1Make sure you’re wearing the proper protection

Having the right kind of bottoms makes all the difference when it comes to potty training!  While she’s not ready yet for big girl underwear, we have decided to use Pampers Easy Ups.  They are a great compromise between diapers and underwear.   I loved that if she has an accident in her EasyUps, that the sides are easy to pull apart, and then I can treat like changing a diaper. Peanut loves them because she can pull them on and off herself.

    Use a potty the child likes, is comfortable using, and is not intimidated by

    A potty training tip I think that’s important is having a good reward system that really excites your child. My oldest grandson loved earning 1 M&M for each potty success and it kept him motivated.

    This is cool. We just bought training underwear but these are better than pull ups for night time.

    My potty training tip is to be consistent. Also, each child trains at their own pace. Get kids excited about training by buying them training pants/underwear with their favorite children’s characters on them.

    We have books by the potty chair, and go many times during the day to read book in hopes that something will happen! He loves to listen to stories, so he loves going to sit on the potty!

    All kids are so different so I believe different methods work for different kids. With my son I set a timer for 20 minutes and took him to the bathroom until he got the hang of it. He potty trained very easily. We tried everything from sticker charts, m&m’s, ect. with my daughter and the only thing that worked was patiently waiting until she was ready.

    The biggest tip I have is to have continued patience with the child through the process as kids can sense parents/care givers tension.
