The potty boot camp worked for us! I have another thread with the details, but it helped give me the confidence to stick with the "no more diapers" plan. I tried it once before but she was so sad that I gave in. This time, since I had a developed plan from the potty boot camp book, I had more confidence to not give in and instead stick with the plan. It took 2 full days of hard work, but by day 3 we had an accident free day!



Two things I'd say for sure! 1. If you train on the big potty, make sure you buy a seat that doesn't slide or tip. That turned my DD off the big potty at first. And dumping out a little potty is at least as bad as changing a poopy diaper, but it's a start. 2. Bubbles work GREAT for keeping little ones on the potty for longer than they'd like.



Good luck! If you want to check out the book, you can download an e-book for less than $6. www.thepottybootcamp.com You can also e-mail the author and she'll e-mail you back within 24 hours. I swear this is not an advertisement, it just worked so great for us that I'm going to recommend it to everyone!

Thanks so much Marisol! I looked at your thread as well. For us, I think the no diapers boot camp is the way to go. I'm not good with "wishy washy"- I tend to cave too easily and Nathan does much better with the "this is what we're doing now, no excuses" mentality. We'll see how it goes.

I cried the first day when she was sad about not having her diapers anymore. But when she had her first success on the potty and yelled "I DID IT!" at the top of her lungs, I knew it was worth it.



Good luck!

Thanks again! You're giving me all the encouragement I need to give it a go.
