#1 – How does potty training work with swimming? If we take away the pull-ups, should we also be taking away swim diapers, or do we treat it more like night-time/naps?
#2 – My younger son who we started using Michelle’s potty training program for this week has started rejecting pullups. As exciting as it seems, I’m not sure if we should be putting him in underwear if he does that (if we haven’t started getting to 3-5 minutes with sitting). What is recommended? I don’t want to go 1 step forward, and 3 steps back. The big weekend I am planning for 4th of July.
Answer:
I would treat it like nap time/bed time until I get to 80% success throughout the day, then we get rid of them.
For your other son, ,I'm fine with tossing the pull ups as long as he's apart of the clean up process of any messes he makes while wearing them. I guess I would need to understand how far along in the sit process is he? How long will he sit currently?
For the 4th of July.. if you want to have fun and we aren't there yet with Potty Training, dont put pressure on the process. I would put him in a pull up so I can have a nice weekend when I am ready to get back to it, they come off. If you feel like he'll really give you a hard time, then I would fight the urge to allow undies until you're ready to do the intensive..but my gut is saying.. he might train fast. Depending on where you on timing wise for him sitting happily every time you ask.. will depend on what I might do next. But if I want to enjoy my holiday, a weekend pause will not set you back.
Let me know.
