We used the Baby Signs Potty Kit with my first daughter when she was 18 1/2 months. She was already doing a number of baby signs so she picked up on the additional signs like potty, good job, and wash hands really well. We used and are still using the baby bjorn potty chair. Initially, we tried putting her on the baby bjorn toilet attachment, but it was a bit overwhelming for her to be that high up. She definitely felt more grounded and comfortable sitting on a potty chair more her size with her feet on the floor. The kit comes with great reward stickers that were great for her age. We ended up using stickers for going pee and then stamps for going poo. Within a week of potty training using the baby signs, she was potty trained with the pee. The poo took another 2-3 weeks. We used cotton training pants with plastic pants over the cotton training pants. We still would put a diaper on her during her naps and bedtime for a while. She is now 21 months old now and is fully out of diapers. Woohooo... We knew we would be All Aboard the Potty Train with our second daughter. We are definite fans of baby signs and the baby signs potty training concept of potty training before the age of 2.
We are currently potty training my second daughter who is 16 months old. She has been doing GREAT!!! She is in cotton panties during the day and diapers during her nap and nighttime sleeping. We did not have issues with the poo. She is comfortable going pee and poo in her baby bjorn potty chair. I wonder if that is because we started a little earlier with her than my older one. Anyways, I'm glad about that. We used the same rewards as we did for my first one except that for pee you get one sticker..for poo you get 2 stickers. Having an older sibling that is potty trained also helps speed along the process I think. My older daughter has been very helpful with her little sister's potty training. I remember the morning of the first day that I decided to start potty training my little one. I took off her diaper, brought down the cotton training pants, and put one on her. My older daugher was ELATED!!! She was so excited. Anywho, I will continue to blog the progression of the potty training.

ReplyDeleteWith my second daughter, I did not use the vinyl pants. The main thing to have are the cotton training pants.
