Need Help with Taking the Next Step for Semi-potty Trained Child... Thx!

She is still very young and may still be figuring this all uout. She is doing great. I would leave the diaper off as much as possible. Maybe just a pull-up at night. Get her really cute underpants like Dora or whatever she likes. She wont want to dirty them. During a play date or outing make sure you bring a change of clothes or two, and remind her through out the time to use the potty. Pretty soon you will find she has to go potty everytime you go out. This is how they learn that every place really does have a potty. Expect this to be a little work but so rewarding and quite cute if you look at things from their point of view.

I just potty trained my 21 month old DD in less than a day and she has had 2 accidents since then. This was 2 weeks ago.

First off DO NOT put her in a pull-up. She will think it is a diaper (there really isnt a difference) and will go in it. Put her in big girl panties and be sure to offer tons of praise and telling her "you're mommies big girl and I'm so proud of you" she will love it. We still use a pull up at night tho because she is still a little wet when she wakes up. I call them night time "panties" by saying that she wont wet them after her bath and before I lay her down for bed.

I still have to help her with her pants but that will come with practice and time. Also, when you are running errands dont use a diaper, you are only confusing her by doing this. Use her panties and just be sure to take lots of extra clothes/towels for any accidents she may have.

I dont have any advice on the poo in the crib thing but maybe the second you hear her waking take her straight to the potty so she doesnt have a chance to poo in her bed.

Good luck!! Sounds like you are doing great!! :)

Regarding (1) - just put her in underwear. If she has the pullup on (which feels just like a diaper to them) she will use it. If she is rarely having accidents, seems like she is more than ready for undies. Regarding (2), I think it is a matter of practice. Good luck. It sounds like she made this pretty easy on you - that is great.

Buy some of those really thick cotton "training pants". Not pull-ups. They are much much easier to pull down than regular panties or pull ups are.

And they will absorb a little bit if she tinkles a tiny bit... but she WILL still feel it and it WILL go through to her clothes.

I would keep her in dresses so that she only has to deal with the panties/training pants, and not pants on top of that.

Congrats on her doing so well so early!

Oh.. as far as what to do when you go running errands or leave the house for play dates and things...
Always let her know that you are leaving to go somewhere and that part of leaving the house is to go use the potty.
Then, when you get to your destination (the grocery store, the restaurant, somebody's house, etc) let her know as you are helping her out of the car and walking inside that "if you need to use the potty let me know and I'll show you where it is". That way she knows that there is one there for her to use and that YOU can show it to her. She doesn't have to go off alone in an unfamiliar place. It used to drive me nuts that every time we went somewhere, within 5 minutes of arrival, my daughter would tell me she had to go potty. I think she just liked figuring out that every place had one, and that they were all different! It was great fun for her!! And she would talk to me the ENTIRE TIME she was using the potty.... lol

since you know when she tends to go poo the next step would be to try to get her right before (as soon as you hear her stirring from nap or night time sleep) and put her on the potty. they sell Pull ups that the child can feel the wetness (not sure what they're called) I would think that would be the next step for her
