Ok, here is an update to my potty training experience/experiment… and here’s what I’ve found:
It doesn’t take very long at all to get your baby to pee consistently in the potty, but it is a major commitment for you the parent. It took Cam just a couple of days to understand the potty is the place to pee.

The first few days I would guess when it seemed like he would need to pee. I sat him on the potty and made psshhh-psshh sounds and said pee-pee to give him a verbal cue. After a couple days my husband and I noticed that he would kick his legs and sometimes cry before he needed to pee. (It’s very important to have the support of any other caretakers in on the potty training too!) And after a couple of days I noticed that when I made the pee-pee sounds he would actually try to pee on the potty by flexing his hip muscles. I wasn’t sure though if he was associating peeing with being placed on the potty until I tried making the pee-pee sounds when we were at the beach– and sure enough he peed right on cue!

At night it was pretty predictable as to when to get him to the potty. In the middle of the night I would feel him kicking me as he was asleep and everytime it was when he needed to pee. The challenging part was when I decided to transition him from sleeping in bed with me to sleeping in a bassinet next to the bed– I couldn’t feel him kick me anymore, but I discovered that I could hear his legs moving around and he would make a certain sound when it was time.

We’ve had several nights in a row now with a totally dry diaper! I am more tired because I am constantly looking at him to see if he’s kicking, but I’m sure I’ll get used to trusting his sounds as my cue.

A friend asked me about pooping, how long do you keep him on the potty. I told her to use your intuition which I do… but I also noticed that in watching his leg and feet, I can tell if he is still in the pushing mode or totally done if he is relaxed.

I also discovered a great product called “potty on the go”. We used it today at our breastfeeding support group and it worked great! Cam pooped and peed and it was easy, clean and efficient! It is a collapsable potty that fits in your diaper bag! It comes with special plastic bags that act as the “well” of the pot. The bags have an absorbent pad at the bottom. I think you can use any plastic bag really and it’ll still work. A friend suggested an eco-friendly solution of using bio-degradable corn husk bags. I like that idea a lot, but I’ll have to see how easy they are to find, how waterproof they are and if they are not too pricey.

I am still struggling to make potty training work when we are out and about. I find that I am not clued into him as well since I’m being distracted by whatever I’m doing. And when he cries to let me know, I haven’t been able to be quick enough to get his diaper off and find an appropriate place to pee. I’m not sure that the potty on the go will solve those problems… hmmm. I’ll let you know if I discover anything that makes it easier. For now I’m thrilled that all of this is working so well… thanks to Cam :)
