Hi Lora,

Thank you for your FANTASTIC program! It has worked beautifully throughout the day time and our daughter has improved at night to the point where she is only waking once to go to the toilet however that occurs with my husband sleeping on the floor next to her bed and waking to take her to the potty. We are nearing to the end of Day 4 and there are no longer any accidents throughout the day. We are very impressed as we had 18 accidents on Day 1 and nothing to show in the potty.

2 Questions please …

1. How do we now get to the stage where she will sleep throughout the night dry without my husband being present (our daughter will be 3 in June)? As we are in a large house and her bedroom is at one end of the house and us at the other. We don’t want her to wake up and panic. We have placed her potty in the bathroom closest to her bedroom and leave the bathroom light on of an evening.

2. Throughout the 3 day program we have given her lots of variety of fluids as you suggested. But going on to so called Day 5 tomorrow how much fluid should she be drinking throughout the day?

Kind regards,

John and Kylie

I have a 2-1/2 year old daughter.  She initially started using the potty when she was about 23 months old.  She used regular panties and she did great.  Sometimes she would have an occasional pee pee accident.

Well, we went on vacation though and used pull ups on the airplane in her carseat because we flew from NY to California.  Well the whole trip was awful (in terms of potty training, she totally regressed).  When we came home I just started leaving her underwear off so she could see when she was going to go.  Then when I would go out I used pull ups.

Well currently at 30 months old she never tells me and has many accidents.  I am so frustrated.  I am lucky to stay at home with her so I just try and remind her(although after reading you ebook I realize I have been asking her if she has to go, not reminding her to tell me)

Also I never tried nighttime potty training!  I feel like I wish I would have learned of this book soooooo many months ago.

I actually downloaded www.thepottytrainer.com and tried that last week.  Well she is worse.  By worse I mean she has always pooped in the toilet(since 23 months old) and never had poop accidents.  When I said regressed earlier I meant pee only.  Well yesterday after trying the methods from thepottytrainer, she had a poop accident.  This other book recommends MAKING them go potty by a timer.  Even if they are crying and screaming to force them.

So now I plan to just let her wear her underpants and follow your nighttime training method.

Then wait 30 days to try yours as you recommend.

I am a dwarf (3 feet 9 inches tall) and I walk with crutches so it is not easy to carry her quickly too far.  I have been using multiple little potty chairs for her.  I have a potty chair in the family room and one in the living room.  So we just usually use the closest potty depending on where we are in the house.  If we are in the bathroom or near the bathroom we use the regular toilet with a potty insert.

Can I continue doing this while using your method?

Also since we have had such a long go of this, do you have any other recommendations?

Thanks so much!

p.s.
I have to say thank you again because I was so uncomfortable with the other methods from www.thepottytrainer.com it just seems so negative.  Today was just awful she has more accidents after following this method than she ever had!!!!!!!  I am so happy to have your book now.  THANKS!!!

Lora,

Today has already gotten off to a good start.  My son has gone poo poo twice already today.  No crying, no whining - he just did it.  Thanks for the advice!

Hi Lora,

We used your 3 day potty training program with our 3 year old daughter and she was fully trained by the end.  I was totally skeptical, but once we got through the first day it just started to click!  Thank you so much for all the advice.  Having a written program really helped us feel more empowered to stick with it when the going got tough.

Since we were so successful with your potty training advice, I was wondering if you had any advice for getting babies to sleep through the night.  Our 6 month old daughter has us up 3-5 times at night and we are totally exhausted and going insane from lack of sleep!  I think she’s also addicted to her binkie and we’re trying to figure out how to take that away without a total meltdown.  Any advice would be soooooo appreciated!

Thanks again,

Hi Lora, Thank you so much for all your great tips/advice in your book. Your method truly does work! My son got it on the 3rd day and now tells me when he has to go but I’m having a hard time getting my son to urinate soon after he wakes up from his nap and bedtime. He’s been waking up dry but I know he needs to go after not going for so many hours. I don’t know why he fights going after waking up. I’m afraid he’ll get a bladder infection if he doesn’t go right away. Please help! Thank you!
