So this week has flown past and we are now well into potty training my little lady.As I said in my previous post we are mostly dry during the day so I really wanted to get her dry at night too.
When Dry Like Me offered me the chance to review their Potty Training Pads to review I jumped the chance!We were previously using Pull Ups and so this seemed the logical next step in order to ditch the nappies altogether.
So first impressions I honestly “wow these will never keep her dry” they are absorbent pads you just pop in your childs underwear that will catch any wee/poo if they do happen to go.They can be used at the front,the back or both if you feel they need it.They even come with a little pouch if you want to pop them in your bag when out and about!
I explained to my daughter we weren’t going to use pull ups anymore and she was going to be a really big girl and try her “star pads” she reacted really well and after the first night ran to get them ready when she was changing for bed!
The first night she was actually dry but then when she came downstairs she promptly wee’d!It did catch most of it but I was quite impressed that it only leaked a bit considering it would have been a wee she was holding overnight!
We got 4 dry nights out of the 7 and I’m finding it an awful lot easier than I expected to!I have no qualms that she will be dry after the 5 week period.

Keep calm and expect lots of accidents. To try and get them to sit on a potty for more than a minute read them an interesting book or play a game on a tablet. Children get bored sitting still for too long

Wait until they are ready it is much quicker and easier, I attempted it 3 times with my son and the first 2 times he just wasn’t ready. Now with my daughter I am waiting, she is nearly ready and is 2 and 4 months but I’m in no rush.

I have no tips because we’re going to be starting soon! The only thing I would say is wait until they are ready, I tried my son a couple of months ago and he had a melt down when I sat him on the potty – I figured it wasn’t time!

Don’t rush it. If it’s taking too long to get the hang of, then take a break from it for a little while. Reward charts/stickers are good.

I think the most important thing is to wait until they are really ready. I felt pressured from Zoe’s nursery to potty train her ages ago but I knew she wasn’t ready. Trust your instincts as a mum – you’ll know when they are ready!!
