Bathroom Set Up
You can keep the potty near by in the living room or transform a small corner of your bathroom with a low mirror, shelf and of course the potty to encourage independent self care alongside potty training
You can temporarily stick a mirror to the wall at the child’s height
Kids Mirrors
This is absolutely the best potty chair - the shape of the bowl actually keeps the pee from going everywhere regardless of the size or gender of the child. They can be used all the way up through school age and you can keep it in the car for emergenc...
BabyBjörn Potty Chair, Deep green/White : Baby
Wall mounted spice racks work great for storing kids toiletry items or books in the bathroom! If you don’t have room in the bathroom you can always use the hall etc. This is a temporary fix until your child gets tall enough to reach the sink
Wall Mounted Spice Rack
Beautiful in any room but absolutely recommend in the bathroom when kids get tall enough to start washing their hands. Under two may be too young still
Childs Wooden Step Stool
These are great for drying kids hands! Say pet the duck and they get the gist
Cartoon Kids Water Absorbent Soft Towel
Bathroom accessories
Odds and ends to make things a little easier or keep in the spice rack ;)
Babies love copying mom and dad - get them a comb to try on their own

I love using fun rugs in the bathroom especially under the potty it makes them excited to go to the bathroom

Keep an extra tooth brush accessible to kids to experiment with and practice on their own. Always brush their teeth twice a day with toothpaste

Potty Training Clothes
When you are potty training a child that is between 12-18 months old - they don’t really have the ability to undress themselves - you have to watch them really closely and get them on the potty as fast as you can or use a timer to put them on every 2...
If you have siblings and pets around i recommend using training underwear - feeling the wet pee motivates kids to stay dry - it is not a bad thing to have accidents at first it’s part of the process and to be expected. I recommend buying size 2T-3T o...
Training Underwear
Get a bunch of long sleeve T shirts in size 2 T - a little roomier is better. Grabbing whatever u find in the thrift store works too. These are just for practicing early elimination communication around the house
Toddler Long Sleeve T Shirts
Instead of pants use long socks to keep legs warm when you are practicing early elimination communication around the house
Kids Knee High Socks
These are also a great option for keep legs warm and you will definitely need them if your child plans to play soccer
Toddler Soccer Socks
Incentives
Be cautious with incentives but I believe they can go a long way in pushing progress with potty training before age two. Remember to keep it small and immediate at this age this will give you the best results
These are fun and can eliminate the need for a treat. Kids just like putting the sticker on the chart and that’s motivation enough!
Toilet Training Chart
These are great for incentives for kids they are yummy and a little healthier than skittles
YumEarth Organic Giggles Chewy Candy Allergy Friendly
These minis are tiny and kids love them. Give out one at a time and they will be happy with that
Mini M&m
Little toy cars make a great incentive and by the time they collect them they will be potty trained

This book is fun for the whole family. Older siblings can read it aloud and show pictures to the potty trainee. Whether they are talking or not reading helps them learn A TON. My daughter learned a lot from this book when she was potty training and s...
Time to Pee!: Willems, Mo: 9780786818686
