Because potty training is not for the faint of heart. My number one advice when you start potty training is to make sure that YOU are ready as well because once you start, don't go back!

Seats

One of the most important decisions when starting to potty train! For me, I had to think about a seat that would work for my toddler AND the rest of the family! Here are several great options to consider!

The exact seat we have. I love that it stays ON the toilet. I don't have to worry about the seat being in the floor, bathtub, living room (toddlers..). The kids bathroom is also very tiny so it helps to have one less thing on the floor.

This one is for when you are on the go.. Yes, if we have a long day ahead of us, I will keep one in my car, let them potty, and dump it on the grass. There is NOTHING worse or more disgusting than taking TWO toddlers into public restrooms all day lon...

Okay I have mixed feelings here. I did use one of these with my son and he liked it! After so long though, you want to just use the main potty instead of cleaning and putting back all day, and then it was like we had to learn a new way again. We like...

Undies

My favorite advice is when you are close to time, go to the store with them and let them pick out some underwear that they like! It will help them feel part of the process and get them excited!

TRAINING PANTIES! I personally prefer these over pull ups because they look different, they feel different, and it won' t keep them completely dry if they wet… which is the ultimate point of underwear.

An inexpensive option. It's not a bad idea to have a pack or two ready because you may encounter several accidents and need to throw some away lol.

Rewards

I do feel like rewards are so important during this phase to encourage your toddler and give them something to look forward to! Every child is different so just pick something that your toddler will thing is special!

Candy! My kids will do just about anything for an M&M. I tried not to do an edible reward every time, but I definitely had my moments of bribery.

Training

Embarrassed to say, but I did purchase the Big Little Feelings potty training course. I knew I would be tackling this phase by myself and had NO clue where to start. It gave me the confidence I needed and I was glad I took it BEFORE we started potty ...
