When I started thinking about potty training my first baby, I was unequipped, clueless, and had no idea where to start. We had a potty, we had some rewards, we even got some training pants, but I didn’t know how to teach my little one the concept of potty training. We started when she was a year and a half. She was talking and was able to understand a lot more than I thought she would have at that age – so I thought the timing was right. After days of trying, even spending two hours on the potty with entertainment only to have her pee as soon as her diaper was put back on, I gave up. It wasn’t happening now and she would train when she was ready.
Even though she wouldn’t potty train, she loved the designs on her Pull Ups. At the time, there were princesses and the training pants were pink, which appealed to her. They didn’t look anything like her diapers and she loved them. Since she liked them so much, I used them as a tool to get her to use the potty. If she wanted to wear her “princess pants” she would have to use the potty. Now, with baby #2, I feel that I am better able to handle potty training. Of course, all kids are different and she may not be ready when I’m ready, but that’s okay! She’s already showing signs of wanting to use the potty like her big sister, so I am using that as a way to introduce potty training to her.
When I showed her the new Pull Ups training pants by Huggies, she immediately became excited to see some fun characters. We watch Monsters Inc all the time, so she is familiar with Sully and Mike Lizowski. When she found Sully on her Pull Ups, she shouted “BOO” after her favorite character in the movie. I think familiar characters are a great way to get kids motivated to potty train
So, here we are… potty training again! I am not as fearful or naive as I was the first time around, and know that she will get it when she’s ready, but it doesn’t hurt to start getting her familiar with the potty! I will update you next week on our progress!
Pull-Ups helps take the scare out of potty training by making it fun and easy with new Monsters U character training pants! You can help make potty training easier by staying consistent and using rituals like the potty break. Make it a game and ask your toddler, “What does a little monster take?”…“A Potty Break!”and “like” Pull-Ups on Facebook for more potty training tips and resources.
Those designs are so cute! My boys were always motivated to potty train when there were fun graphics on their pull-ups.
Aww they’re so cute! I love that they have disney for girls! 🙂
I prefer the princess ones, but these are cute as well… and what the child likes is what really counts.
These are so cute!
I’m glad you’re feeling more confident this time around. I love that they’ve extended the line for girls to include other characters like MIke and Sully 🙂
Those are so cute, it is so weird my kids did not have them growing up! I missed out for sure.
I am just loving the new Monsters U design.
we are in the throes of potty training ourselves.
I love the Monsters Inc ones! I’m so glad we’re passed the potty training stage.
Best of luck on the journey! It really helps to have the fun character prints. Sweet T loved having Minnie Mouse on hers.
Pullups were especially great for night time and those just in case moments.
So cute. We’re about to start pull ups so thanks for sharing how this is working for you.
Love Monsters University characters how fun that they are on pullups
Both of my kids used Pull Ups when potty training. Seeing their favorite characters on the front really helped them to like wearing them.
My son is OBSESSED with the Monsters Inc. Pull-Ups! The Pull-Ups in his size come with Cars & Monsters Inc. so he makes us use all the Monsters ones before we can use the Cars ones.
Fun designs for the kiddos!!
They are so cute love how they make them with characters now.
Those MU pullups are so cute!
I love the designs! Good luck with potty training.
Those are cute.
I was definitely the worse mother when it came to potty learning. I just didn’t do it, I let my kids figure it out on their own because they were pretty stubborn. I hope you have better luck than I did.
Ahhh! I don’t look forward to that stage again! Love the Monster’s U on the pull ups! So cute!
Those are so cute!! Good luck!
I love the new designs!
Those are adorable!
These work, we used them with our son…I can’t wait for the second one to be potty trained!
Those are adorable. I loved pull ups when we were potty training.
Those are too cute!
