*EVERYTHING* POTTY TRAINING 👶🏼✨ the video I wished I had on my journey

[@melissaolinger6553]

We’re just about to start prepping for potty training! I love how you’re always one step ahead of us!

[@naliseroman]

same on this side

[@vsailorsv]

Same. Arrow is like 5 months older than my son so her videos always give me a heads up for milestones lol

[@stephaniepedraza1351]

Same here 😅

[@MsDigitalEnvironment]

Ditto! My baby girl is 6 months younger. Brittany, have been loving your content since the day I became a mom - thank you!

[@norachloe9163]

Same here! :) my son is about a year younger than Arrow. One step ahead, or actually for me a couple of steps ahead, but great to be able to be prepared for whatever next phase, milestone. Great content. Usefull tips and information. Following since I was pregnant.

[@sugarmalerv]

My baby is almost 6 months old but girl I’m researching 😆 thank you for all your videos! Been here for years and staying 🙆🏻‍♀️

[@l_7376]

We're day 1 of potty training here! This could not have come at a better time! Oooof, what a long day so far 😅.

[@brittanybalyn]

You got this!! ✨

[@lexieharrison299]

Yes! About to potty train my almost 2 and almost 3 year old at the same time. This is the PERFECT video for me! lol

[@BlaackStones]

Having my daughter help clean was actually a big mistake! She then was more focused on cleaning than learning where/how to pee… loved your other advices! Hope this continues to go well for you both!!

[@brittanybalyn]

So interesting! We didn’t have it become a distraction in our home. I’m sorry that didn’t work out for you!

[@brattrox2939]

Some kids LOVE cleaning things so I could see that happening

[@MissKathyG]

Great timing! My girl got a potty seat for Christmas. Not starting yet but prepping soon.

[@MissKathyG]

9 months later we are wanting to officially start potty training.

[@paigehibbert2028]

Literally doing this with my son tomorrow. Crazy that this video popped up. Thanks for the advice!

[@lifeafter2396]

Thank you this is perfect! We’re gonna start potty training in a couple months once my son turns 2 1/2 so this was good info! Please keep us updated on what worked what didn’t, etc :)

[@Thelilmissbz]

Bless you for this! 😅 my daughter just turned 2 recently

[@angeliqueclaire]

Thank you for making this video! We're starting potty training this weekend with my 2 yo and my 15 months old. Wish me luck 🙃

[@christengardner1466]

How's it going with 15 month old..my baby is 16 months almost 17 months and take the diaper off sadly. I really don't know what to do anymore

[@autd5244]

:D I would have never thought about the period timing, haha! Glad you mentioned it

[@Mindyabusiness]

We start tomorrow! You have the best timing! ❤️❤️

[@Alyskeller]

about to potty train my little gal and this made me feel so much better!❤

[@christengardner1466]

Do you stop the sippy cup at night in order to start potty training?

[@elizabethholmes7465]

Thank you for sharing these tips and tricks! I’m going to need them in the new year with my almost 2 year old! 💕

[@mulletmaggie]

Thanks for the tips! We started potty training yesterday. So is Arrow potty trained now? Did you train for naps or do you put a pull up on for naps? I was about to put my daughter down for her nap without a diaper yesterday and my husband thought that was a terrible idea lol

[@flor6392]

Was waiting for this video. Definitely going to need it

[@faithbobillo2148]

I’m about to start ahh thank you for this ! Right on time ❤

[@Jennyfermireles]

Currently trying to potty train. I had no plan! Lol Thank you for all the tips 🙏

[@stephanienicole3287]

Hey Brittany!! I have always followed your videos and love all of your content! You are so raw and real. Idk if you will see this or respond but what do you recommend to put in the “clean up” basket? We have carpet in some areas of the house (all upstairs) and I’m trying to get some good products, we are preparing to start this week once I finalize my Amazon order.

[@kelseyspriet564]

Thank you for sharing! Just curious what did you do for naps?

[@anneko6842]

Wow perfect timing, I just started yesterday

[@mikat2782]

Great video Brittany! Things I wish I knew before potty learning (also did the BLF method): in the first period after the three intense days it still felt like a challenge to go on an outing, especially a longer one & number 2 can be surprisingly scary on a potty…and that also remained for quite some time after the 3 days Just to add some more potty-experiences 😊

[@jennyupabove]

We just tried potty training last weekend and she wasn't ready. We'll give it a month and try again! Definitely saving this video for tips

[@kayladominguez5017]

How old is she if you don’t mind sharing? Im on the fence for my 2 year old and I don’t want to jump the gun if I don’t need to!

[@jennyupabove]

@@kayladominguez5017 She is 2 and 4 months. She's giving all the right signs, just not quite ready for whatever reason

[@annakins15]

What nighttime pull ups work best? I feel like they leak more then nighttime diapers

[@mariedaly2231]

Thanks so much for this video, just wat i need for my 2 year old who starts school in march...

[@sarahhowe421]

What kind of training underwear for daytime/nighttime did you use? I’m collecting my supplies and would love recommendations! ♥️ This video is so helpful!

[@jessicahawthorne4122]

Looove your sweater - where is it from? Thanks! 💙

[@claudiamorales6345]

Thank you for this video. We are going to begin potty learning next week.

[@ladykitty16]

Definitely taking this into account when I start with my girl. BTW cute long sleeve where did you get it from?

[@taliasproul1276]

Sorry if I missed this, what is your plan for long car rides?

[@alissugh]

definitely going to be emotional for me since i’m doing this while 6 months pregnant 🥲

[@lizaleonhardt8837]

Hoping to potty train in a few months with my daughter who just turned 2! This video is perfect timing 👌

[@lizaleonhardt8837]

Can you talk about signs of readiness for potty training you noticed in your toddler?

[@deliasolorzano148]

I’m just about to start potting training my 2 1/2 year old and so happy this video came out! He knows where to go potty, it seems like he knows when he has to go (because he runs and hides) and he will even say he wants to sit on the toilet sometimes, but for some reason he just won’t go number 2 in the potty, any advice on getting him to go in the potty?

[@Lauren-yq3ds]

Number 2 takes much longer than 1. Just keep with it and one day it will magically click!

[@thewarns7650]

1 potty trained my son after he turns 2 he got it after 2 days but he won’t go number two also for about a week lol. I think they’re scared to do number two I remember my son crying all the time cus he knows it needed to come out but doesn’t wanna sit and push he became so constipated. til one day I knew he need to go number 2 I distracted him by bringing his iPad and played his favorite show on it til he got it out and told him “see that’s nothing and it’s not scary it feel good to get it out” lol and that’s it but that was a pain cus he just cries and cries wen he knows it’s coming but don’t wanna push it out lol

[@AmyLy]

I know you mentioned you used the 3 day potty training method but looks like there is a ton of different books about it. What book did you follow?

[@morganjames6519]

My son turned 2 in December and I know potty training is going to come soon and I’m dreading it so badly 😢

[@rawsteph4114]

Very helpful video! Do you feel you started potty training at the right age for your daughter?

[@aprilb4831]

Love your videos. Sending you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the 🇬🇧. We are about to start potty training in the new year ✨️ 😊 🤔🤪 wish us luck hahaa

[@sanjanaahmed9584]

I was just about to ask if you could do a video on this context ❤️ thank you so much! I love your videos! ❤️ from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@xTwiStedxBeautYx]

So is arrow fully trained or are you still working on it? I just started potty training my 3 year old daughter. She still isn’t talking, so we are using a potty watch every 30 minutes.

[@brittanybalyn]

She was day time trained by day 4, still working on outings and adding bottoms was a whole new transition!

[@Leslygx3]

Im training slowly my 2 year old. She achieves peeing in morning on toilet but the redt of day im battling

[@Kasienka444]

I learned a lot from your baby sleeping training. Could you say something about transition to the todler bed? My son is sleeping very well independently but I'm terrified of the transition now 🙃

[@abbykimz]

I bought a $6 portable potty for my son, I started putting him on from time to time in the morning from he was 17 months. He's 19 months now and says stinky when he's going number 2, that's a good sign to me as I'm gonna take that as a queue to put him on it. I like the potty liner idea.

[@dianavelazquez3826]

About to start potty training 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

[@emilyanderson2963]

How old is little arrow? Just wondering what would be the best age to start ?

[@julietaelman4650]

Hi Brittany, I really love all your videos, It helps me forget my problems sometimes..🥹 My sister has a little boy, he is 3 years old now so I learned a few little things. All the tips you gave us like when she is in the bath, you will be glad that you have a potty on hand. But the plastic bags I wouldn’t use because you can just throw it in the toilet unless she is sick ofcourse. Axel always likes it to flush afterwards. Anyways happy newyear and sorry for my spelling, I am from Belgium. Greetings from Julie and please keep doing your video’s 😊

[@Alex347Fin]

always have to ask. What pants are you wearing and what mascara are you using?

[@brittanybalyn]

Pants are new from Free People and my mascara is the waterproof maybelline the falsies!

[@lingling3334]

Thanks Brittany for another great vid! How old is Arrow again? I always try and follow you guys’ journies because my toddler is a little bit younger than Arrow. (He’s 2.5 years)

[@sunshine037gv]

Anyone has any advice for a toddler that goes to daycare AND has been using pull ups regurarly for a year now? She shows a lot of signs of being ready, but how to coordinate it with going to daycare 5 days a week??

[@oliviaray4324]

I’ve never clicked so fast 😅 we’re about to start with my son.

[@brittanybalyn]

Good luck! 💖

[@TaylaBo]

When to start potty training??

[@CiciRodge]

Thank you for this!!!!

[@triciaglorioso9461]

I appreciate you mentioning that it was an emotional journey for you. I really struggled after breast feeding partially due to my hormones but emotionally it was way more challenging than I anticipated. My little one (and me!) isn’t ready yet for potty training but might be soon. I’d love to try the three day method but everything except our kitchen is carpeted. 😬 Any tips?

[@brittanybalyn]

I would probably designated one room to the training, lay down waterproof mats, and just had loads of activities planned for those 3 days. Sounds like your kitchen and bathroom isn’t carpeted. I would do some baking and bath time to break things up a bit ❤

[@oliviaszabo194]

Hack**** use a rubber ducky to display how to pee on the potty…. Simply fill it like it’s drinking, then squirt it into the potty high enough so the child can see the water enter the toilet.

[@sineadoneill9307]

Thank god were starting with our son very soon 😘

[@HollyBaby20]

how did you say do do at 3:00 and not laugh?????

[@shamekiaholland6059]

Explains about the three day potty training and how it can affect your child

[@kaylaburch21]

This video came at perfect timing! Currently potty training. My daughter tells can go pee on the potty but not poo yet

[@85Onne]

Wow, that's intense, didn't think potty training was a science 🤣 you went in very prepared. I've potty trained my two kids slowly, with lets see what happens strategy 😀 worked well, 1st was diaper free before his 2nd birthday and 2nd was out of diapers month after her 2nd birthday. But getting it done in a few days seems great 😀

[@susantea777]

What did you do for your girl? My girl is almost two and I have one on the way so I'm hoping to get her potty trained before the other arrives.

[@85Onne]

@@susantea777 I just started to talk about the potty, we put her dolls and stuffed animals on the potty and I tried to put her on the potty and if she didn't want to I didn't force her. It was like that for a few months. And one random day she said she doesn't need diapers anymore (she did ofc 😀). But it was a cue for me that she gets it and from there it took a few weeks and she was diaper free.

[@susantea777]

@@85Onne Thank you for the response! Gotta try that out hopefully it works :) she's been pretending feeding her little baby doll so I'll probably start by putting her doll on her potty too. Crossing my fingers! Thanks!

[@almahamzic8027]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[@robyn274]

I started the potty training journey. Then the next day a fever for 3 days straight then super sick for a week long aftwards. He asked for his nappy (diaper) and I know you shouldn't start this journey when unwell. So regressed back. Now need to start again. Sigh...

[@2weirdpeopleinspace]

Starting potty training on Thursday 😅

[@Floreins87]

Started using the potty with my daughter at 7 months when she could sit on it. She's 19 months and still uses diapers but uses the potty everyday. She's so used to it now we are gonna stop using diapers. It's just hard to get the daycare to do it too

[@moonfighter4872]

My daughter is a month you get than Arrow and we started her at 1.5 years. Going to watch this for future children. She does it very well but still prefer to poop in pull ups rather than toilet mostly. Pees fully on potty.

[@laurenkenyon8825]

What signs did Arrow show that she was ready? Our son is a couple months younger than her. He tells us when he has done wees or poos in his nappy but isn't interested in sitting on a toilet or potty! He's very strong willed and won't do anything he doesn't want to (like any toddler I guess) but he really is a creature of habit!

[@-cassandra]

Omg so helpful❤ even tho I’m not a mom haha

[@Beaniesmama25]

Omg I was totally thinking about what to do when you have your period while you are showing how to use the potty 😂.

[@brittanybalyn]

Lol yeah I never heard anyone mention this, so I wanted to share haha

[@YeYeLuBz]

I taught my toddler the 3 day bottomless method too. But now the struggle is teaching to not to pee/poo once she has underwear. Because once she has something on she thinks is a diaper and its a whole set back. 😔😔😔 any mommas have some advice?

[@Misshooyeah]

We used the trunks/boyleg style underwear that way they feel different on as they aren’t the same shape or cut as a nappy. This worked for us! Good luck!

[@peacedarlynn]

My daughter is 18 months and is now aware that the toilet is something you “poo” on but she’s not really aware what “poo” is i believe. Last night she climbed on my closed toilet and said “i poo poo” and t grabbed the toilet paper and tried to wipe herself lol so She’s not ready to potty train but Im just watching videos to better prepare myself . Thank you for this! I just happened to see this video the next day after my daughter did this haha

[@enhunter82]

Thoughts on potty training twins?

[@SammiDesire]

How did you know she was ready?

[@brittanybalyn]

There’s lots of different signs of readiness, and she had been showing them for a month or two before! :)

[@Alex347Fin]

I started potty training at 9 months. Don't recommend waiting this long. There will be regressions sometime tho. Once your toddler can get up and run good luck having them sit on the potty

[@kellybean6904]

They do it everyday. And most people potty train after the age of 2 so obviously for the majority of people it’s very very doable

[@caleb.caleb123]

Muito legal. 🇧🇷

[@brendaababey]

My 23 mo potty train himself in a week , kids are smarter then we think. When they’re ready they will do it 😅 yay for no more diapers haha

[@hopeard3512]

I am terrified of potty training 😅

[@Sprickles58]

People put too much pressure on potty training. We’ve just been open and talking about using the toilet since my son was born. He sees us use it and likes to flush for us. Eventually heI’ll want to copy how we do it and we have everything we need for that time. But we’re not in a rush over here.

[@Lionfish5656]

I notice that with girls especially. There seems to be pressure for girls to potty train younger than boys.

[@jadechandler3054]

My daughter will not have her nappy off for even 2 minutes she screams at me to put it on. Also will not even attempt to sit on the potty so I don’t know what to do !

[@marksfamilymoments]

😍

[@dorothys3575]

I feel like Arow wasn't fully ready for potty training based on what you are saying and how you struggled. My daughter when I knew she was ready went diaper free in two days, with no accidents at all. What is missing in your video are the signs of readiness from a child. Parents shouldnt decide themselves when to potty train.

[@brittanybalyn]

She showed lots of signs of readiness, yes that wasn't mentioned in this video as I assuming parents will look to this video when noticing the signs of readiness, and all children will learn at their own speed. Accidents for a few days is completely normal. I happy you had such a smooth experience!

[@cassieslife934]

Definitely struggling toddler doesn’t wanna sit on the potty

[@mimilovinglife4544]

I have a boy got the poop in the potty down but pee pee is totally different. Haha

[@brittanybalyn]

I found pee harder too! Just comes out quicker lol not enough time to run to the potty!

[@sero78744]

Now make a video explaining how to convince your parents to potty train at THEIR house!! Now thats a CHALLENGE! 🤣

[@brittanybalyn]

Haha I had them watch the course I took, and we all agreed it would be very challenging to do this method alone with a dog in my apartment. We didn’t want my daughter walking my dog with me bottomless in the streets of LA. I think that was a selling point lol

[@kellykawaguchi4808]

How did you know she was ready?

[@brittanybalyn]

There are a lot of different signs of readiness, the ones I noticed were long periods of time of being dry in a diaper (awake and during sleep), interest in the potty, fast at alerting me of a potty in the diaper, using words like pee or poo, and finally sitting on the potty itself!
