Win a Pampers Easy Ups Summer Prize Pack #PampersEasyUps {Plus Twitter Party Info} #DDDivas #sponsored

“This review was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Pampers. I was provided the featured product free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% mine.”

Every day Sawyer gets bigger and bigger. I try to make it stop, but as you can imagine I’m failing. Miserably. Not only is he getting bigger but he is starting to want to BE bigger. He wants to do everything his big brother wants to do even if he knows he can’t. Now that he’s a toddler he just loves exploring all he can and learning new things daily. He knows it might take a few tries but if he keeps at it he’ll eventually succeed.

Big Boy Sawyer!

Crazy enough he’s old enough that we are about to start potty training shortly. We know we might need to make several attempts and that with boys they can sometimes be more delayed but I know that with how persistent Sawyer is he will succeed when he’s ready. Part of helping him succeed is giving him the right tools to do it, like with Pampers Easy Ups. Easy Ups provide outstanding leak protection – even overnight which means you can feel better about taking your little ones on more road trips and summer vacations! Since Easy Ups have an absorbent core that holds 25% more than the other leading training pant, which means fewer leaks and clothing change overs.

Plus, since they mimic the look of real underwear Sawyer can FEEL like one of the big boys getting ready in the morning while I feel confident we’re getting a little bit more coverage while he learns and makes mistakes. Pampers Easy UpsTomorrow night- Tuesday, June 10th– Double Duty Divas and Pampers are throwing one amazing twitter party!

To participate, follow your hosts @DoubleDutyDivas, @BridgetteLA, @CeceliaMecca @AngieKcom @WhatMommiesNeed @RamblingChick, and our sponsor @Pampers.

  1. Kristin says

    Best tip ever-wait until the child is ready, not when you are. This would have saved me at least a year of frustration on both our parts, with my son.

  2. Tiffany Greene Elliott says

    Take your child that you trying to potty training to the bathroom every 15 minutes (if possible) and take them with you when you go!! Be patient!! Thanks

  3. Andrea Meier says

    The best I have heard is don’t expect for them to get it right away. Also, I was told to get that elmo potty book!

  4. Kris Garvey says

    Go at the child’s pace, if they seem frustrated or get upset when you try to put them on the potty, they may not be ready !

  5. Casey Everidge says

    wait until they are ready! if you start to early you can make them frightened

  6. nikki heinz says

    Potty training takes time, patience, and consistency. ? Hardest part is patirnce sometimes for the child & u.. but in the end no matter if it 6 monthx or 2 yrs they will learn..

  7. lori clark says

    be patient! getting frustrated never helps with anything. It only frustrates the child as well

  8. nicole says

    wait until everyone is ready!

  9. Leah B says

    Positive reinforcement works better than negative reinforcement.

  10. Wait until they show signs of being ready.

  11. They won’t be wearing diapers when they go to college!!

  12. jenny pizana says

    With my first we gave m&ms. With #2 it’s not so easy.

  13. Becky VanGinkel says

    With our oldest, who is now 10, I used the naked method! We were in Arkansas at the time and it was really hot outside so I let him run around naked in the yard and that way, when he started going, he stopped and payed attention to what was happening. He was potty trained within a week! I now have a 15 month old that I will be starting to potty train soon.. not sure if the naked method is the right one for her though! lol

    babydjs_mom@yahoo.com

  14. Melissa Teears says

    I waited until my son was ready and spent a weekend home. I put him in underwear he had one little accident and didn’t like the feeling. Potty trained after that weekend. (Overnights just happened on its own over time.)

  15. Shirl says

    Make it fun,make it a game and keep it consistant throughout the day..

  16. tami p says

    be patient dont make it a battle

  17. Devon F says

    We let my oldest be bare naked while at home & potty training was in full force then just put her on potty every hour

  18. Jenny Q. says

    My best advice is to look for signs of potty training readiness before you start, don’t base it on age or what your friends are doing with their kids who are the same age.

  19. Thuy Vu says

    It is difficult but don’t give up. I cried with my first child. lol

  20. brittany marie thompson says

    patience and wait till they’re ready

  21. Cassandra Eastman says

    With my son I set a timer to remind myself to take him frequently which worked great! He was so easy to potty train. My daughter has been a lot harder so far.

  22. Sabrina says

    Start sitting them on the potty at a year old to read a book while you fill up the bath. This way they get used to sitting there. If they do anything, it’s a bonus that you can reward and make them excited about!

  23. Kimberly Bauer says

    My personal experience is you cannot rush them. Let them tell you when they are ready.

  24. demanda says

    Use lots and lots of praise and positive reinforcement! And don’t be afraid to resort to bribery if necessary.

  25. EJ (Jane) says

    We went on their schedule, when they show interest we begin. It will happen we just need patience.

  26. Nicole Rea says

    Have patience and keep it consistent!

  27. jocelyn says

    I slowly introduced her to the potty and let her tell me when she’s ready. Also leaving her in undies helped a lot in my opinion!

  28. With my oldest a timer worked wonders. We started with 5 minutes and went up from there. In no time she didn’t need it anymore.

  29. Terry Maigi says

    Sticker charts and treats worked wonders for my daughter!

  30. Sarah Brown says

    Patience…you have to maintain patience and not let frustration over the 10th accident of the day seep into your voice or behavior.

  31. Bridget Heiple Reich says

    Be patient and use rewards! 🙂 It was easy to potty train my daughter (she’s now 7), but my 2 year old son wants nothing to do with the potty!

  32. Maureen says

    My best tip (and one that I am trying to listen to myself right now) is to not push the kids to potty train until they are ready. My older two were not even interested until they were 3.5 years old. Once they were ready, they were ready. My youngest is nearing 3.5 and I am ready for her to be ready too, but I can’t rush her!

    Maureen

  33. Diane Cooper says

    My best potty training tip is to take them with you each and every time you go to the bathroom and sit them on the potty. It will eventually work!

  34. Rebecca Parsons says

    I have always been told to use a reward like a favorite sticker and put it on a chart. Or make it a celebration every time they go on their own.

  35. dian says

    have books to keep the LO busy and lots of Patience

  36. Be consistent! We did a sticker chart as well. Girl was easier for me, she wanted princess panties as reward.

  37. Shakia Flashner says

    Our girl is towards the end of potty training but that potty seat would do wonders when out and about.

  38. stephanie says

    i been told not to rush!

  39. vickie couturier says

    I start with going each morning when they first wake up,,and then take them to try after meals

  40. Kim says

    my tip is to just relax and have perspective!

  41. nannypanpan says

    my best tip is to keep at it and don’t give up

  42. Hillary H. says

    I’ve heard a rewards system works well.

  43. sandra says

    i’ve been told to look for signs when they’re ready to start

  44. Janet W. says

    One potty tip that I used is having a reward system set in place. We used M&Ms with my oldest grandson and he did wonderful and picked up on potty training so quickly. Anything that motivates your child, use that as their reward and I promise you’ll get results!

  45. Phylicia Phillips says

    M&ms we’re amazing rewards!

  46. erin dear (@mummadear) says

    Be consistent and give praise often, both are great ways to make it easier.

  47. Linda Madden says

    Just let your child tell you when they have to go. There will be accidents, don’t worry because it will work out just be patient

  48. D Schmidt says

    My best tip is be consistent, it maybe difficult at times but your child needs routine and to know you mean what you say.

  49. christina p says

    We are just starting potty training so I could use all the tips out there, I have heard of a few things like give little rewards after each suggessful potty in the toilet.

  50. patricia says

    We have not started potty training yet. The best advice I’ve gotten is to just be patient and don’t pressure the child to perform.

  51. Katy P says

    Bring extra clothes when out in case of accidents!

  52. jennifer says

    We make a huge deal out of it! It gets the kids excited and they love the attention!

  53. Anne A. says

    Reward the child after they go potty.

  54. Jessica Beard says

    A sticker reward chart has worked for us.

  55. Melissa M says

    My tip is not to rush it!

  56. Claire Rheinheimer says

    I just wait until the child is ready, they will let you know!

  57. shelly peterson says

    Have patience and using a reward system helps.

  58. barbara n says

    Patience, patience, patience

  59. Nancy says

    My best tip(s) are: after your child shows readiness, potty train in as few clothes as possible, dedicating several days 100% to get the hang of the process.

  60. Rewards do work!

  61. sara giresi says

    Cheerios in the toilet!

  62. I’ve been told to take 3 days and do nothing but work on potty training. Don’t know if it works or not though.

  63. courtney b says

    i heard use toys to bribe them, but its not working since my 3 year old is not yet potty trained! so i need all the tips i can get!

  64. I’ve heard to be consistent and take them to the potty every hour or two.

  65. jess says

    With the boys I just let them run around naked and they didn’t want to go on the floor so they went in the potty. I think the biggest advice is to wait until they are ready but not to wait too long either.

  66. lisa kay says

    When they tell you there diaper is full they are ready to be trained.
    Then keep the potty handy and have them sit alot and reward them..=)

  67. Vicki Wurgler says

    we used rewards

  68. Em Ma says

    Rewards really worked well for us. We’d use a sticker everytime he used the potty and if he didn’t have any accidents all day he got to pick a piece of candy from the candy jar.

  69. Rachel C says

    I just let my kids potty train when they are ready. They have all decided when to do it on their own and we haven’t had any trouble.

  70. Waiting until the child is ready is key. We find that reading and talking about it before the process begins helps cover plenty of questions our children have.

  71. Arthur Caudill says

    Waiting to the child is ready and taking to potty when you go.

  72. JLin says

    sticker if they use the potty

  73. Jennifer Tilson says

    Have them sit down on the potty every hour.

  74. Amanda Alvarado says

    Letting them run around naked has always worked for us!

  75. betsy says

    being consistent

  76. gianna borden says

    giving a treat after the child goes potty or tells you they need to go potty!!!

  77. Rochel S says

    You need to be patient and have lots of rewards/incentives!

  78. Amanda Hoffman says

    have a reward chart

  79. Ashley Agner says

    Have a sticker chart

  80. i heard that putting a cheerio in the toilet and letting a boy try to “hit” it will help them with potty training lol 🙂

  81. Leela says

    Offer a treat.

  82. Kimberly Schotz says

    My daughter was very motivated by a sticker chart

  83. Eileen Richter says

    Best tip was not to force…they have to be ready for it!

  84. nickie says

    Best tip be patient and Don’t compare a child’s progress to another.

  85. Sara says

    To encourage them to go every fifteen minutes until they get the hang of it

  86. Shayna says

    I am in the process of trying to potty train my son and I would say that you definitely have to be consistent and patient 🙂 It can be frusterating at times.

  87. Cynthia R says

    We did a reward system but also didn’t push.

  88. Daisy says

    Have a sticker chart

  89. e michelle says

    let the boys pee outside!

  90. April Brenay says

    its just as hard to train how to pee standing up and sitting down

  91. Rebecca Orr says

    With our son, we told him we had no diapers left (which was true) and told him that it was time to use the potty. He watched his dad and I urinate enough times, that he knew what to do. He had a few accidents of both varieties and quickly learned that if he didn’t want to mess on the floor (which he didn’t of course) that he would have to use the potty. It worked like a charm for him. He had just turned 3. With our daughter, we have been more lax. I don’t know why either. But I can tell you that she is very vocal and can tell us at age 2 that she needs to go and when she has gone. (Our son had no interest in talking until he was 3 and even then, didn’t really want to express his need to use the bathroom). She tells us when she needs to go, but she has accidents when we go out of the house without a diaper on. She is not completely potty trained yet though.

  92. Debra Holloway says

    I used praise and stickers.

  93. Helen Keeler says

    M & M’s are a great incentive. It work well with Dorie.

  94. Heather B says

    Patience is the biggest key. Each child is different.

  95. Lynn S says

    Be persistent and give rewards!

  96. janna says

    reward system and patience

  97. jose benavides says

    I heard you have to show them how and explain to them ..

  98. Tamar says

    The 3 day potty training method worked very well for my son.

  99. Amanda B says

    I think the biggest thing that I learned from potty training my son is that you need to wait until the child is ready and willing to participate in the process. I kind of pushed potty training on him and it back fired and took a long time before we were successful. I should have waiting until he was more interested.

  100. jenn giannetto says

    my oldest son did well with ‘potty prizes’ like small toys, tattoos, and stickers. we will have to start soon with my youngest

  101. Ayana Pendergrass says

    Always be patient and give them time to progress

  102. Sara Floyd says

    Let your child dictate the pace!

  103. Sandra VanHoey says

    My best tip is setting an alarm during the daytime and putting them on the potty every 45 minutes

  104. alvina castro says

    you have to wait until they are ready. only then can you truly begin!

  105. Amy W says

    The best tip I received was putting my son in undies, even if he had accidents he started realizing it wasn’t as easy to clean up.

  106. greg says

    no clue…our first child isn’t born yet, but my guess is it should be just don’t give up or get mad about it.

  107. anita says

    be patient and don’t push, especially if you have a stubborn child

  108. Jen F says

    Never get upset about accidents, be patient, offer the potty often.

  109. Jillian T says

    Use a reward system and stay positive.

  110. Francine Anchondo says

    reward chart

  111. Dawn F says

    Let your child show you when he/she is ready. Don’t force it.

  112. Jessica Cox says

    I use a reward system and make sure we celebrate even the smallest trys

  113. I let my kids choose several kinds of big kid underwear with their favorite characters on them, and they all trained easily so they could be able to wear them

  114. Priscilla Benavides says

    I am going to start potty training our daughter for the first time so I could use some good tips myself and reading the comments on this blog post was very helpful, thanks!

  115. Tara Liebing says

    My niece just started potty training and she does such a good job when she’s with me. I do the potty dance when she uses the toilet, we just act silly and she loves it. It’s been about a month and she has been doing great. I told my sister she has to do the potty dance.

  116. Chelsea B. says

    My best tip is not to feel guilty about bribery. I swore Id never be ‘that mom’ but you know what – it worked for me, and that ok!

  117. amy williams says

    When they were old enough I put them in under ware but not to rush them

  118. Lisa V. says

    I always thought praise was the best way to go.

  119. Kristen says

    My son is 2 and at first he LOVED going to the Potty. Now that he knows he HAS to vs. he WANTS to it has become more difficult. But he loves when you make a BIG deal out of him going! High fives, clapping hands, “Great job big boy”, etc. Also when we are out in public if I go into the handicap stall (don’t judge me) he is more incline to go potty with me as well. Good Luck!

  120. Crissa Robertson says

    My doctor just gave me a good tip, “Only do it if it is his idea. Otherwise you just prolong it”

  121. Karla Kachadoorian says

    I used the little potty method with my girls, the cheerios with my son and I always sat in the bathroom and read a story, distraction does work.

  122. Jenny Lloyd says

    the best tip (well 3 tips) that i have heard is to not force the child to potty, to use underwear only and not go back and forth between underwear and diapers and do not punish your child if they have accidents

  123. jenn mcclearn says

    my best tip is to be consistent and take their cues, forcing them to go doesn’t seem to help and only frustrates you as the parent

  124. kelly tillotson says

    we hang low around the house and my trainee is usually bare bottomed–my 2 1/2 year old is potty training right now and doing well—he is my 3rd boy–its the system that has worked for us!

  125. Terri S. says

    My best tip is to reward your child with little things to encourage your child to use the potty. I used stickers for both my son and daughter when they used the potty. Always use words of encouragement and praise. Be patient and relax because you do not want your child to be anxious or tense.

  126. Sharonc says

    Praise! and more Praise! And M and M’s for the occasional treat.
    Wait till the child is ready.

  127. Jill Myrick says

    My best advice is to give your child an incentive for using the potty.
    A sticker chart with a new sticker each time they succeed or a chart for gold stars on the fridge has worked great for us.

    jweezie43[at]gmail[dot]com

  128. Shelly says

    Be patient. Don’t push or it will take longer.

  129. Luna S says

    Read to the while they sit on the potty it will help keep them focused instead of trying to get up and run away.

  130. Joretta Foster says

    Praise! and more Praise

  131. Teresa Thompson says

    We use a reward system.

  132. Lesley F says

    I made it fun for him by putting cheerios in and it would help him aim better

  133. Jessica Ruggiero says

    My best advice is to be patient, all children are different and will be ready on their own time!

  134. Boo Oliver says

    Bribery is my potty training motivation tip. We kept a small plastic piggy bank in the bathroom and rewarded every success (one penny for pee, two for poop)!

  135. Peggy Rydzewski says

    we made a calendar and gave a gold star for number one and a silver for a number two. they enjoy adding the stars.

  136. Virginia Rowell says

    I used the cherrio’s with my son. Throw them in the toilet and aim!

  137. Tanya White says

    We made up a potty training song.

  138. Erica C. says

    The best tip is to be consistent.

  139. Laurie Emerson says

    My best potty training tip is to play some sounds CD’s while they are on the potty. The soothing sounds helps them to relax and go.

  140. Jennifer J says

    Don’t force potty training they will let you know when they are ready.

  141. Amber Porter says

    Having them sit on the training potty everytime I sat on the big potty.

  142. tina reynolds says

    Find a routine that works and stick to it remember to have patience

  143. Christy Colln says

    bribes and talking about it everyday 🙂

  144. Stephanie Galbraith says

    The Cheerios in the toilet for target practice.

  145. Ashley Irby says

    Cheerios are definitely a good tool for aiming!

  146. Jo Ann F says

    I use to use a sticker chart for my kids and now my daughter is trying with her son.
    jofo120 at yahoo dot

  147. Candie L says

    I loved the cheerios idea. Thank you

  148. Lisa L says

    Giving out M&M’s worked with my son!

  149. Erica C says

    Let them lead the way. They will let you know when they are ready.

  150. trixx says

    We took out lots of book from the library about kids using the potty!

  151. Mihaela Day says

  152. Brittney House says

    Cheerios!!
