We've taken baby steps with Ethan's potty training for the best part of this year. We've tried to encourage and not force
things and to be fair, whilst he's still in nappies, I feel like this way of
doing things has helped him come around to the idea in his own time.
After a period of ignoring the potty, we are
now in a routine where he will use it every evening at least once for a number
one, and he's telling us more regularly that he needs a wee when we're out and
about, so all is going well.
It's just the consistency now and also
encouraging him to use the potty for more than a wee. He's done it a few times
at nursery but again, not consistently, so I think now is the time to really
focus on this and get a training routine in place.
And that's why I'm joining in with the Dry
Like Me 'Potty Training Live' programme that's currently underway.
Dry Like Me is the new, smarter way to
potty train. The award-winning, handy little potty training pads turn all pants
into potty training pants by adding an absorbent layer to give your little one
extra confidence when learning to live without the nappy, and help to ease the
pressures on you.
To celebrate the launch of their free summer potty training programme, Potty Training Live!, Dry Like Me has given me a ‘Smarter
Way to Potty Train’ pack worth £17 to giveaway.
The packs contain each variety of award-winning Dry Like Me pads and a lovely reward chart and stickers – all the tools you need to help your little one achieve potty training success!
Dry Like Me pads help your child to
recognise their body’s cues for the loo, a key part of potty training.
While they are learning, they capture small accidents and so reduce the mess
and stress.
Soft and comfortable, they are suitable
for children of all.
TIME TO START?
Research shows that around the age
of two years old is the best time to start potty
training. In fact, nappies could be ‘masking’ that your child is
ready. Look for the clues…
* Can your child communicate with you?
* Does he/she have good physical skills,
such as being able to walk and climb stairs?
* Can he/she take direction, like being
shown how to wash hands?
If you answer yes to these and your
little one is around two or more then don’t be afraid – go for it!
Sign up for Potty Training Live!
Jude and Di, the mums who created Dry
Like Me, have lots of tips to help with potty training.
One of their top tips is that, before
you start, begin teaching the routine of going to the toilet. Take your
child into the bathroom with you to ‘practice’ everything from turning on the
light to waving off the poo, washing hands and closing the door.

and special offers go to www.drylikeme.com.
Dry Like Me are available from most major
supermarkets both online and in-store, on Amazon, and directly from Dry Like Me
in their online potty training shop.
