Mommy Moment Time
In the last month, you may have noticed a lack in content for me. There's a lot that happened in this time, including potty training! I was constantly being pulled between really wanting to hone in on it without making it an unpleasant experience for my daughter. I had looked up every way imaginable to the 3 day potty bootcamp right up until asking my pediatrician what more I could do.
For mommy's who are getting ready to enter this stage, I'm going to tell you what my pediatrician told me. "What would she do if you just put on the underwear?"
I hesitated (more for the fact that I was afraid I'd spend weeks cleaning up my floors) but followed her advice. Just to see what happened. Sure enough, a day later she picked up on what to do. If she wasn't ready, she wasn't ready and we could always go back to steps that were more at her level. But in this case, we didn't have to.
Don't be afraid of potty training, babes. You're doing a good job and you know your babies the best. You know what will help them succeed, what will scare them, and what their capabilities are. There's tons of advice people will throw at you, and you can choose to listen to all of it, take it all in, and apply what you think will best suit you and your babies.
You got this, mama. Keep going. π
Have a great weekend!
