I wasn't a stay at home mom and my oldest was a total daddy's girl but it was a HUGE transition for her to have a new sibling. I'd keep putting him on before bath and whatnot but I wouldn't force the issue at all. That can actually make them more apprehensive about going.<br /><br />Once you're ready to "bite the bullet" and full-on potty train, I recommend not doing the pull-ups thing and just go with pants or pantsless for a few days. We had a lot of luck with pushing fluids (fully-loaded juice when she normally gets diluted juice, super chocolatey milk) for a few days and taking her every 10-20 min. After a few days, she was much better about recognizing what it felt like. I recommend Albert be home while you do this, if you do this, to help with Q or the baby since you're going to be going back and forth a lot and/or cleaning up messes.<br /><br />Babycenter.com has a lot of good advice. You can get tips of what are signs your child is ready, etc. on there. Good luck! Poop potty training is going to drive me crazy...she has totally decided to control if/when she goes in the potty and she downright refuses to go.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02002377814052496683noreply@blogger.com
