I have been trying my hardest since my daughter turned two to get rid of her night time bottle (security issues!) and have her potty trained because I plan to go back to work and she will have to attend pre-school. Shes 2 1/2 now, and still no luck. The bottle issue is pretty easy, I sent her for a weekend at my dads and told them not to give her a bottle, upon her return home I told her the bottles are all gone now because they are for babies and she is a big girl who can use a cup if she needs a drink at night. The potty training is a bit more difficult. I have tried pull ups, taking her every 1/2 hr, making her just wear s, treats, bribes, scolds, I even let her be to tell me when she had to go. She will do a pee in the toilet when I take her but forget #2 and if she'll even tell me she's went before shes ripping off her clothes telling me she's wet. Its frustrating but I know if I keep taking her every hr or so and reminding her to TELL mommy before the pee pee comes it should work out. Its true daycare does help too with the training. I had a friend who had given up hope when her kid was 3 and not trained. Now shes 4 and goes on her own like a big kid. Good luck to all moms going thru this I know how you feel and I know im not alone. Name: Email: Subject
