Pregnancy Info HOME

There is no reason to wait until they are two. Maybe just talk to her about going in her own potty or the big one. See how she reacts. Don't get discouraged when she is ready she will let you know. Just make sure she knows the potty is the place to take care of business.

Your baby is ready she has the concept, you just need to recognise the signs that she is pooping and get her to the potty before she does it in the diaper.

The best way to keep the diaper on the baby, when it's really necessary, is to put it on backwards.

or perhaps another way to keep the diaper on is to put overalls or somthing else where she has trouble getting the clothes off herself. If she cant get her clothes off then she cant get to the diaper. Or maybe incourage her by placing "big girl" undies over top her diaper. Or go ahead and start by buying the potty training diapers. Im not sure what else. We havent reached that stage yet, the oldest is 13 months and the youngest is 3 months.

She's to young to potty train. AND BY THE WAY IS THIS THE SAME PERSON THAT "POPS" HER LITTLE 15 MONTH OLD IN THE HAND FOR GETTING INTO THINGS? WHY DON'T YOU TEACH YOURSELF TO STOP HITTING HER!!!!! KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF< SHE'S ONLY A BABY!!

Yup, I think this is the same person. So you love to pop your daughter. Honey, go to some parenting cla__ses. You need some. Popping/hitting your daughter is not cool. Matter of fact its abusive. Learn new ways of teaching your daughter right or wrong. Please get some help before the next one come along. How older are you anyways?

Sweety, your daughter is acting completely NORMAL for her age. You are going to need to accept defeat in some areas and allow her to act her age. Sometimes that means putting her diaper back on her multiple times a day, if you can't find a solution. If you can accept this as normal, maybe your frustration will decrease. Remember, she isn't intentionally trying to tourcher you. Besides, I would be taking my diaper off too, wouldn't you? They look awfully uncomfortable and I feel bad that my 4 month old has to wear one all day. Who wouldn't hate a sweaty hot diaper? Toddlers are no different. They are little human beings and have feelings too:)

And I agree about this "popping". Please don't underestimate the fact that popping is acutally hitting. You are setting her up to hit others in the future. You can always ask yourself 2 questions when discipling - 1) Is this form of discipline working? 2) Is this what I want to teach my child? --- If you can answer yes to both, it is probably a suitable form. If you cannot, why continue that style? What good will it do for you and your child?

Sorry to say...This is way Teens should wait to have kids. A teen mom is not mentally ready to care for a baby. I hope you your daughter's well being, you would take my advice about Parenting cla__ses. You may even meet other women who is going through this too. Think about it. You will get more overwhelmed when the next one come along.

I thought about some sort of mom support group as well. It would have been nice to have other moms to share stories with, and to use for support. I am sure there is something for you Angelina. We all need help sometimes. Each and every one of us. Child development cla__ses are useful. I took mine in college and never would have known about the lack of impulse control in babies. Knowing that particular fact will help me during times of frustration.

Umm did i ask for opinions about me popping or hitting my kids? Im not a bad mom because im a teen.Or because i hit my child.Just because you all think it is wrong dont mean i should have waited because im a teen.If you dont like that i hit my child, i dont care.Be a grown woman and dont say nothing at all if you dont have nothing nice to say.I asked if anyone thought my child might be ready to potty train not is it ok to hit my daughter.To everyone who focused on if my child was ready or not to potty train, Thanks for your advice.Ill take it into consideration and try to see if shes ready.

By the way im 17 and im 24 weeks pregnant with my second child.If you think im a bad mom, then ask cps to investigate.ill be more the glad to give you my address and the number to the nearest cps office.

Angelina, I never called you a bad mom. You asked "Is there anything else i could do to get her to realize she cant run around peeing everywhere?" I answered you directly and honestly. There are better ways to teach your child the lessons you want than to hit. Besides, didn't you ask that on the other post? You wanted to know about you hitting your daughter with the expectation that she not hit you.

You wrote two posts about popping your child. Popping is hitting...We all know that. You can't handle the first!! Why did you get pregnant with the second to pop whenever you get upset. Learn to control your temper before someone do call CPS on you.......17 with two kids, Wow!!! I hope you have help. I am 29 with two. Some days are hard for me. Just by your post, you need Parenting cla__ses. I don't think you are mature enough to have two kids. I'm sorry, but that is what I think. When I was 17, I was in my second year of College. I was 20 and married when I had my first. Yes, I was a young mom with a very ill child. So, I know how hard life can be. Talking with other parents(support groups) help me. I think one will help you also. Think about before the popping turn into beatings and name calling.

Sorry Angelina but I agree with KEEKEE and the other moms who say "no" to popping, hitting , whatever. And yeah, if your having trouble with one now, you should've not gotten pregnant again, especially at 17. That's crazy. Have you heard of birth control?

Liz, well said!!!! I was no trying to be as blunt....heeehee.....Birth control is a great option for you.
