Hot Mama In The City

Last week I got to have a #SayAdiosToDiapers luncheon with several San Antonio Latina mom bloggers and Jeanette Kaplun from Miami, FL. We sat around the lunch table and discussed are lives as mom's and shared potty training tips and stories. As the conversation about potty training our children continued on, I quickly realized that I wasn't alone in my concerns, fears and stresses about potty training, even if this will be my second time around. I'm a mom with potty training experience but I still have questions and concerns about potty training my son. Even though I've been on this journey before, I'm fully aware that every child is different and the process of potty training can vary from child to child.



Jeanette Kaplun is an award-winning journalist and internationally recognized parenting expert, she has over 17 years of experience on TV, radio, online media and as a published author and conference speaker. Jeanette had so many great tips and useful advice.

Her best tip she offered was that we should wait until our child is ready to be potty trained. If you've potty trained before, you know how true that is. Don't put pressure on you and your child to be potty trained by a certain age or within a certain time frame. Some children will will be ready before they turn two and others may not be fully potty trained until they're older. Also, don't expect them to be trained in a weekend because that's an unrealistic goal but if it happens... lucky you! Placing unnecessary stress on you and your tot can hinder the learning process of potty training.

Pull-Ups Training Pants are proven to deliver more potty training success than diapers. Consistently using Pull Ups Training Pants throughout the entire potty training process, instead of switching back to diapers, will reduce toddler confusion and lead to more success.
