Potty Training Baby

I started to potty train Baby 3 days ago. The first day went quite smoothly, though she kept going to the potty every 5 minutes! The potty is placed conveniently in the living room for her to wee wee anytime she wants haha! The second and third day, she kept having small accidents. She would wet her panties throughout the day but as soon as she wet her panty, she would tell me "mummy I shee shee". I hope tomorrow onwards she will have a better control of her bladder and will have fewer accidents.

Oh No Alycia, You Peed In Your Pants Again!

She just did, while taking her afternoon nap. I had asked her twice during her nap if she'd like to wee wee but she just shoke her head. All of a sudden, she told me "mummy, i want to wee wee". I told her to quick hurry to the toilet but she told me "i already wee wee here". Oh no, Alycia, you peed in your pants again but luckily, she realized it fast enough and managed to hold the remaning pee. I quickly brought her to the toilet to let her finish off emptying her bladder. Luckily this time the pee was not heavy enough to soak the mattress, pillows and bolster and the plastic mat beneath her prevented the pee from wetting the bedsheet. Phew... else there will be another round of major laundry session for my maid tomorrow.

I Don't Want To Wear Diapers

For the past few days, Sherilyn refused to wear her diapers during her afternoon nap. She would struggle and protest when I tried to put the diaper on her. I think she's ready to wean herself off diapers. But lazy mummy me isn't ready, especially during the night time as I just don't have the energy and enthusiasm to pull her up a few times in a night to pee in a potty. I think I'll give myself till the first quarter of next year to train both the gals to go totally diaperless.

Big Pee Mess

Alycia made a huge mess yesterday when she accidentally peed on the mattress during her afternoon nap. She can normally hold her bladder for at least 2 - 2.5 hours during her afternoon nap but yesterday, I guess she must have been too exhausted since we were out for lunch. Her bolster, pillows, bedsheet and the new mattress were soaked with her pee. I even had to discard a new pillow as it was drippling with her pee. Though there was a layer of plastic mat beneath her and another layer of plastic sheet beneath the bedsheet, everything still got drenched. Her output must be a heavy one! I think plastic sheets and mats are not good enough. I should revert to disposable water-proof papers from Pureen as they absorb water which plastic sheets don't. My maid has to do do a major laundry session today!

Diaper-Free Accident

It has been more than 2 weeks since Alycia has been off diapers during her daytime nap and so far, she's been good and has not wet the mattress. Yesterday was the first accident. I normally wake her up 1 hour into her nap to bring her to the potty that's placed next to the mattress on the floor. However, yesterday I got a shock when I touched the mattress and it was soaked! And she had slept out of the plastic mat placed beneath her. The mattress was totally drenched with her pee and since the mattress has been soiled with pee and puke several times already, I threw the mattress away. Today, she has to sleep on my mil's Japanese Tatami mat and Sherilyn has to sleep on the baby-size mattress from the playpen. I better go and check Alycia and bring her to the potty now. I have no more spare mattresses!

Alycia Is Off Diapers During Naptime Today

As I was in a good mood this afternoon, I decided to try letting Alycia go diaperless during her afternoon nap. After the naptime story, I asked Alycia if she'd like to sleep without her diaper today. To my surprise, Alycia nodded and said "I don't want to wear diaper". I then praised her and put her potty next to the mattress on the floor and told her that if she wants to wee wee, she has to do it on her potty. I also placed a piece of water-proof paper on top of the water-proof plastic mat, just in case of accidents.

An hour later, I woke Alycia up and brought her to pee in her potty. She wasn't cranky at all but was smiling proudly as I gave her lots of praises, hugs and kisses. An hour later again, as she was still deep in her sleep, I whispered this into her ear "baby, you are not wearing diaper, please don't wee wee in your pants ok?" to which Alycia nodded with her eyes closed. She woke up half an hour later with her pants still dry! I am so proud of her. Hopefully Alycia will be diaperless too at night real soon. That can save me so much money on her expensive XXL Mamy Poko diapers and XXL Drypers diapers.
