I think I will put her on the potty (with Finn watching) more often.

They say that seeing a new sibling pottied, and helping with the pottying, can help keep an older sibling on track. Don't know from experience, as we're just now expecting our first, but I plan to try EC at least some of the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504357668435859997.post-42921823180796221672011-04-08T07:34:31.399-07:002011-04-08T07:34:31.399-07:00It is so interesting, this has happened to almost ...It is so interesting, this has happened to almost every family I know who had a young toddler and a new baby. Some of my friends are going through the same thing as you are right now. <br />I wish I had wise advice for you. Hang in there! Have you check the forums of Mothering.commune? I am sure there is tons of advice on there.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489300478217150508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504357668435859997.post-72701663802371462372011-04-07T21:21:27.709-07:002011-04-07T21:21:27.709-07:00We went through this with our older son after Evan...We went through this with our older son after Evan was born. I actually expected it. I knew he would come around eventually, and he did, although at 5.5 he still can't make it through the night. So yes, I buy size 5/6 pull ups for bedtime. We have tried going without, but night after night, week after week, wet bed. I figure he will outgrow it. I don't plan on sending him off to college with pull ups!Getrealmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03845080109898768505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504357668435859997.post-72669429720121888082011-04-07T13:00:45.088-07:002011-04-07T13:00:45.088-07:00It is amazing the ways you change as a parent when...It is amazing the ways you change as a parent when you've got more children!<br />Yes, yes- my daughter was all potty trained when son #1 was born and she had a relapse that lasted a month. We simply went back to diapers and went with it. She was about 3.<br />Son #2 was 3/12 when the baby was born, had been potty trained about 6 months. He didn't have a relapse, but suddenly would not poop on the potty, and even held it in until he'd get a stomach ache. This lasted about 2 weeks.<br />So yes of course this is a phase, but when you're right in the middle of it, it sure feels as though it's never going to end! My only advice is keep it low key, go with the flow, it'll be over soon. The less stressful it becomes for all of you the easier and quicker it'll be. <br />We continued to use our cloth diapers and cloth training pants because our children hated the feeling of being wet after they were already potty trained. Would this help your son? Our children are also all big for their ages.<br />Good luck!!!Mama Ash Grovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14477958069982028795noreply@blogger.com
