Any kind of natural, absorbant fabric--such as all the cottons you mentioned-- should let them know when they are wet. Naturally the less padded the diaper the more wet they will feel (and be)--so you might want to aim for a less...

Read a book to her while she sits on the potty chair? Or reserve some fascinating new toy just for potty time? Maybe practice with dolls or let her play on it with clothes on for a few days? Other than that, I would just say, go with...

I know you said you don't like prefolds, but I always found them great with my newborn. Pad-folding is quick and works great till they start crawling. If you plan on changing frequently you can even cut the prefolds into thirds to...

Can you sit her on the potty before the accident happens? Using timing? Suggest a favourite book, toy, snack, or reward just for sitting there a couple of minutes.

Could he be trying to tell you that he just doesn't have time for the potty right now? What if you try backing off instead of stepping up the pressure and see if it sorts itself out? Or maybe install a consequence for accidents--not...

I don't think it matters what you call it. You can incorporate a lot of EC elements into a toddler's potty learning. For example, when I potty trained DD at 24 months, I took responsibility for getting her to the potty in time for the...

Reading a book worked great for us, if your problem is getting her to actually sit on the potty you might try something like that. If your problem is that she will sit on it but not actually go.... well I would reward her anyway just...

Quote: He is one of those babies that never seem to mind a soiled or wet diaper. That's why I am not sure what to do. I have tried: 1. Telling him to sign me the potty since he knows the potty sign, but he doesn't. 2....

does your LO soil the diaper? I'd be surprised, how would he know what it is for if he's never used one? If so have you tried using cloth? The wet feel might put him off going in it.

can you potty first, nurse second? otherwise I would proceed with the NCSS and leave the pottying out if it's too much work to do both together, because if you could get her nursing less at night, she might not even need to pee at night.
