My kid likes the baby bjorn too
He also likes the padded potty insert on the big toilet (I hold him so he doesn't fall, but he actually sits). He seems to like support when he goes potty. Even when we're out in public and I'm holding him under the thighs, he still requires contact with the seat. He doesn't like to be held over things like has been described. When I hold him like that, I rest his butt on the seat and then he's happy. And mine is a big guy too, so it's easier on me
For night, we put him in diapers. I *try* not to rely on them but we still have at least one wet dipe a night. It's a really delicate balance for us. If I try to pee him too early he cries cuz I'm waking him. If I wait too long, then he wets his dipe. And I don't wake easily so I'm not really "all there" either, lol! But when I do manage to pee him at night, he then goes back to sleep more solidly, so it's nice
I can't remember which thread, but Heather asked which dipes people use? We use Liz's cloth at night. It's my fav, trim, snap dipe
If we're out of those, I just use any fitted snap or velcro dipe I have lying around (tho I have more Liz hemp in the mail as we speak so I'll be a happy camper soon!). During the day when we go out we now use fitted dipes with no cover! For awhile we used prefolds and proraps, but we've had so very few misses when out, we go coverless now. I use Country cozy trainers. They pull up and down but are as absorbant as a thin dipe so good enuf for a miss w/o getting the pants wet. At home during the day he now wears Gerber training pants. If he has pants over those and we miss, they will get wet, but they do soak a bit, so it's not straight on the carpet at least. And he looks so adorable in underpants
