Although I've been a member here a while, I've only recently become a master lurker
: So, I'll start w/a quickie intro
My name is Cory and I live in a southern 'burb of Chicago. I have 3 kiddos ~ Takoda is 5, Sagan is 3, and Eiley is almost 2. We are also expecting our second little princess in September. I always wanted to CD, just always thought it was Gerber prefolds & vinyl pants
Sooooo, we finally took the plunge and began CDing exclusively in November. Of course, we all love it ~ especially DH WOO HOO!!!
Now, onto my question. Sagan turned 3 in January and has absolutely NO DESIRE to use the toilet and I have NO DESIRE to force him. Over the past month, his poop has gotten BAD!!!! To the point that I contemplate tossing the CD. It's just plain gross. So, do any of you CD one and not the other?
I know some cloth diaper one and not the other.. I only have one little guy so I can't say. You can always do a gel free disposable brand like Tushies or 7th Generation.
I'm not much help, but I will say that at this age, when they do decide to PT, it's nearly instantaneous. Back in April, I posted here asking who had the oldest non-PT'ed child (turned out it was me, lol), and not two weeks later, Julia told me she wanted to wear undies. She's had maybe three accidents (all in the first few days) since then. So maybe if you hang in there just a bit longer, Sagan will surprise you soon
I only CD one, but Noah has had the kind of poop that makes me want to toss a diaper every now and then, LOL. Thank God for the mini-shower. Welcome to the board, I'm new too.
Just wanted to say hang in there...from what I've heard, cd'd babies potty-train earlier than 'sposie kids, so you might want to just "put up with it" for a little longer.
And, Karen!!! Thanks for the ray of hope LOLOL!!! I'd love to have him in Montessori this fall, but at this rate I don't see it happening!!! AND WTG JULIA!!!!!
Although my cd'd kiddo is only 6 months, I was going to also recommend the mini-shower! It is great. And when yours does potty train/learn, it's great to wash out the little potty (if you use one) and or underwear for those uh oh's. And,
welcome to the diapering board and congrats on your soon-to-be-here arrival!
