Yes, you read that right – three days to potty train twins.

You think you can do it? Whether you are working to potty train twins or one child these tips will help you find success.

Pick up the essentials and clear your calendar because potty training boot camp is about to begin.

Potty training was something that terrified me because it all seemed too overwhelming and I hate mess, especially bodily fluid mess!

So I set aside a weekend, got the potties, the wipes and the books ready and I decided it was time to potty train. My boys had shown signs of readiness so I knew that the time was right. Not sure if your child is? Take the Pull Ups® Readiness Quiz The quiz will give you customized tips and advice based on the Potty Personality their child most resembles: a Squirrel, Bear Cub, Puppy, Owl or Turtle. So cute!

What do you need to get potty train? The essentials and fun rewards for your potty training adventure and pretty much anything else you’ll need for a weekend where you don’t plan on leaving the house. And don’t forget the Pull-Ups® they are an essential part of the process.

Potty Train Twins in Three Days

My plan was to set the potties in the living room ready and handy so they were at the centre of playtime. Since it was in the Winter the boys wore long sleeve t-shirts, and no pants. Yep, no pants. That way the boys could use the potty when they were ready and learned to use the potty when they needed to. There were a few accidents but not nearly as many as I thought there would be.  At nighttime the boys wore Pull-Ups® to help prevent any nighttime accidents. We followed this routine of no pants during the day and Pull-Ups® at night for three days and it was remarkable. Boys were in the routine and rhythm of using the potty and loved the reward chart. They were excited and proud of their accomplishments.

Potty Training Progress Chart

When Monday came the boys were back to pre-school so they wore their Pull-Ups® and were confident that if they didn’t’ make it in time they were covered. I was so thankful for Pull-Ups® and the independence it gave my boys both during the day and at nighttime.

To celebrate all things Potty Training we are giving away two amazing Pull-Ups® PottyPartnership Toolkits.

    My best tip is to be consistent. Don’t go back and forth from training them one day and then putting them back in diapers the next. They need to know that the potty is now part of their daily routine. Having some special treats or stickers also helps a lot to reward them for using the potty.

    My best tip is when you first start, take them every half hour whether they agree they need to go or not, they will get so used to going that you can stretch that time out.

    My best tip is not to push or force it. Let them do it on their own time and don’t worry so much about it. Some kids learn early, some take a little longer, and that is okay. We are all ready on our time schedule, not others.

    My best tip for potty training is to let your child take the lead. With my first she was ready way before I was, so it was good she showed interest and we were able to potty train her early based on her lead. With my second she is much more resistant and I have learned that she will train when she is ready because she is certainly not going to before then!

    I am actually in the middle of trying to potty training my 3.5 year old. She is autistic and doesn’t like change in her routine. It has been a bit of a struggle and when in her diaper or underwear she will still go to the bathroom. Maybe the Fisherprice potty and the potty book would help her along this journey!
