subject: Ditching Diapers - Potty Training Problems, Trends and Suggestions [print this page] As for the author's children, well, unless something changes, we will try to put them in cloth, traditional training pants. There will be messes, but putting them back in diapers, regardless of how many times we tell them they are not "diapers" does not seem like it will achieve the desired results. A key problem with this exists though, and if day care workers are undermining potty training efforts with pull-ups, then how will they act when a child has an accident in underwear? At least we would have a chance with a pull-up though. Unfortunately, I do not have the answers at this point, but I know what I will try to do in the future. We have two years before we jump off this bridge, but with triplets, my personal goal is to eliminate diapers, and the massive expense that goes along with this as soon as possible. Maybe we will just take a week off from work and try one of those potty-training boot camps, but from what I know, potty-training is a long, difficult process, where consistency is the paramount key. Switching from diapers, and maintaining a diaper-free existence for the child should achieve success I hope.
