Finally, started toilet training Reese yesterday afternoon. It didn't work. In a span of 2 hours, he wet all three new training pants!!! and also managed to wet a small part of his blanket.
We bought three training pants from Baby loft last weekend. Looks good but kinda pricey. It's RM90+ for 3. We had to because Reese loves to jump on mattresses. We cannot imagine the mess if we don't use training pants which can at least whole 1 pee and less likely to cause a pool of urine on the child's first pee. Yesterday our first attempt. Kept telling him that he will wet his pants if he urinate into his pants. Tell us if he wants to urinate. Of course didn't work. :)
After a good 15 minutes we took him to the toilet and ask him to urinate... he already wet his pants, so wore his 2nd pants and then...gosh... he wanted to play with water and didn't want to come out.... so Reese had a struggle with daddy and when he is out... he said shh shh... daddy got conned. Hahah.... Reese wanted to play with water....no shh shh.... then after a struggle, he throw his major tantrum and cried for a very long time...maybe 10 to 15 minutes. then settle down. phew...
Gave him milk to calm him.... This time... again I kept asking him.. actually very tiring and stressful..... :) After a few rounds... took him to the other toilet..I tried to hold his penis and help him pee into the potty....didn't work... he slapped my hand away... then again wanted to play water...I quickly took him out of the toilet...he protested but it was ok....
Again, kept asking him and finally the 3rd attempt, he followed me to the toilet... while I was trying to take off his pants... he started to urinate...and poor me, his urine spilled into my hands and also his pants... so there goes the second pants.
Again reminded him... he needs to tell.....but really.... it just doesn't work.... So the third and last pants... played on the floor sitting on the blanket... in less than 30 minutes... (been asking every 10 minutes or so) he got up with me and to my horror... he already wet his pants..and it also wet part of the blanket....gggggrrrr....
That's the end of the potty training session for the day. No more pants. Actually I am glad to put on his diaper.... hahha....
About the training pants:
1.It's difficult to wear especially when the kid's thighs are a little wet or damp. Friction makes it harder to wear.
2.It's super difficult to dry! It took 3 days to dry when we first wash it.
3.It's not really effective on Reese. The wetness didn't bother him.
Questions for Mummies:
1. Does your child (boy) stand to pee or sit on the potty to pee?
2. Do you hold his little penis?
3. How do you train your child?
4. Anyone uses training pants like I do?

Darren stands to pee and sit down to poo in the potty. (It's better to train them to stand to pee coz when they are in the public toilet next time, it is easier/cleaner to get him pee standing up.) I did not let him do it in the toilet as kids will sure attracted to the water inside the toilet.
I just place the potty at a corner of a living area and when he needs to pee, he'll go there and point at the potty and pull his pants.
I never use training pants. Just buy more panties and let him wear panties. Prepare 1 to 2 big old towels to clean up the mess for first 1 week. Constantly ask him wanted to pee or not and no need to hold his penis...I just utter "shhh..shhh.."..only. Just hold the potty near his penis (use the traditional potty).
One day sure won't work..u need lots of patience. U got to continue doing this for at least 1 week to see improvement. If no improvement for about 5 days, maybe he is not ready yet.
You can check back my archive to see how i potty trained darren.
my boy sits on the potty..still young, no need to hold the penis yet..
I don;t use training pants. I trained him when he was still using his cloth nappy..
