How To Potty Train This Summer with Pampers Easy Ups
It’s one of my “Mommy Moments” I am MOST proud of. My son was fully potty trained by age 2. Yes, that’s despite all of the nay-sayers that claimed boys are the most difficult ones to potty train. Cabbage Patch Dance commencing!
And the time is finally upon us. My little almost 17 month old baby girl will begin her potty training journey this summer. With no school schedules and a relaxed atmosphere, now is a GREAT time to start great habits! Want to know how I’ll be potty training this summer? I have a few of my BEST tips that worked for my son!
1. Pull Out the Potty Early
Parents, feel free to pull out that potty now. Give your kids time to explore, discover, even use the potty the wrong way! Let them know that the potty is nothing to be afraid of.
2. Be on Watch for Those Signs of Readiness
Does your little one love to watch everyone else go potty?
Do they run to a certain “pooping spot?”
Do they notice when their diaper gets wet?
Are they trying to pull off their diaper when they go?
Be sure to look for your child’s tale-tell signs that they’re ready to potty train! My daughter has already started showing interest. At a bright 16 months of age, she loves to “help” flush the toilet and hand out toilet paper (even when it’s NOT potty time)!
3. Have the Right Potty Training Tools
No doubt, when it comes to potty training, you need to be armed with the right tools! Besides a potty chair, having great training pants can ease the transition from diapers to underwear. We have a stock of Pampers Easy Ups on hand and ready for potty training action! What makes Pampers Easy Ups great for potty training?
- Outstanding Leak Protection – even overnight – so we can have nonstop summer fun!
- An Absorbent Core that holds up to 25% more than the other leading training pant
- A Soft Underwear-like look and feel
- FUN prints and graphics that your toddler will love to wear
4. Use a Method and Stick to It + Don’t Forget to PARTY!
Every child is different and only you know what will work best. Let them know that you are serious about potty training and aren’t willing to budge or cave. But also don’t forget to praise EVERY time that they go potty! My son and I had our own potty dance with clapping and booty shaking. When we finally graduated to full on potty trained boy, I let him pick out his next set of underwear and got him a small prize 🙂 Achievements and milestones like these should be celebrated!
5. Take time out to enjoy summer!
Don’t let potty training rule the day. Make sure to take time to get those kids outside and enjoy the summer too! Potty training doesn’t have to be stressful during the summer months. Have FUN and allow both of you relax, smile, and love!

Have lots of patience. Each child learns on their own schedule. Don’t expect them all to be easy or hard to train.
Cassandra Eastman says
Just to have patience and wait until they show signs of readiness.. my son was so easy to train, we just started potty training our 2 1/2 year old daughter and she isn’t giving in as easy 🙂
Stephanie Mago-Eagle says
Have a lot of patience and make it fun for the child and let them go at their own pace.
Nancy says
Once they show readiness, I like to potty train in summer with lots of liquid to drink, a potty on a washable surface, as few clothes as possible to get in the way, and a few days of focusing on potty training and setting them up for success . Good luck!
Jessica says
We’re still working on potty training. My best tip is have a lot of patience and it will happen.
Kimberly says
I’m currently in the process of potty training my first child, so I don’t have very many tips yet! I try to be a little silly and keep it from getting too serious and scary for her.
Jamie Houck-Bell says
First time here, but we are making it fun & exciting!
Natalie F says
Be patient and realize it is THEIR achievement and not yours. We pumped our son full of water so he would understand how it FEELS to need to go. And then we would rush him to the potty.
Rita Spratlen says
My grandson is 3 and is quite stubborn. He is almost there. Thanks for the great tips!
Rita Spratlen says
For boys sink the cheerios. Aiming at something helps. Do not make a big deal when they don’t do it right!
heather baker says
With my oldest she really did well with a timer. We started with every 5 minutes and as she got more aware it was further and further apart until she didn’t need it. I think it took us 2 weeks.
Jennifer Pittman says
Don’t give up! I am having a time with my second little one! But we are working on it!
Rachel says
Let the child decide when they are ready.
Sarah Hayes says
introduce the potty early but take it at your childs pace and be consistent
Natalie S says
Be patient and consistent! The child will get it!
Heather B says
I think the best tip would be not to Push your child. Wait till they are ready!
Michelle Castagne says
Be consistent and patient.
Colleen Maurina says
Try to make potty training fun with lots of positive reinforcement. M & M’s work great for a little reward!
Traci says
Take your time and we use Fruit Loops for targets!
Carlene R. says
For a boy, start out by having them pee outside. Let them see how far up they can spray and what they can aim at. Made doing it lots of fun and made it easy to transition to aiming into the toilet.
