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!

Lesley M says
Unfortunately I do not have any tips. I am struggling right now with this. My 3 year old has no interest what so ever. I know he will eventually be potty-trained, but right now I am struggling.

I honestly do not have one

Brandy says
These are all great tips to potty train with success. My niece will be potty training soon .. I can’t wait to see how well she does!
laura ari says
Don’t rush the potty training! Your child will let you know when they are ready. If you start too soon, you’ll just be fighting them the whole way.
Ashley N says
Be patient!! Accidents happen, but don’t be negative, just tell them it’s ok and have them help clean up.
Julie Simpson says
My son was 4 and still going number 2 in his underwear. It took me 4 days once I committed to be serious and consistent.

Be consistent and always give praise and rewards!
Lisa Ehrman says
don’t start too young, and don’t rush the child.
Dee Lafrenz says
Have patience, and make it fun. I put the potty chair in the bathroom, then I would go and say how easy it is. My son was trained by the time he was a year old. It can be done. This would be for my grand daughter. She will enjoy this! This is a wonderful set!
Ashley Trail says
My tip is be patient, try to be as consistent as possible and don’t be too hard on yourself and your baby. Every child is different, it’s important to remember that 🙂 Best of luck!
