Where to Begin with Potty Training

My daughter will be 24 months old this Saturday and my husband and I think now would be a good time to start trying to potty train her. I just have no clue how to begin. She is great at telling us that she has had a BM, but doesn't say much when she is wet (unless she is soaked). She has on occassion stated that she has to go potty and has tinkled a few times in the stool. Before we switched daycares she was actually having her BM in the stool. That has stopped. When she says she has to go potty we put her on the stool even if we...

Best Book for Potty Training?

Hi Moms, I am about to start potty training my 2 1/2 year old DD and need advice on how to do it. Is there a really good book out there that anyone could recommend? I'm just confused where to start - like do I put her in pull ups or make a big deal of buying some fun underwear? She has been using her potty at night at home on a sort of regular basis, but we just let her run around naked - so how do I start to show her how to do it with clothes on?

Peeing Through Pullups

My son is 16-months old, and weighs almost 26 pounds. He has been wearing Huggies-brand overnight pullups at night for a little over two months. We usually use cloth diapers during the day, unless we are going to be out of the house for several hours and then we put him in Huggie's Naturals or Earth's Best disposables. My son pees so much at night that he has needed the heavier overnight-style disposables since he was probably about 8 months old so that he wouldn't pee out and wake up in the middle of the night. We are not potty...

Potty Seat Vs. Potty Chair

My 2.5 year old will sit on the toilet with his potty seat on it and read, occasionally he will pee. He is not afraid to sit on it at all. I have been toying with the idea of getting a potty chair for the floor because he can't get on the big potty without us putting him on it. Even when he tries to use a stool, the potty seat moves around and he just can't get on there. Would I be digressing to go from the big toilet down to a potty chair? How hard would it be to move him back to the toilet when he got ready if he was used to the little...
