1. Pampers...they smell the best and they are the best!
2. Only use pull ups for bedtime. They will not potty train as well if you have them using pull ups throughout the day.
2. I work with my kids all day long taking them potty. You have to constantly be asking and they will always tell you no. Bribery gets them on the potty. Once they go for you, reward with a lot of applauding and praise. Keep it up. Don't go back once you've started. They will take twice as long to train. Don't use a pull up during the day, even if you have to go somewhere. Take 10 pairs of underwear and pants with you if you must. But don't go back. Only use pullups for bedtime. After a few days, keep reminding them to go potty. Even if they have been going alone for a few days. Make sure they remember that this is very important. Don't forget they can always regress, so consistency is key! Good luck! :)

Cloth diapers for the most part. No leaks for us. Target brand disopables for road trips and night time diapering.
We used pull-up for a little while w/ our daughter while she was going through potty training. They didn't work very well b/c she considered them diapers. We used thicker underwear around the house and pull ups when we went out.
For our first child, we just waited until she was ready. We bought a potty chair and left it out for her to use or explore. She was very interested at first, then lost interest for awhile. She went through a very long stage of being physically ready but not emotionally ready (maybe b/c I was pregnant w/ our second child). She finally decided to wear underwear one night, stayed dry and has been potty trained ever since (though when we moved to our new house, she went though a period of time where she would have frequent misses...we used pull ups again for awhile). The whole process started when she was 2, her brother was born when she was 3, and she was potty trained shortly after.
Our second child is 16 months. We did some EC when he was a newborn but didn't keep up w/ it. He does seem pretty aware of his elimnations signs and often tells us when he's about to go, though he doesn't want to go on the potty yet. We leave his baby bjorn potty out for him to explore as he wishes.

1. Huggies, they work the best..
2. I didn't use pull ups, only because someone told me ( which I beileve) if they wear pull ups they dont feel the wetness really, so I used the really thick cloth underwear my daughter was potty trained really fast! Unless I had to go somewhere and I knew we'd be gone a long time... Just make sure you have a change of clothes..
3. see number 2

with 4 of my kids i used huggies then i tryed luvs with my last 2 , the price was great adn they held more so price and quality that was 10 yr ago
as for pull ups i skiped the pull ups all together reason . 1 is there expensive for the amount u get in a package , 2 if your gonna buy pull ups u might as well put the kids in diapers its in my opinion the same as a diaper the bulky ness etc the only diffrenc ethe kids can pull them up and down with lil or know help
as for potty training well first i made sure they were off the bottle for atleast 2 months , then i went and bought my kids caracter panties and underwear ie winnie the pooh spider man , cinderalla , dorra , then i tald my children that there big boys or girsl now and that spiderman , winnie the pooh dorr etc dont like to be wet or have pooh on them so they need to keep dorra spiderman winnie the pooh clean and happy by going pooh and pee in there toilet after that lil talk i took them put them in there undies tossed out all diapers and placed the child on the potty , each time i went potty i would take my daughters adn i would take my sons , when there dad got home the dad will take the boys in each time he went potty , through out the day like every half hour i would ask them to go potty some times they wouldnt have to go well they said know but as soon as i took them they went , as soon as they wake up in am i would have them go potty , then before they go to bed , i also didnt allow no drinks an hour before bed time to help prevent acedents , i also would take them to the rest room before we left the house and as soon as we arived where we were going if they had a rest room , the main thing is being patient and dont rush the child each child is diffrent , so thetre may be a range in potty training ages to be a good age is when there walking and talking clearly and waking up in am dry my oldest daughter was potty trained at 15 months my twins were at 20 months my other daughter was a big big surprise on potty training she was 2 and only took one day i say she was really readdy , my other son was 22 moths because i was pg with another child lost my mom in law same year so i was going through stress if your stressing dont try potty training at that time , my youngest one was potty trained completly at 13 months

1. luvs and pampers---they didn't fall apart
2. huggies---only ones that were large enough--my youngest potty trained late
3. With both of my boys I let them go naked from waist down and potty chair was right in front of TV. When they got the concept down I put them in plain shorts, then boxer shorts, then tighter fitting boxer shorts, then tighty whiteys. This can take 6-12 months. But worth every diaper I don't have to change.
Nothing will bring a tear to your eye more than when they wipe their own butt.

1) luvs cheaper work great
2) pull ups a huge waste of money never have never will use
3)use underpants well trainers, spend 3-4 days at home and sit them on toilet every 2 hours or so, give stickers and praise for everything even just sitting there it works
mom to 5 4 already trained including my 2 year old who has been trained since about 17 months it takes consistency and about 3-4 days but well worth it

For both my kids, pull ups didn't work. I guess they just forgot what the purpose was and peed in them like diapers. I put them in real toddler undies, and they instantly started going on the toilet. My son was 26 months, my duaghter was 24 months. They had a couple of accidents the first two weeks, but, if you keep reminding them, and asking them if they need to go, it should go ok. Also, let them walk around the house in just a shirt and undies, so they get to pull them down faster. And congratulate them every time. Stickers, etc. !!!!!

1. Pampers
2. Pampers
3. Consistency. Everytime he pottied in his diaper, I would put him on the toilet. I would put him on when he woke up, before nap, before bed, etc. Teaching him to stand and pee was more challenging. Last, have patience. Each child will do it when they are ready and reward when they do.

1. cheep diapers, your only buying the name with the expensive ones.
2. any pull ups are fine. Unfortunalty they only come in brand names really.
3. I put the potty in her presence, and played the stuffy has to go pee pee. And waited untill she wanted to do it her herself. It took me 1 week end to train her.
