How To: Get Your Child Potty Trained in 3 Days - This worked for me!

Teaching our kids how to use the bathroom can sometimes be a tedious and lengthy process for us parents. Some parents find this process stressful and really there is no right method, some children do it when they are ready and on their own. There is however a said method that I used on my 2 year old that took me actually 2 days, but this should work within 3 days. It seriously worked for me and my little guy and I would now like to share it with you.

This 3-day potty train actually has a name and is called the Fellom technique. It will definitely shorten the amount of time for traditional methods of potty training, and get your child up and running.

Now this process starts with your child going naked from the waist down, and it is suggested that the method of training is done during a three-day block where you might be able to quarantine yourselves inside the home. Parenting.com suggested that t-shirts can be wrapped around the child, but absolutely no underwear is to go on the child.

While the child is getting ready for bed, however, it is recommended that the child wears a diaper at night. The following things then need to happen:

Set out several potties in every room of your house.
Carry extra diapers and wipes
Make sure to keep socks and the heater on if your home gets chilly.

Follow These Steps Exactly for True Results

Day # 1:

You child will need to stay underpantless and of course you will need to keep an eye on them for the entire day. Give your children salty snacks and a lot of water/liquids to keep your child hydrated and peeing often. Whenever a trusted adult needs to use the restroom themselves, take the child and show them how it works and lead by example.

Do celebrate whenever they’ve managed to use the potty trainer by themselves. If they can do it consistently 10-12 times, children can be trusted to use the bathroom themselves!

Don’t let your child be ashamed for failing. Just keep reiterating that the bathroom needs to be done in the potty.
Before naps and bedtime, put the kids on the potty, don’t ask them if they need to, just make them. They should wear a diaper to prevent massive accidents just in case.

Day # 2:

You’ll largely remain with the same tactic, however, your child should go outside for an hour on this day. Have them pee and then take them outside for an hour (with loose-fitting pants on). The goal is to go out and get back to the house without any accident. A simple stroll through your neighborhood is recommended.

Day # 3:

The same results here, but aim to go outside twice- once in the morning and once at night. Again, go to the bathroom first and then go outside. If you need to, take an extra set of clothes or a clean potty to bring with you in case there is an emergency.
The process is sure to be a tough three days, but with a little patience, your child can be relatively quickly trained! Best of luck to all the parents out there helping their child transition over.

If for some reason you are finding that it is not working, continue to redo the steps again and keep trying. Like I said, some children have their own way of learning and will do it when they are ready.
