78: Common Summer Potty Training Pitfalls
Listen now
Description
I'm diving into the nitty-gritty of summer potty training. Summer is a fantastic time to potty train—less clothing, more time at home—but it comes with its own set of challenges. We'll talk about how travel plans and those beloved pool and beach days can throw a wrench in your potty training progress. I'll be sharing why swim diapers can be a major setback and why it's crucial to manage your little one's fluid intake to avoid those pesky electrolyte imbalances. We’ll also cover why fruits like watermelon and grapes might be causing more nighttime accidents than you realize. Plus, I can't stress enough the importance of dedicating enough time to really nail down those potty training skills. Forget the quick fixes and three-day promises—I'm here to help you do it right.
