Sending a big thank you to Bambino Mio for sending us some potty training goodies!

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase “potty training”?  Dread?  The seemingly never ending task at hand?  I know I used to feel that way.  Truth be told, going to the bathroom is one thing that kids have absolute control over and we can do nothing about should it become a battle of the wills.  So my goal after severely messing it up with our first child, was to avoid that battle.  I would no longer be the mom who was pushing my child while driving myself to the brink of sanity.  After potty training many children throughout my years of daycare as well as four of our own children, I’ve found something that really seems to work.

While it may sound like common sense, I’ve discovered that letting the child lead is the best way to go.  Shortly after our kiddos turn two, I spend a couple hours introducing them to the potty.  I DO put them in underwear for this trial run as I want them to see and feel what is happening and diapers tend to alleviate that discomfort.  We head to the bathroom armed with books, toys, snacks, and a glass of water and we hang out.  While I’d prefer they stay on the potty, more often than not, they are on and off.  If success is made, we sing a fun little potty diddy that I make up in the moment and reward with clapping and praise.  If it happens on the floor, we talk about it and I express my desire for successful deliverance into the toilet next time.  Once the child is completely “over this potty training thing”, I put them back in their diaper and life goes on.  Throughout the following weeks and months, I do offer the option of sitting on the potty and once a more solid interest ensues, we hit it hard.  Well, that time seems to have come as our 2 1/2 year old daughter has been going on the potty more and more often lately.  So I turned to Bambino Mio for a little bit of help.

The Bambino Mio Potty Training Pants are absorbent pull-on style underwear that offer the step kids need when ditching the diapers.  Independence can be crucial during potty training as kids will need to be able to easily pull their training pants up and down when those last second potty runs are being made.  (I can’t be the only one with kiddos who do the potty dance, right!?!)  Bambino Mio Potty Training Pants are designed with a concealed water-resistant layer and absorbent inner pad that helps to contain small accidents.  Since kiddos can feel that wetness right away, hopefully it will trigger them to stop and get to the bathroom, leading to less clothing changes.  Plus, they are available in a variety of fun colors and designs which our young kids have always enjoyed while also offering an extra incentive to keep those cute undies dry.

Also, when still in the potty training mode, it’s important to make sure to continue using swim diapers when hitting the pools.  Bambino Mio has you covered for that as well.  Their Reusable Swim Diapers offer the ultimate solution for babies and toddlers in water. Designed with leak proof leg cuffs, soft cotton terry lining, drawstring waste band, and lightweight fabric, this washable swim diaper is the ultimate economic solution for the containment of solids when in the water.  Not to mention that they also come in a variety of adorable designs.

Bambino Mio really knows what parents need.  I also love that you can see how much they care by the effort they put into packing their shipments.  (See the cute tie and personalized card!)  They offer up some awesome products that can help with both diapering as well as the potty training stages in life.  Their products are also economical since they are reusable and washable.  Plus, they are awesome quality and super cute to boot!
