We started off pretty relaxed thinking that he was getting it, with a few accidents here and there, but still wearing a diaper at night. He even got to the point where he was telling us when he needed to go potty, but would still poop in his morning diaper. Then regressed. *sigh* So trying not to get frustrated we kept up with the training, despite the many more accidents and now he is going on his own to the potty again! Even pooping in it the last few days :) Makes us happy parents and now we only have one in diapers...! Well, not sure when nighttime will be conquered but at least daytime is! Hang in there and don't give up :) She needs you to stay consistent and will eventually give in and continue the good habits...

LOL. The more I backed off, the more he did it on his own. He could feel my frustration and actually became petrified of the potty for awhile. And he too was cloth diapered. One thing I did was put the old school pull up covers over his undies during the day to contain some of the accidents. That and a good carpet cleaner. LOL Good luck, she will get it. :) When my little guy was that age i thought he would never be potty trained. LOL. The more I backed off, the more he did it on his own.

We did EC when my daughter was 7 months old and it worked great, but then I started working like a maniac and stopped doing it completely. If I did continue, I'm sure she would've been potty trained a long time ago. You're completely right, staying relaxed and calm are key to success. ckpwong, thank you for the comment!

He gets plenty of diaper-free time (just pants, no underwear or training pants) when he's home and not napping. He sometimes uses the potty when we offer, but recently he has been declining. While EC is different from toddler potty training, staying relaxed and calm are keys to success. Babies and toddlers are usually more cooperative when you aren't obsessed about avoiding accidents.
