BabyLegs - Baby and Toddler Leg Warmers
The uses for BabyLegs leg warmers are endless. This is one of those great products that you can buy for a baby and they and their siblings can use it forever. There are a multitude of fun styles, fabric choices and even seasonal prints available.
Designed by a real mom, BabyLegs came from a need to make babies more comfortable in the early months. After designing the product, the owner saw how many uses this soft tube of fabric had. It became her mission to market it to the world, which she has done successfully. Millions of babies are proud owners of BabyLegs and have warmer and more stylish legs to thank her with.
The uses of BabyLegs are endless. Of course it can be used for babies, which was the primary cause of the product. Newly crawlers need protection on their knees. BabyLegs is a cushion that allows them to crawl freely while wearing a one piece suit or t shirt. In summer months, while wearing a short romper, BabyLegs can easily be added to give that cushion to the crawling baby.
Diaper changes are extremely easier when babies get to that stage where they no longer wish to be bothered with the changing. When you've already got a baby who is resisting being changed, it's so much easier to not have to deal with trying to get pants on.
Wearing leg warmers at nighttime is another great use. Allowing your baby to keep their legs warm without a constricting tummy band will ensure good sleep and warm babies.
Potty training is another great time for these toddler leg warmers. Toddlers are much quicker at getting underpants off when they don't have to worry about outer pants.
The extra warmth given by BabyLegs brings us to another whole category of uses. They can be worn under pants during real cold months. Little girls who love to wear dresses can slip a pair of BabyLegs on under their dress and continue to wear them well into the winter. Boys love athletic pants but if they are unlined, they can get cold in the winter. Toddler leg warmers are comfy and warm underneath.
BabyLegs can even be used while playing in the snow to protect wrists and ankles from exposure. Just use the leg warmers to overlap the mittens and coats or the boots and snow pants for added warmth and to keep the snow out of those sensitive parts.
Most BabyLegs are one size fits all. One pair can be used for multiple family members and various uses. You'll be amazed at the things you'll find to do with this product. Something so simple can be used for so many things!

Potty Training - A Simple 4 Step Formula for Initiating Toilet Training
"I'm so done with diapers!" groans a mother as she looks at the high price tag on the jumbo pack of diapers. "Is it time for my child to start potty training?"
Potty training is a big milestone for children. But how do parents know when to start? Intuition, expectations, common sense and observation play key roles in initiating potty training.
Step #1-Create a Parent/Child Team
Potty training is a combined effort between parent and child. Some parents may assume that they are in charge, while other parents place the child at the helm. In actuality, potty training is a partnership. Parents provide support, potty training tools, books, and dry clothing; children do the "going."
Grasping the concept that potty training is a team effort between parent and child, and not a command and control situation, is critical to success. Strict, impatient pursuit of the goal puts undo pressure on the child, resulting in stress, anxiety and in some cases delayed potty training.
Step#2-Starting early doesn't ensure quick results
In depth research on intensive potty training has proven that initiating the process early is in fact correlated to extended duration of potty training. Those parents who start training prematurely find that the potty training process lasts longer.
Children must develop bladder and muscle control before they are able to control toileting. Parents may adhere to this rough timeline of readiness: 15-18 months the child senses that his or her clothes are wet; 18 months the child may urinate on the potty if placed on it; 2- 2 1/2 years the child might alert the parent that he has to go; and 3-4 years the child may have the ability to "hold it" and visit the bathroom alone.
Step#3-Determine readiness by child's development
When deciding to begin the potty training process, chronological age may not be the correct indicator for readiness. The parent should look for signs that the child is developmentally ready. This is especially true for babies who were born prematurely and children who are developmentally delayed.
Some good signs of readiness are: child can sit and walk well, child can stay dry for 2 hours or more, child is interested in doing what big kids or grownups do, child is able to follow and execute simple instructions, and child seems to understand what the potty is for and uses words relating to using the toilet.
Parents should assess the temperament of the child. Important questions to ask are: is the child able to focus, what is her attention span, does the child frustrate easily, is the child easily angered or discouraged.
For most children potty training occurs between 2 and 3 years, with the majority of children potty trained by 4.
Step#4-Go on now, go!
Today is the day! Parents should make sure that the child is in good health, and that the household is calm with no impending turmoil such as a move coming up, a new baby being brought home, or a parent going away on a trip.
Dress the child in easy to remove clothing like sweat pants with an elastic waist. Snaps, buttons and zippers are difficult for little hands and time consuming to manipulate when the urge arises. To reduce the pressure on the child, allow him to stay in diapers during the early days of potty training. Gradually transition him into underwear for short amounts of time as his dry times become more and more extended.
After a meal, nap, or when coming in from outdoors are good times to encourage the child to hop on the potty. Parents should be on the look out for indicators of when the child may have the urge to go.
Accompany the child to the potty and stay with him. The visit to the bathroom should be short and sweet; five minutes is plenty of time. Offer reading material, or use a fun potty training tool or toy to make the five minutes engaging. Important: if the child wants to get off of the potty before five minutes, don't force him to stay.
Praise, praise, praise! Little milestones deserve lots of hugs and kisses. It is really something for a little tyke to hop on the potty by herself, pull up her own pants, or make it into the bathroom (even if only to be a little late.) Be kind, patient, sensitive and proud. Don't scold the child for having accidents, ever.

Potty Training Girls - Is it Much Different Than Potty Training Boys?
I've been potty training girls - and boys - for the last three decades I can tell you with great confidence that there is very little significant difference between the two. In fact, the approach is exactly the same.
For instance, you'll need to make sure that your daughter is chronologically and developmentally ready. The American Academy of Pediatrics says that most normal, healthy toddlers are ready for potty training between 16 and 27 months (18 months is the average).
However, experts are also careful to point out that developmental maturity is a much better indicator of readiness than is chronological age.
Following are several signs that your daughter is ready.
She might:
* Recognize simple words and phrases such as, "pee pee," "poop," "potty," etc. * Demonstrate awareness of her body parts (and others') - especially genitals * Imitate others - especially Mom, Dad and siblings
* Dress or undress herself
* Express her need for independence - For instance, I knew my granddaughter, Sevy, was "there" as soon as she starting saying, "Sevy can do it!" many times a day. (As a matter of fact, she said it so often I told her that her name should be "Sevy-Can-Do-It"!
As I indicated, these are just a few of the many clues you're likely to witness. However, if you have questions regarding this, I suggest that you consult with your pediatrician or take one of the many potty training assessment quizzes found on the Internet.
Once you're sure that it time to potty train your little girl, you'll want to arm yourself with a solid plan of action - in other words, a potty training system that will help you achieve your goal (no diapers!) successfully, joyfully, and completely.
Fortunately, achieving great results with any potty training system is not dependent on fancy potty chairs, toys, or dolls. They're simply not necessary. However, there's certainly no harm in providing a few extras, if you'd like.
Here are a few "nice-to-have" tips specifically for little girls.
1. Outfit your daughter in dresses during training. Why pull down pants, undo buttons, or unzip zippers when your little one has to use the potty? Instead, use potty training as an opportunity to make your little girl feel pretty and make it easier on you to get them to the potty on time!
2. Allow your daughter to choose her "big girl" underwear. Why not celebrate this wonderful rite of passage with a shopping trip to your local department store for pretty underwear? Your little girl will love picking out her favorites and you'll have a natural opportunity to talk with her about potty training. Everyone wins...
3. Consider purchasing potty books specifically developed for little girls. There are many great potty books and DVDs available on the Internet and in stores - some are quite general, while others are strictly for girls. Are these books mandatory? No - at least not in my opinion. However, if you're set on purchasing one, it makes sense to buy one that comes closest to what your child will experience.
Bottom line - Potty training girls is identical in methodology to toilet training boys. Yes, there are several minor differences, but the approach, support, timing, and need for consistency are all the same. I wish you great success and joyful potty training!

A Parents Guide to Toilet Training (Potty Training)
Toilet or potty training can be a frustrating time for parents and toddlers. My wife and I are getting to the end of toilet training with our son, but I wish we had prepared a bit earlier to make the process easier for all of us.
Most children learn to begin their bladder and later their bowels, between two to three years of age. Girls often before boys. Most parents, (well at least my wife and I!) only really start to think about toilet training when their child reaches around two.
But there's a lot of preparation that can be done before this age to make a child feel comfortable and acclimatized to the idea of going to the toilet before the experience begins.
Discuss with your child when they need to go to the toilet. "Are you doing a wee? Are you doing a poo?" Teach them through encouragement to tell you when they are emptying their bladders or moving their bowels.
Nappy time is ideal for these discussions. "You've done a poo. Soon you will go to the toilet to wee and poo like a big boy/girl." Talk about it weeks or months before putting them on the toilet.
-
Read stories and watch children's programs or DVD's about toilet training (such as Elmo's Potty Time)
-
Let them watch adults or older siblings when they go to the toilet and see that it is a natural and regular occurrence.
-
Let the flush the toilet
-
buy a special seat and foot stool for the toilet and sink so they feel safe and are able to easily wash their hands afterwards.
Around the the age of two your child should be well prepared and able to sit on the toilet at every nappy change. At first it's usually quite easy as they enjoy the thrill of being a big boy or girl. After the excitement wears off it can be hard to encourage them to sit.
Praise them for sitting on the toilet, regardless of their success. Give them a clap, a cheer a high five, stamp or sticker everytime they sit on the toilet, no matter how briefly. Then put them back in a nappy (reuse the same nappy if dry), then follow the toileting routine of using a small amount of paper, flushing the toilet and washing hands.
Praise them in front of others about how grown up they are for sitting on the toilet. They love that! Our son loved to show visitors how he could sit on the toilet all by himself.
To encourage success while they're on the toilet, they'll need to spend some time there at first. It's a good idea to keep a little basket of books in the bathroom so you can sit and read to them while they're sitting there. That first wee in the toilet is a big deal to parent and child!
Put them on the toilet at normal "go" times, such as after waking up, after meals, before a bath and before bed.
After sufficient preparation (weeks or months depending on the child), they will start to show signs of toilet readiness. Tugging at nappies, sometimes with words, stamping of feet etc. Now is the time for training pants.
To begin with take them to the toilet every hour. Don't give them the option by asking them, just tell them, "It's toilet time," and take them by the hand. Sooner or later most two year olds begin to object when they realise they have to stop playing for a little while to go to the toilet. At this time, don't let them leave the toilet until they've sat down and "performed". They know what to do by now. Encourage them by saying things like "As soon as you've weed we can go and draw, play with your favourite toy etc."
Be positive and praise small successes. Accidents happen. Don't scold them. Talk to them and say "Whoops, you peed on the floor. We pee in the toilet don't we? Next time we'll make it to the toilet." You can also encourage them to tell you when they need to go. After accidents complete the usual toilet routine - sit on the toilet, paper, flush and wash hands. If they don't go through the routine they'll soon see the advantages of peeing in their pants.
Once your child is in pants during the day, don't go back to nappies except for sleep periods. It is too confusing to children to work out when they're in a nappy and when they're in pants. After an accident, it's back into pants. Sorry!
Of course there are times when pants aren't convenient. Huggies "pull ups" are great for going out when toilet training. Don't use them like a nappy. But they offer peace of mind in case children don't make it to the toilet in time.
To limit accidents while out:
- take your child to the toilet before every outing
- take your child to the toilet between shops
- take a potty with you in the car for emergencies
- take spare clothes with you.
The hourly routine must still be maintained while you're out.
Most children will wet the bed at night long after they're dry during the day. Keep them in nappies at night and take them to the toilet as soon as they wake up.
Consistency between home and day care or other carers is very important. Remember to be positive and delight in your child's every success. Best of luck and I hope this guide will help you through this sometimes challenging process!

The Best Potty Training Age and Potty Training While Traveling
According to the experts, the best potty training age starts at around 2 years old, but this age varies from child to child. Watching for the signs of readiness is one of the best ways to help potty train your child. If you observe your child during the day, you will notice a pattern of potty times, and that can really help keep it from being so stressful for both of you.
If you are already in the process of toilet training your child, you need to know that it is important to be consistent even when traveling. You might be surprised and happy to know that in many cases, it is actually easier to potty train your little one while traveling. That being said, we will concentrate on how you can continue potty training your little one while traveling.
It is always best to make sure everyone goes to the bathroom before embarking on any trip whether short or long. This is especially true for your little one when you are in the midst of potty training since consistency is the key in this process. We will work on the assumption that your child has already reached his or her potty training age and that you have had some success in the process. Irrespective of whether you are travelling by car, airplane or any other mode of transportation, you can still continue the toilet training process without a lot of stress.
If you are on vacation already, you may be in a more relaxed state of mind, so you are less likely to become impatient or frustrated if your little one regresses or has a mishap. Even children who have reached their potty training age have accidents, so be patient and focus on getting them back on track. The following tips can help you with your continuing toilet training while traveling.
* Portable Potty - Take along a portable child potty chair for emergencies. This option also helps in a hotel where an unfamiliar toilet can be scary to a child. You can avoid this fear by introducing your child to public restrooms. Typically when you are potty training your little one they want to go to the restroom at every stop/store anyway.
* Rewards - Healthy snacks, stickers and small toys help encourage your child to go to the restroom instead of in their pants.
* Training pants - When you are on a trip, you might want to make use of training pants so if there is a mishap, there is less mess for you to clean.
* Encouraging Audio/Video - If you are using potty training video or audio disks for your child, take them along on a trip and play them for him/her off and on during travel.
These are just a few basic tips for continuing training while traveling with a child of potty training age. Keep in mind that some children regress during travel, but this is normal and you must be patient and focused on being consistent.
My three children, two girls and a boy, are now all grown adults and my memories of the early days when I was assisting my wife with toilet training, particularly at potty training age, have well and truly faded away in my memory. But, observing the happenings as each of my three children coped with the toilet training of my eight grandchildren, many of the memories have quite vividly returned. It is this that prompted me to put down some of my thoughts on the subject. Additionally, for more of my thoughts on toilet training I'd like to recommend that you go to potty training age. At that site you'll also have access to links to 'potty training girls' and on 'potty training boys'.
