Pull up go up one size if cannot hold poops?

[Anonymous]

I have problem in potty training almost 3 year old boy with #1 & #2, and daycare teachers say he is not ready yet, and I should give him a break & try it again. He is currently wearing huggie pull ups 2T-3T (for 18-34 lbs), and it fits him well because he is 27 lbs. However, everytime he poops, it explodes to the back to sometimes to the bottom. He has huge poops each time, and it makes a super mess. He does not like pampers pull up, and I have 2 boxes of them leaving at home.

For diapers, I know that you go up one size if the diaper cannot hold poops. How about for pull ups? Do you go up one size up too if the current size does not hold poops. Huggies 3T-4T is for 32-40 lbs, but DS has small bum only weights 27 lbs. The box from costco come in a big box, and I don't want to buy the wrong size.

Pull ups are crap and don’t hold much of anything. I’m surprised they hold his pee. They’re like plastic pants.

Put him back in a diaper. A real diaper.

Agree. Pull-ups are great for kids who are potty training and might have an accident but not full blown blow outs.

Why would he need pull ups instead of diapers if he’s not pulling up and down on his own?

Try the huggies diapers that function like pull ups. They are exactly like pull-ups but hold more because they are diapers. And yes you should probably go up a size

OP here. Because everyone (all 2.5-3 years old) in his daycare classroom is either potty trained already or working on potty training, so all kids are either in underwear or pull ups, and no more diapers allowed. The daycare requires every kids have to be potty trained by the end of this year, otherwise they can't move up to the 3 year old classroom in the spring.

Put him back in diapers at home. Keep bringing him in the pull-ups to school and let them deal with it. Pull ups are not really meant to be used as diapers and don’t hold much. They are meant to catch the accidental pee as you are rushing to the bathroom.

Your child is not ready for this daycare, then. Put him in a different daycare.

It's wrong to make the school deal with this. She needs to find a different care situation for her kid.

It’s been post after post about children being in the wrong setting.

Everyone else potty trained, OP. You didn’t. Deal with the consequences.

I would be pissed if I want another parent in the school. If I did the work and potty trained my child, but your child poops his pants every day and the teachers have to take time to clean it. What if the poop goes everywhere?

Come on OP. Train your kid.

Does the school help a child potty train? If they don’t that seems cruel and completely unfair to your kid. Making him wear pull ups is not the answer.

Find a place that will help you.

+1. Do this OP.

That is so gross, OP!

Ask the teachers what they suggest since they are the poor souls who have to clean him. Pull ups are really awful but if that is what they insist on than go up a size.

And work hard on potty training him for poop at the very least.

I’m shocked at all the judgement on this post when OP is simply asking for advice. Give constructive advice not horrible judgement. I don’t know where people are from on here but in Canada-Child care is extremely hard to find- not everyone can Willy nilly change their child care because they’re in the process of potty training. The facility obviously knew the child was a work in progress on acceptance otherwise they would’ve denied OP childcare in the first place due to the ‘must be trained rule’. Anyway, no advice to give here- I came in search of advice for starting to train my 21month old as I’m a FTM. Goodluck OP! I wish you and your babe all the best on thing journey 🙏🏻

I would work on finding a different brand of pull-ups. Don’t get the big boxes at first until you find a brand/side that works. I found the pampers ones with sides that came apart worked best when we were in the early stages of potty training but every child is different.

Since it seems like the school is providing both sides of the problem (must where pull-ups but also discouraging you from working on potty training) I would ask them for advice/preferences. Personally, I would carry on with potty training at home regardless of school support but I don’t know the details of the situation so use your own best judgment there.

I would not find a new school unless they’re totally impossible. Finding new childcare is hard and a bit of a gamble. Unless you have other issues with them I wouldn’t go through that hassle just about potty training.
