[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is this even a question? Why does a potty-trained child still wear pull-ups anyway? Or at all?

Most children just go from diapers to potty-trained without using pullups. [/quote]

If you can't say anything helpful, don't post.

-Not OP [/quote]

I think it IS helpful for OP to know how far outside the norm this is. Does she not have any friends with similar aged kids? When my kids were potty training it was a frequent topic of mom-friend conversations. We were all well aware who was/was not potty-trained, who was day/night trained, etc. OP doesn't seem to have these relative data points. Why would she think she should leave them in the pull-up after training? She must go to a loosy goosy in-home preschool. Because in our preschool, you couldn't move up to the 3 year old room unless you were fully potty trained. And this was not that many years ago (5.)[/quote]

Same for our daycare: the teachers had the parents send kids in in underwear starting around 2.75 years (used pullup for naps) and then would decide when to stop using pullups for naps based on how things were going, kids couldn't move up to the 3 year old room until they were dry during naps with no pullup, and most kids moved up (even the boys) by the time they were 3.5 years old.[/quote]
