Your potty training supply list
This is a list of recommended materials that I use to potty train. Though not all are required, these are nice-to-haves.
Some activities
Ideally, these would be fun activities for you and your toddler to engage together in, but make sure they’re not so distracting that you won’t catch the beginnings of a pee stream.
Some things I would suggest would be puzzles, foam stickers, beading on pipe cleaners, or drawing.
Books
Here’s a blog post with my faves!
Snacks and Water
Snacks can include things with a high fluid content like melon, or ice pops. Getting in some healthy fats ie: avocado, coconut milk, olive oil is a good way to ensure some nice poops.
A tad more water than normal, but don’t go crazy. Keep in mind that the average toddler only needs about 1L of water a day.
Little Potty
I like these. They are simple, easy to clean, and I’ve never had one tip over.
This version has a taller back, this is better for kids who will need something to hold onto while they lower themselves down. High Backed potty
Potty Insert
So you can give them the option “ Would you like to use the big potty or the little potty?”
I like This one. It attaches to your actual toilet and attaches itself to the inside of your toilet lid. Great if you don’t love the idea or removing a potty insert any time an adult needs to use the bathroom.
If that’s too hardcore, this one is fine: Jool Potty Seat
I disliike the ones that are a potty insert with the steps pre-attached. I’ve never seen it fit against a toilet securely and I find them to be quite wobbly.
Step stool with railing
The railing creates the opportunity for potty independence and physical security.
Other Bathroom Supplies
Motion sensor hand soap dispenser: Soap Dispenser. For when you don’t wish to fight about how many soap pumps are enough.
Then, nap time supplies
Chux pads
for on top of the sheets
Brolly sheets
for under your sheets to protect the mattress.
Travel potty
fold up ones are nice for on the go.
Don’t forget the bag refills
There is also a silicone option
Save the carseat: Carseat Liner
Change of clothes
Pee goes all down the leg. So don’t forget fresh shoes and socks too.
Pro Tip: pack them in a plastic ziplock/ reusable wet/dry pouch so you have a place for the wet clothes.
Underwear
Dealer’s choice. I recommend to have at least 12 pairs.
And some cleanup:
Paper towels
Multipurpose cleaner
Alright guys, to the potty!
