LOL, SOT! Silly you!I never thought of using rubber pants lol.
My mom diapered my baby sibs in soakers with rubber pants, that's probably where I got it from.

I think the reason I think of cloth training pants as being old-fashioned, is because so many mothers nowadays use disposable pull-ups instead, even though the cloth ones are still around.I don’t think training pants are old-fashioned, though. I wasn’t really thinking about them earlier, but seeing the pics when I came back here made me realize that I used them, and I think they ate pretty standard practice even now. Pull-ups are good for certain times, but I recall them being too diaper-like for training purposes.
I might have used rubber pants over them occasionally.
My kids were pretty much ready to potty train when I started them, so it didn’t take too long.
I had no choice but to pay attention. Helped my mom a lot with the care of baby sibs when they were little.My mother may have too but I didn't pay attention!
LOL, SOT! Yep, I can see you doing such a thing.by the way, this is from far back in the thread but I mop floors the regular way usually, but have been known to throw down a towel and wash soapy, sticky, frustrating floors with my feet. I thought I was the only one on earth who did this... lol! I call it The Towel Shuffle lol.
by the way, does anyone else do the housework in her underwear? I get hot so I tend to wear as few clothes as possible. My husband often does his share of the housework in his briefs (his chooice of underwear but we covered this important topic already).

Cloth definitely equals discomfort when wet. My kids learned that early on, and it really kicked-in when got older.
Did you have early trainers, Apple?
LOL! Let me tell you, SOT, I'm one scary sight in underpants!Well...to defend myself a bit, I always shut all the blinds and drapes
Gosh... one year old, you did well. Such was not the case in our house. I was diapering well into the 3's, and youngest son wore diapers at night until age 4. I remember still changing him during the day at age 3-1/2. He was still in diapers fulltime (daytime and night). Used to change him on the floor in the bathroom.I don’t think they were especially early.
My older girls were two or so, my son was probably three.
My youngest was night trained at a year or so, did that herself and would go on potty first thing in the morning, but didn’t care to use underwear until three, maybe close to four. Since she was my youngest, I didn’t care, so she started wearing undies when she was ready.
You did well, too. That's probably the best way, making no fuss over accidents.I didn't push potty training at all. Bart was 3, but he had an immature bladder and wet his bed to age 12. I didn't want to make a deal out of it to embarrass him so I just washed everything and didn't talk about it. There was no way it was on purpose. Princess was 3. Sonic, with his developmental delays with autism, was four and Jumper, who was always so mature and an old soul, had it figured out at 28 months. I didn't work on potty training. Figured when they were ready, they would be ready and they were.
My little ones did not keep their underwear on if they wet it. They just took it off and ran around nude so feeling uncomfortable didn't happen....hehe.
Same here, and that's one too many as it stands! LOL!Nobody sees me in underwear except hubby and he knows (well) what I look like...hehe. Twenty three years.

Glass, really was the way for so many years, wasn't it.When Bart was born there was no choice but glass bottles. I steraluzed the bottles and heated them on a stove.
I was glad when more friendly bottles came out.
I did not breathing feed. I was on medication for Bart and my others were adopted.
Isn't it funny, Apple, how each kid is different?That was only the youngest, and only at night. I didn’t do anything, though, it was something she did herself. I thought that meant she was going to daytime train early, but that wasn’t the case.
