Pooping outside

[Rachael]

I usually toilet train in the Summer but sure enough, have one beginning at home this weekend, one beginning at home over the Christmas Break and one more in January. I also have a Mom pushing for her daughter even though she's only 20 months and simply not ready so I'm delaying her.

When I do have toilet-training children, I add a potty to our wagon of supplies. And some grocery bags to put the waste in. We are lucky in the sense we have access to a private logging road which is gated and where we spend a lot of outside time so there's at least privacy. LOL I have always taken diapers and wipes with me regardless of training as we tend to be gone most of the morning. I'd hate anyone, toilet training or not, to spend more than min time in a soiled diaper.

It's one thing to change a child in spring-fall but to change them in winter means stripping their jacket, boots, snowpants off, lying them down (in snow?) and changing them then redressing them. The amount of heat loss through that process would be unhealthy. Wipes would freeze before you got them to the child's bum.

Absolutely which is why I said I USUALLY train in the summer but sure enough...blah blah.

You are right 5LM. I responded quickly to Rachael's 'blah, blah, blah' comment with annoyance. I should have ignored it altogether. I'm deleting my comment to try and keep the original thread going with some helpful feedback.
