Potty Training Tips From Huggies, Dr. Andres Cotton + Jeannette Kaplun

Last week I had the opportunity to listen in on a Huggies #EveryFlush teleconference with Dr. Andres Cotton & Jeannette Kaplun. I was able to learn some really useful and reassuring information about potty training. If you follow me on Twitter you may have seen some of my tweets and/or re-tweets about the topic.  

An award-winning journalist and internationally recognized parenting expert, Jeannette Kaplun has over 17 years of experience on TV, radio, online media and as a published author and conference
speaker. Born in El Paso, Texas, and raised in Chile, Jeannette is truly bilingual and bicultural. In 2012 she launched her bilingual platform for Hispanic women who want to look, feel and do their best,
Hispana Global. There she shares parenting tips, beauty, fashion, travel, technology and videos in English and Spanish.

Dr. Alberto Andres Cotton is a well-respected Miami based pediatrician with 17 years of experience. He began his career in medicine in Buenos Aires, Argentina where he graduated from the University of Buenos Aires, and then started his own private practice. Dr. Cotton continued to work in different capacities in the medical field while in Argentina. Some of his notable achievements are working with the Miami Children’s Hospital Haiti Medical Relief Tea where he was voluntarily deployed to provide assistance, and being featured on Univision’s top morning show Despierta América to share his expertise on health related topics.

Dr. Andres Cotton has teamed up with the Pull-Ups® Every Flush program to share his expertise with Hispanic moms by offering tips and advice that challenge some of the preconceived notions of potty training.

Tips I Picked Up:

• There is no set age to start potty training
• Always be encouraging & give praise
• If a sibling is on the way regression is normal
• Boys may take longer than girls to train
• Don't freak out unless you see there is no progress over time
  
• Make potty training a Family Affair: Get friends and family members involved in the process, asking others for support is a great way to go
• Its important to share potty training tips with other family members (dad, abuela, aunt, tio, los primos) engaging and educating them about training pants, the process and the fun rituals that make sticking with the process easier.
