The Potty Watch

Attention all mamas: If your little one is giving you clues* that she may be ready to start toilet training, you may want to check out The Potty Watch. It attaches to your toddler’s wrist and then lights up and plays a little song like “London Bridges” or “Oh, My Darlin’” every 30, 60 or 90 minutes, depending on when you have set the timer for. When it goes off, she knows it’s time to hop up on the potty to “try and go.”

Many parents credit this simple $10.00 invention with making the whole process a lot easier and a lot more fun. Of course, you don’t need it and you will still have to do the prep work with little Suzie and stay on top of the whole thing as she learns how to use the toilet. But having the watch remind her — instead of just you or a possibly less-than-mindful sitter — can help her stay motivated and on schedule to be successful.
