Potty training……?
My 14 month old daughter(and only child) is showing interest in the potty. She actually has been since she was around 9-10 months. She wants to be in there all the time when I go in. If she doesn’t, then she gets mad then cries, and pounds on the door. lol But when she is, she gets this excited look on her face and gasps & claps.(so cute) For now, I just take her in and sit her down on her potty(with diapers still on of course) when I’m in there. So I want to know how some of you went about starting your toddlers on potty training, and what techniques did you use?? =)
The big question is how much is she using the bathroom through the night…if she is still wetting alot at night you will not be able to completely train her until she has no problems going through the night. There is nothing wrong with getting her mind in the game and letting her try to use the potty when you do. Thats great. I know everyone says that pullups are a crutch but if you use them this early they will actually benefit you. Get her a potty of her own but make sure it doesn’t have too many gadgets on it or it will take her mind off of what you are trying to get her to do. Just don’t turn her away from going on the potty. If she struggles for months with getting it down, well thats just potty training for you. Not really an easy thing.

OMG. Jump on it fast. Start her asap, my son was pertified of having his nappy off and doing a job himself, it took me months. My niece is very similar to your situation, and my sister put her on the potty, and she’s nearly 2 and fully trained, except at night time.

All kids are different, and knowing what the potty is and what it’s for is a good start on potty training. Once they walk, toddlers sometimes think it’s fun if you go potty and they also get a turn to sit there — whether they actually go or not.
However, keep in mind that from a physical development point of view, most children are between two and five when they learn to take control of bladder and colon — so don’t let early interest lead you to expect too much too soon. I like to potty train at two years, and tell the two year old that it’s their job to go use the potty when they have to pee or poop — and then I leave the bathroom door open so they can run in there when it’s time! This worked great with my three and the grandkids also like being able to head in there on their own when they have to go . . . and they know grandma will follow and help if their pants get stuck.
