I want to PT DD, who is 22 months old. I think she is ready. We had a naked day the other day, and she went 12 times in the potty (with one BM), but the next day she didn't go at all in the potty.

If you potty trained before the age of two, what age did you do it? Did you do it naked or w/ underwear? Did you put them on the potty every 30 mins or so, or did you wait until they told you they needed to go to put them on the potty?

I think I'm going to try again next week. I'm just not sure what method I want to approach it with.

I would just let her take the lead on it.

Honestly after potty training all 4 and doing everything possible to potty train them, just letting them do it in their own time has worked the best. The more stressed you get about it the worse it seem to get for them.

Right now Tori, who is 2 1/2, is potty trained, but she has been using the toilet since she was 1. We never pushed the issue and just let her do what she wanted. We wait for her to tell us. Also I think having older sisters helped out a lot.

My mom potty trained me when I was two because I said I wanted to be. I wanted some underwear or something that I saw and she said I could have them when I was potty trained.

I was potty trained VERY quickly :D (matter of days)

So really, she didn't do anything.. just helped me do it myself because I was ready.

Liam did, but he only pee'd in it. He started right around his first birthday, and I just went crazy with the praise whenever he went near the toilet. He wore pullups from about that age since he could easily get them off.

I agree with the others. I have not pushed the issue with Emma. She is nearly 3 and not fully potty trainined but wearing big girll undies during the day. I tried early on when she was 2 but she wasn't ready. She began doing it on her own.

When they are ready, it literally is a matter of days :giggle

Then you sit there going :duh for trying to get them do it before they were ready!!

EXACTLY...when they're ready they'll use their words and tell you...I have a friend who "potty trained" her daughter at 18 months and they're still having to ask her constantly if she has to go almost a year later...that would mean mom and dad are potty trained not the child...my dd decided on her own at 2 1/2 she wanted to wear panties and has been in them since day one with MAYBE 3 daytime accidents and this was in February...she also wears panties all night too...just wait till they're saying OK I'm done with the diaper

Whenever they're ready they'll let you know. I wouldn't push the issue before 2, but if he's ready, he's ready. We've had a potty for DD since she was about 18 months. She uses it on and off. She tells me now that she needs her diaper changed, and often says "pee!" right before she needs to go, so we rush to the potty. Whenever she does something in the potty I go nuts with praise but I'm not "pushing" her to potty train yet.

Hunter is not quite two yet (october) but he's just about ready to start also. My other two were already two when we went full force with it, so I doubt we'll do it full force with him right away, but he seems VERY interested and can tell me verbally "pee" and "poop" and "potty" when he has gone or needs to go. So, we're about to start also, and will probably just put him on the potty as frequently as possible, then eventually move to undies later on. Though, I don't think I'll start the undies right away with him.
