Here's her bio and general tips: Hello I am Ceiamaria I am a stay at home Mother to 4 children ages 12,8,7 and 11 months old. I am happily married for 12 years and we are still going strong. I am determined and driven for success FAILURE isn't an option for me. I potty trained my oldest at 9 months old. My 2 middle son's were more difficult they were between 18 months and 2 years old. My baby boy was showing interest in potty training, I decided to buy him a potty chair. Potty training tips 1.) Don't rush your child 2.)Don't yell at your child 3.) Don't punish your child for having accidents 4.) Don't give you child candy 5.) Don't compare other children to your child 6.) Do praise your child 7.) Clap your hands when your child goes to the potty. 8.)Take your child every 15-30 minutes to the potty 9.)Don't criticize your child 10.) I don't recommend pull ups but I don't bash mothers who decided to use them. 11.) Remember potty training is not taught in one day you have to be determined to potty train your child.

@karynacolon92 that's a great idea! I do kinda feel like her being able to walk would help too. I'm gunna give it a shot though!

I started with Liam at 4 months and that's how I would do it. As soon as he would wake up we'd go straight to the potty and also after every bottle. And everything I would sit down is sit him down with me.

@karynacolon92 I do take her with me once in awhile. I'll have to bring her more often I guess. lol
And do you mean take her to the potty a little after she eats and wakes up in the morning??

Every time you go take her with. Every time she wakes up and every time she eats

that would be good because you need to encourage her to tell you when she needs to go as much as possible

Look up elimination communication. It's usually started earlier than 13 months but 13 months isn't necessarily too late to start EC

i would take her every 30 min to 45 mins give small prizes or make it really fun when she actually uses the potty my son liked to have dance parties. it helps if they can walk or talk enough to say potty so you know if they need to go in between you taking them

Are you sure she's ready? Mine sure isn't. When I googled about potty training last week, there are signs too look out for that indicate your child is even ready.
