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.

Anybody body start potty training at 1? Like starting with once a day going the same time every day ? To get them on schedule ?? I was 🤔 maybe like before bed to put her on the potty , since I work early in the am and usually don’t have time . Edit: training a girl
When you did you guys fully have your toddlers potty trained ? I’m having a hard time potty training my 2 year old any advice or tips on training a 2 year old boy ? 😩
Questions for older kids: when did ya'll start potty training? Is before 18 months to soon or no? How long did it take to get them potty trained?
This week I’m going to start the potty training journey. I just pulled out her potty chair and she was so excited. I would love to hear any tips you have!!!

@ginag918, you're right. I got some of the gerber kind that's training pants but cotton. they have a thicker crotch so it catches some of the pee but they feel they are wet. I may just have to suck it up and pray for my floors and sanity. haha to her pull ups are basically a diaper so she's like huh I'll just pee in this instead.

Awwww she just don't want to lose her privilege lol , yea them pull ups man are pricey! I say you may just have to take a whole day and put her in panties and thug it out lol it may get messy but a few days of that and she may get it. I seen that work with a few of my little cousins who basically knew what to do but didn't want to give up the pull up lol have to have lots of panties on hand at least 3/4 pair a day which you can hand wash n hang dry @nicemmcha2015

@ginag918, the issue with mine and diapers is size 6 don't even fit her butt right. she pees everywhere. so she's in pull ups because only they fit right. buying a box of 3s for my 4 month old and a box of pull ups every 2 weeks is ridiculous. 😏 she knows how to do it it's like she just wants to stay a baby like her sister. 😒

Lol no trick, by now her poop routine at least in the am and after eating lunch is pretty consistent so after breakfast I sat her on potty she tried to get up a few times but I had cartoons on and she sat and pooped! I put water in the potty so it made a sound when it landed lol and when We heard it I just started clapping and saying "yay Gia" she so likes to be praised for doing something lol the only thing is being consistent even when you want to quit. Fortunately for me she's super tall and thin so she's been in the same size diapers between size 3/4 since she was like 9 months but I really don't want to buy them anymore either 😩😩😩 @nicemmcha2015
