Ruining potty training? My 19 month old occasionally tells us when he needs to poop by pointing at…

Glitch.

I did the samw thing with my boys, i just had the potty out and before and after bath every night would put them on it, if they went, great, if not..no biggie. I stsrted at 20 month so i think your son is good on his own. I did this for probably 4-6months and then by the time.my sons were 30 months they were completwly trained. I would just follow your sons ques.

u guys are wayyyyy ahead of us im sooo jealous we haven't even started working on this yet was gonna try after the first of the year

Thanks for sharing your experience, kzim!

Kelly, I've just sat his potty in front of the toilet. He sits on it all the time fully clothed, and he's been giving cues about being about to poop by pointing for a while (mostly while he poops, occasionally before). I just stuck him on the potty when he started acting like he was gonna poop... and he did!

Of course, he looked in the potty and freaked out when something was there. He was scared of it. ? Second time, he was still unsure about it.

He's getting what the potty is for, but I don't think he's ready for 100% training.

I always let me ds to use it when he wanted to. Never tried to push him. At first I did want to start potty training him but he showed no interest. Suddenly one day at about 2-1/2 he just went or in his undies and he literally wash just trained like he was done with diapers and from then on he rarely has accidents. Go at his speed. ?

He's still pretty young so I say just go at his pace. If he wants to use the potty then great, let him. If he doesn't, then don't push him. If he starts going more and more then maybe switch him to pull-ups and teach him how to pull his pants up and down. Just go slow and don't be surprised if he regresses at some point.

my LO Is in daycare and they won't help with potty training until she's 2. She won't be two until March.

we bought a potty and I put her on when she wakes up every morning.

that's the most consistent we got lol.

she can't tell me she has to go yet so no rush.
