I keep wanting to with my daughter but we have so many things planned in the next month that I think I need to wait til July. But I potty trained my son at 21 months using the Oh Crap Potty Training method and it went so well! He was more than ready and could verbally tell me when he needed to go which was helpful. I decided not to do nighttime training and kept him in diapers until he woke up dry for a week straight. He actually woke me up in the middle of the night for the first few nights when we started potty training so that I could take him to the potty (so be prepared for a little sleep disruption) but overall it went really smooth!

We are using Big Little Feelings course about it and I don't think my son is *quite* there yet. However he asks to go potty but then gets scared of our big toilet so I think we need a smaller one for him

My baby is poop trained but getting her pee trained has been tough - I tried a couple months ago and then took a break but I’ll probably start again soon

I followed this method detailed in this podcast and started around 15 months, he’s 20 months now and it’s going great. It’s not like it would be with an older kid, like it didn’t happen in 3 days but I’m much happier not changing diapers and my son is very happy being more independent https://open.spotify.com/episode/43yA2Bjbsi8txKl9bvTFbZ?si=iMCKcIH9RMK4-8OS0Pjwlw

My daughter started showing signs at 18 months. She would follow me to the bathroom so I put her pot in there. By 20 months she would tell me she need to be changed or tell me she had to use it. By maybe 23m she was ok throughout the day but wore pull-ups at night. By 26 months she was fully potty trained with a couple of bedtime accidents here and there but I use the little pee pads from the hospital or for pets so she didn’t mess up her bed. I would have a treasure box in the bathroom and every-time she potty correctly (wipe, wash hands, etc.) she could get a treasure. We also did a potty chart which she loved. I made it like a monopoly type game on her wall with poster boards, cut outs, and Velcro. The thing in my opinion that helped the most was having a schedule. Putting her pot in the bathroom and have her go when I go. They also have potty watches you set alarms on. Consistency is key. Also the potty she had was very extra lol but it made her want to use it.

daycare director told us boys are slower to potty train. not really stressing it. my son follows me to the bathroom, and his mini potty is set up there just so he knows the routine of it when he's ready.

I’m wanting to start! We’ve done it on & off for a while. She does good going pee but like to squat when pooping so haven’t got that yet. Just need to stay consistent with it

My son is 20 months, he’s been waking me up to Change his diaper for about a month now. I’ve put him on the pot here and there. But 2-3 weeks ago is when I start taking it serious. He pooped on the toilet, I praised him and he started telling me sometimes. I started the journey off by watching a video on YouTube on potty training in 3 days. I set a timer on my watch every 10 minutes to take him to use the potty. He’s now at the point where he tells me everytime, stays dry all day. Only time I put a diaper on him is when he’s sleep or we leave the house. I say consistency and patience is the key. And put them in underwear! They’ll think it’s ok to use it in pull ups.
