Potty training

My little boy is 20 months and discovered his genitals the past few months and now absolutely hates nappy changes and never wants his nappy on he wears pull up as they are supposed to be easier but it would be easier wresting a alligator he can take his trousers off to get to his nappy to put his hand down it and take his nappy off he also says wee and poo or dirty if he had a poo would it be worth getting a potty just to see if he is interested or is it too early my other 2 was 2 when they was potty trained but my oldest son was 2 and half and just said "mummy I'm big boy no more nappy" Obviously my little boy isn't as talkative yet advise is appreciated 😁

I think it’s worth getting a potty to at least try associate it even if he’s not ready to use it yet! My boy definitely isn’t there yet 😅x

It's worth a try my friends lo was dry at 10 months so it's possible he's ready

He isn't dry yet but he hates his nappy on I think I'm gonna look at getting on xx

I got my little girl a potty at the start of summer and she is now using it every day. She’s still in nappies when we go out and she’s just starting to understand how pants work (she’s been naked most of the time which she prefers anyway 🙃) but she can put shorts and leggings on so she’s working out now if she has those on without a nappy she needs to pull them down to use her potty. I also got one of those toilet step/seat things for her and she uses that as well. I think if he wants to be free it’s totally worth having the option there for him, he’ll probably get the hang of it quickly having an older brother to watch as well

Hi mamas please suggest what pottys you are using for trials or any other tools? My LO is also 20m in same situation always wants to rip off his nappy when no clothes are on and always trying to put his hand down his nappy and fights nappy changing. Maybe he is ready for training x

I’d get a potty but don’t put any pressure on either of you with it. Ours has been sitting in the bathroom for a while ignored for the most part. We’ve just moved house in the last week and to keep my son safe while the house is being organised I’ve often had to bring him into the bathroom with me. He started spontaneously sitting on his potty and saying wee wee when I go. He has a bit of a habit of peeing as soon as I put him in the bath so a few days ago before I was about to put him in I asked if he wanted to do a week in his potty. I sat him on it and to my surprise he went! He’s done it every day before bath time since so I guess this is the start for us. I’m not sure how the next steps will go but I won’t rush it, I guess just encourage it a bit more as times goes on.
