Potty training
Show your support
About a week. Was done a dusted a week after her 2nd birthday x
My girl is 3 next month and is still flat out refusing to potty train. Stressing out over it.
@Sarah honestly, I wouldn’t stress. My eldest is 4 in July and he’s only just now accepted the potty/toilet in the last week after trying since November
2.5 for both my girls. It took a couple of weeks for my eldest to be completely accident free. With my youngest we’re at 3 weeks and counting 🫠
We didn’t potty train our kids. They did it entirely on their own.
I started 17m and now my almost 18.5 is doing very well. She knows the word potty , how to pee/poop in toilet, tells me when she needs to go. Obviously still have pee diapers some time to time but 90% we’re peeing in toilet and when we’re out and about I have a travel one that fits on toilets and she’s goes in public. I plan to have it completed by age 2. I’m not rushing it and doing to slow and she caught on to it very well and finds it fun to pee on big girl toilet like mom
My eldest I started around 2 ish, but it was awful and took forever! I then didn't start with my son until he was just over 3, he then mastered it within 2 weeks. So, with my 3rd (girl) I'm in no rush to start before her 3rd birthday!
First tried 2y 2m and he wasn’t getting it. Tried again 2y 10m and got it straight away
2. It took a weekend for day and another week for nights
One child we started at 2.5 and she wasn’t fully trained until around 3. We had some setbacks with constipation issues. So, it dragged things out a bit as we worked through that. My other child started around 18 months. We were really casual with her and let her go when she wanted and didn’t push her. She was fully potty trained both day and night at 2.

14 months. Got her pee trained in a week or two. Poop took longer as I was still reintroducing dairy due to her having cmpa and she got constipated and had a fear of pooping afterwards. She is poop potty trained by 21 or 22 months. Took a gi visit and some meds to get her regular again. Pooping just fine now. I'm not really rushing the process. Plan on nap training once I see consistent dry nap pullups. All that said I did EC from 6months. Did potty training at 14months, by 16months we had minimal misses. I would suspect potty training to go similarly. You do commando, or naked for day 1-2, then take them every 45min to an hour. In meantime, teach them how to pull their clothes on/off and practice mounting a potty. Any jags is usually indicator for more independence/privacy vs them actually having malicious intentions. Have realistic expectations. Most children over 12months can hold urine for an hour after they learn to consolidate pee.
Tried at 2 and it just wasn’t happening. Tried at 3 1/2 once he started showing signs (taking diaper off, pp dance) and we got it down in less than a week.

They were all around 3 and all got it within a month, both day and night. I introduced a potty early, but just to get them used to it. They could sit on it but didn't want to use it, I waited until they said they wanted to use it. My youngest is back in diapers since it's easier to track his ins and outs while he's in treatment but I expect him to get back to using the toilet by the end of the year.
@SquishyMommy1 by what age did they do it on their own? It blew my mind to find out some ppl don’t potty train, not in a judgy way but more so that I just didn’t know that was a thing until my sitter mentioned that she didn’t potty train any of her kids. I’m also a first time mom so I just assumed potty training was just something everyone just does 🤷🏽♀️
@Eboni 💗 between 4-4.5 for all of them
2.5 years with both. My son was a little over a week. My daughter didn’t even take a full 2 days.
