When did everyone potty train their kids? My LG is 24 months and very good at talking and understanding. I started potty training her but have had people comment they think it’s too early? I thought it was about normal?

When they show the signs that they are ready.
We initially tried at 20 months (ish) then she got ill so we took a break until 2 years and 4 months. She did really well.

We did it at 20months with no signs of readiness (I've read that it's a marketing trick by nappy companies to keep kids in nappy's longer so they sell more and it's not recommended by bladder and bowel experts) and she was 80% potty trained in a week. Did the oh crap method worked really well. Definitely not too early.

Potty training is basically helping them “unlearn” everything we’ve taught them so far (ie to pee and poop in a nappy). It’s a process, not a one-time thing. So with that in mind, you can start whenever you like.
Some people start from birth! (As in, don’t even start using nappies, or use nappies but alongside the potty).
The average age nowadays is a lot older than it was a few decades ago, so 2 might be considered young to some. But it’s absolutely doable.

As above with Samantha! We totally dedicated that first week to it, didn’t take my eyes off her.

yep eyes on with a potty in reach at all times! We actually confined ourself to the kitchen diner area because it's tiled and easier clean up!

I did my daughter at 25 months, it wasn’t too early for us. You know your child better than anybody else and you know what she’s capable of. How is it going?

Totally normal she's still learning. We don't stop letting them try and walk just because they fall over!

If you think she’s ready, do it! My son was out of nappies at 17m ☺️ you can do whatever works for your child
