My DD2 just turned 17 months and I've brought out our floor potty for almost 2-3 weeks? I don't set heron it or anything yet. But she's interested in us going potty so I thought it doesn't hurt to get her familiar. In a few weeks I might start setting her on it at bathtime.

We were just talking about this too! I'm fascinated by American notions of potty because I think traditionally in Korea they introduce the concept of potties quite early even if the full process takes a long time. But I think a lot of it is correlated to when kids become more verbal or understand basic commands better. I'm virtually certain that before my brother and I were two our grandmothers and mom put us on the potty regularly while making shhhh sounds to encourage us to try peeing. I think the time they always start with is first thing in the AM before breakfast. But DH and I haven't figured out when we want to try yet. Maybe once Sam begins talking a bit more. All I know is our preferred preschool won't take kids who aren't potty trained so we would reallllly like him to be ready before the age of 3!

Never did a little one. I think around 21 months we started sitting her on the toilet before bath.

For my son, we got one around 26 months and trained at 30 months.

For my DD, the potty has been in the bathroom forever, she knows what it is and what it is for and even expresses interest sometimes. But we haven't started training yet (she's 26 months).

I don't think it really matters until you are ready to start training. My daughter is currently not interested in training, so we are just waiting it out.

They started introducing it at daycare at 18 months or so. He didn't really use until after two though. At 27 months or so we got toilet seats as well. He potty trained himself (day and night at once) at 30months. I honestly believe the early and constant exposure made it easy for him because he just wasn't scared etc.
