DS learned to pee in the toilet the first day. Poop took about 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-potty-training#post-1261995 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 12:07:30 +0000 yin 1261995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Attempted to potty train at 16 months, which was very unsuccessful. By 22 months he was ready and frequently asking up use the potty. I wasn't ready since I was in my first trimester with DS2 and delayed until 26 months. He was fully trained in three days including nap and night time. I think early introduction helped us a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-potty-training#post-1261973 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 12:03:54 +0000 littlek 1261973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard potty training is easier with girls... so I'm in no rush to start potty training until B is ready </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-potty-training#post-1261306 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 10:09:59 +0000 lemondrop 1261306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We aren't even worrying about it until at least 2 1/2. We have #2 arriving this spring, so I'm sure that big life change will set us back and I just don't want to deal with it with a newborn. Plus I really don't mind diapers. We have a potty, and he knows what it is and sits on it, but we are gradually introducing the idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-potty-training#post-1261239 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 10:00:29 +0000 Lindsay05 1261239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have tried putting DD on it at 17 months. She has been reaching down at her diaper letting us know something was going on so we thought we would see what would happen. She knows to sit on the potty but still hasn't done anything on it yet. She gets pretty impatient so I don't want to fight her and make it a negative thing so are skipping it for while. I don't really see the point in fighting it so we'll try again in a couple months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-potty-training#post-1261216 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:56:45 +0000 Smar11 1261216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we are going to start to try around 2. My LO is also 18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-potty-training#post-1261191 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:52:01 +0000 prettylizy 1261191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have her potty out and she has used it a few times but we aren't working at it yet. I'm fairly certain she is going to regress when the new baby comes (right around her 2nd bday) so we're not going to try anything serious until she's adjusted to having a sibling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-potty-training#post-1261176 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:49:28 +0000 autumnlove 1261176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 28 months...that is when daycare really reinforces it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-potty-training#post-1261111 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:36:44 +0000 MamaBehr 1261111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm happy we waited until almost 2.5, because we have had very little accidents and no negative associations with it. It was a quick and smooth transition! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-potty-training#post-1261037 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:21:44 +0000 littlek 1261037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking 2 because potty isn't really reinforced at daycare until he moves to the 2 year old room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-potty-training#post-1260992 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:08:01 +0000 Mamaof2 1260992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put the potty seat out at 18 months but didn't really "train" - we just offered the potty all the time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-potty-training#post-1260977 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:04:34 +0000 littlek 1260977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious... I was thinking we would try around the 2 year mark. LO is currently 18 months </p>
