My LO is 23 months and she does the same thing. We have tried the potty but no poops in there so far. She goes as soon as we put a diaper back on. We are potty training (OCPT) this weekend. I don't think poop is going to click until she goes diaperless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-some-potty-training-advice#post-2302106 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 11:14:24 +0000 Freckles 2302106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's good if you continue taking him to the potty when he says he has to! It's a great sign that he's showing an interest, so i'd just take it slowly and not rush it. :)</p> <p>Did he actually poop in the potty? Does he want to get off right away or will he stay on for a while? Maybe see if you can get him to stay on it for a few minutes, but no pressure if he doesn't poop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-some-potty-training-advice#post-2302031 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 10:20:11 +0000 ShootingStar 2302031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 22 months and for the past few weeks he's been telling us when he needs to poop. *Most* of the time he does poop within about 5 minutes of telling us. He also tells us regularly when he has pooped, although it's not true all of the time, lol. </p> <p>We've tried taking him to use the potty when he tells us, but so far he hasn't actually gone in it. We've tried both the big potty and a little potty. I think maybe he gets scared of the big potty, and I think sometimes he just decides he wants to play with the flush or both of them. </p> <p>We are not actively trying to potty train, but we are trying to follow his lead. He does not tell us when he has to pee, except sometimes when's doing in the bath tub (awesome, right?). </p> <p>Anyways, I'm not sure if anyone has any suggestions. Should we keep putting him on the potty when he says he has to poop? Is this a sign that he is close to be ready for full on potty training? I feel like he's still pretty young, but 2 mornings this week he's told me had to poop and then did right away. And then as we were leaving today he went in the bathroom and said he wanted to pee pee in the potty. </p>
