He was not interested at the time. We didn't introduce it again until we potty trained at almost 3 years old. My daughter started sitting on the potty seat at 1 and potty trained herself to use the potty at 18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-introduce-a-potty-or-potty-seat#post-784138 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:11:20 +0000 yin 784138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We introduced the potty seat at 16 months. I was hoping to potty train DS, but it didn't work out so well. We continued to encourage him to use it, and at 2 years old he is confident enough to use it when needed. He is not completely potty trained though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-introduce-a-potty-or-potty-seat#post-783750 Wed, 15 May 2013 15:18:41 +0000 littlek 783750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: Wow!

He's fully potty trained now at 3 but it took a while to get there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-introduce-a-potty-or-potty-seat#post-783540 Wed, 15 May 2013 14:00:13 +0000 Honeybee 783540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with DD at 3 months and DS at 2 months. As long as you keep it positive (no pressure) I don't think there's such a thing as too early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-introduce-a-potty-or-potty-seat#post-783538 Wed, 15 May 2013 13:59:31 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 783538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 10m. We sit him on it before bath every night and sometimes he pees. At 17m he'll go and sit on it, fully clothed, for funsies. I'd like to figure out how to get him PT soon though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-introduce-a-potty-or-potty-seat#post-783529 Wed, 15 May 2013 13:57:54 +0000 Mrsbells 783529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone i guess people do it all at different times. I wont pressure her now since she is still very young but since she doesnt want to go in her diaper I have no other choice </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-introduce-a-potty-or-potty-seat#post-783429 Wed, 15 May 2013 13:19:49 +0000 anbanan15 783429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started using a potty chair with DS when he was 2 months old while practicing elimination communication. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-introduce-a-potty-or-potty-seat#post-783422 Wed, 15 May 2013 13:17:32 +0000 heffalump 783422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got it around 18 months, but she's 21 months and still no going in the potty. She'll sit on it when I go to the potty. I just wanted her to get used to it, but we won't really start potty training until she's ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-introduce-a-potty-or-potty-seat#post-783098 Wed, 15 May 2013 11:45:14 +0000 pelikila 783098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 19 months when we potty trained. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-introduce-a-potty-or-potty-seat#post-782984 Wed, 15 May 2013 11:21:50 +0000 brownie 782984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started potty learning with a seat on the big toilet at 6 months old. By a year old, we were sitting on there every morning and every night and occasionally catching a pee. By 18 months he was peeing on the toilet on command. At 2 years old he is daytime pee trained. We did early potty training in the elimination communication idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-introduce-a-potty-or-potty-seat#post-782951 Wed, 15 May 2013 11:15:40 +0000 purrpletulips 782951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to say that we introduced the potty seat around 2 years but can't say for sure. DD showed interest in the potty around that time and was potty trained by the time she was 2 1/2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-introduce-a-potty-or-potty-seat#post-782908 Wed, 15 May 2013 11:06:39 +0000 Mrsbells 782908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is 1 year nd 3 weeks and I am introducing her to a potty seat this week. For the past month since we stopped bottle feedinf her she refuses to poop in her diaper and sometimes tries to hold in her poop and not poop at all. Giving her lots of prunes and pears helps her not to be scared to poop. So her doctor recommended we get a potty seat and just put her on it everyday.<br /> What age did you introduce a potty or potty seat? </p>
