Not really sure how to proceed at this point </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-the-potty-1#post-1232468 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:17:11 +0000 sandy 1232468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started introducing the concept of the potty around 18 months...she even went in it a few times I think bc I just happened to time it correctly. She would watch us go on the potty and clap for is and say "yay" whenever she would hear a toilet flush...hysterical in a public restroom when she cheers for a stranger. </p> <p>She's 24 months and we just finished the 3 day bottomless potty method (and thanks so much to @chopsuey for all her tips/advice)...we started the weekend of Veterans Day and she's potty trained now. She needs a lot of reminders when we are out in public and we keep her bottomless at home but she goes pee/poo in the potty. She is in a diaper for naps and bedtime but wakes from naps dry 90% of the time </p> <p>I say keep it fun early on so they become familiar with the potty and understand what it is for but don't push it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-the-potty-1#post-1232406 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:05:06 +0000 lovehoneybee 1232406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought one a month or so ago. He has little interest in it yet, except to close the lid and use it as a step stool (D brought it home, I wish he'd gotten something a little more toilet-looking). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-the-potty-1#post-1231259 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:00:00 +0000 Bao 1231259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is about to be 15 months old, so she isn't quite ready to be potty trained yet. However, I am curious when others started to introduce the potty. Whether it be, just bringing in a potty seat so LO could get used seeing it around, or putting LO on the potty for fun. I am just trying to prepare since I know it won't be long before we need to start really thinking about this! </p>
