It seems like a a lot depends on signs. We'll keep watching LO, but I'm not in a rush at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216818 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 22:59:34 +0000 Maysprout 2216818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We introduced early and do a combo of following their lead and encouraging. It can be slower and we def had some accidents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216810 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 22:30:15 +0000 Chuckles 2216810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: telling you when they are peeing or pooping in their diapers and being able to pull pants up and down mostly independently are also signs of readiness </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216809 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 22:28:02 +0000 Truth Bombs 2216809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shortly after two we had some good success and then all of a sudden she completely lost interest. The pedi told us the worst thing we could do was push it. So we just went along with it. She just turned two and a half and moved up to a new room at day care and the big kids are all potty trained so she is ON BOARD. We've gone accident free 5 of the last 6 days so I think we're almost there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216806 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 22:06:51 +0000 dolphin 2216806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started at 20 months but I didn't transition her to underwear until 28 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216792 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 21:14:01 +0000 pinkb 2216792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are at 2.5 and she is just starting to show signs she is ready. I am hoping for it to be done by 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216786 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 20:57:57 +0000 MoonMoon 2216786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: from my understanding, it's understanding the potty process, and having the physical capacity to control your body. Also, things like showing an interest in the potty, going longer periods without wet diapers, and being aware/unhappy when they have a dirty diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216784 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 20:45:26 +0000 Bao 2216784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>28 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216768 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 20:12:49 +0000 jetsa 2216768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DCP plans to do it at 2 (sept) so that's our plan. We tried one weekend a few weeks ago and he didn't get it but now has control so I think sort will be perfect </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216725 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 19:11:53 +0000 yellowbird 2216725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>28 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216706 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 18:33:55 +0000 regberadaisy 2216706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was potty trained ~ 27m. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216705 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 18:32:17 +0000 knittylady 2216705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious, (and hope this isn't a thread jack) what are the signs of readiness? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216637 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 16:23:33 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2216637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 weeks after her second birthday.

I don't want to push it until he seems ready. He has a potty and likes to sit on it sometimes, but he doesn't actually pee in it. We read potty books and he knows all the terms but he's just not interested! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216548 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 14:57:15 +0000 Mamasig 2216548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 is 33 months and has shows readiness signs for MONTHS, yet he refuses to sit on the potty. So at this point, I'm just waiting for him to hand me underwear and say no more diapers. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216542 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 14:53:19 +0000 HabesBabe 2216542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Started around 33 months. She was super ready and it was relatively easy! We did try the 3-day method earlier (around 2 1/2) but it didn't work out. I LOVED the "Oh Crap, Potty Training" ebook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216540 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 14:50:22 +0000 HLK208 2216540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 years but she really wasn't interested until 2.5 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216538 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 14:47:44 +0000 NovBaby1112 2216538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We plan on trying in a month or so...she isn't ready now (2.5) so I am hoping by 3, 3.5... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216535 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 14:46:30 +0000 birdofafeather 2216535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>she lead the way at 22 months, but we've been dealing with it for 7 months basically with going PT, moving, regressions, etc. BLAH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216531 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 14:44:52 +0000 yoursilverlining 2216531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are doing it now at 3. HB seems IMO to skew early for potty training; most people I know IRL waited until at least 3 (or very near to 3 to train, several waited until closer to 4) and our pediatrician said that's what he normally sees too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216529 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 14:43:35 +0000 BKCaribBaby 2216529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: I wonder about that. My friend started with her LO before 2, and her LO seemed to have the same reaction. Apparently she won’t go near a potty now. I hope it gets better for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-potty-train-1#post-2216527 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 14:42:26 +0000 Smurfette 2216527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started at 27 months.
