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!

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).

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.
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
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

we introduced a potty seat around her 1st birthday because she was refusing to poop in her diaper. ever since we put her on the potty seat twice a day and she knows what to do, she still pees in her diaper sometimes though and she is 19months old. Not really sure how to proceed at this point
