Potty training!
Show your support
@Alex Thank you for sharing 😊 We are sending our girl to a private nursery and one of the conditions is that they are potty trained, they won't accept any child under the age of 3 who isn't, as according to them, there's an epidemic at the moment of babies not knowing how to use the potty (which is part of the reason why we're cracking on). However, we only started because our LG can tell me and her Dad when she needs to use the toilet, and there was no harm in training at this age if they are emotionally/mentally ready to do so (checked with HV and she said the earlier the better, and also girls pick up things a lot faster than boys!).
Yep!! The younger you start the bettwr their foundation is, they can't learn to do something they've never been exposed to!!! Use to be the normal to be out of nappies by 2, but now people seem to think it's weird 🤣 we started at a year, had a few health issues which made us pause, but picked it back up again now xx
Wow that’s impressive! We haven’t started properly training yet but we discuss poo/pee and she can say those words and answer. She sometimes says no when she doesn’t want a change or will say yes when she wants us to get her out of bed so still a learning process. I can ask her if she is pooing (which I can already tell is happening) and she can say yes. So just trying to get her familiar with terms. When she hears a fart she says poo. She doesn’t tell us yet when she needs to go. Think we’d look to maybe start around 2/next summer and heard it’s easier in summer time as not as many layers to worry about but will all depend on her and if she’s ready. Have heard so many mixed things on doing it too early and then early being better so think it just depends on your little one and any other circumstances.
My daughter is most potty trained since 13 months but I have been her on potty since 9 months only couple time then really started after her first birthday
We haven't fully started training as such as my little boy isn't walking or talking yet but we have potty sat since around 9 months, and I know his ques so we get 98% of poos on the toilet and a good amount of wees but very much parent led at the minute. It's never to early to introduce, we just aren't putting pressure on it. Good luck!
Whilst I have absolutely no opinion or view on when anyone potty trains their kid a private nursery with such a condition for under 3s would 100% be a red flag in my book. My LG got the gist at 2.5 no problems but they can frankly get fucked if I was paying over a grand a month to have her there because of some BS epidemic shite talk.
@Mou I don't think it's too much of an ask, personally! We have the money to do it and places have T's and C's, of which we have to respect (otherwise we wouldn't have bothered looking there!); I feel more comfortable knowing that my child is potty trained and around other children who have been potty trained, it's hygienic. We have been to look at other (private) nurseries where children haven't been potty trained, and they're throwing poo around everywhere, so I personally don't think it's too much of an ask! But thank you for your (quite aggressive) opinion 😊
We can agree on disagree, they don't have q shiz about hygiene or epidemics, they cba to change nappies. And yeah I am aggressive I wouldn't even consider that nursery personally.
Glad it’s going well for you!☺️ I’m planning on trying in the new year when our little girl is 18 months. I’ve got a couple potty training books that we’ve had a while, they’re her favourite books and she’s so interested in them! x
Absolutely not, still far too young personally!! My eldest started just after he turned 3, and I was able to successfully do it in less than a week. There is 0 rush to potty train!
