My son will be 2 in March and he still isn’t completely potty trained. I don’t want to rush it to the point where he resents the potty. What age did your baby potty train and what are some tips you can share to help things along. Thanks for answering : )

My son is three and he is completely potty trained, at night we put some night time pants on in case of an accident (he never has them) so he has been fully trained for almost a year now.
This is what I did with my son
Ask your son every 45-1 hour if he needs to go potty (he will most likely say no) and after an hour and half or so make him sit on the potty and say "I better hear you go" and he should go (you can give him a little treat like cookies or candy), make a chart and leave it next to the potty and have him put a sticker on it every time he goes and at the end of a week get him a little prize.
Best of Luck
I have three children, they were 2, 2 1/2 and almost 3 before they were potty trained, you can not rush them, you will know when they are ready.
My daughter was 3 before she was totally potty trained. She still has accidents and she’ll be 4 March 30. Honestly, for each kid is different. When he starts complaining about the diaper, its time to potty train.
My daughter was not quite 3 1/2.
Do not rush him.
I waited until my daughter was ready, and we had completed our move halfway across the country. I finally took away the pull ups at night and we have only had a couple of accidents since October.
My twins are 11 nearly, Kylie was fully trained at 3 and her twin brother Thomas <<<<still isn’t but he is trying his best !
My daughter was about 18 month. But from what I hear it’s diffrent for boys and girls. My doctor told me not to rush her and let her do it when she was ready. good luck
Well I wasn’t pushing my son either I wanted him to be comfortable but yesterday I walked in the bathroom and he was standing up wiping his own tush! I walked over and praised him gave him a high five and was SOOOO PROUD!!! Then 30 min later he came and told me he pooped in his floor!!! AHHHH I wanted to scream! I told him I was not putting another diaper on his bottom! I know he understands me! I didn’t want to push it but I just have had it he even peed on me one day after I asked him if he needed to go and he peed on me! I was like what the crap! Oh and he will be 3 in May!
I started by sitting him with me or his daddy whenever we used the bathroom, and then for his first b-day we bought him a potty. He didnt show any interest in actually using it so we just set it to the side and let him get used to the presence of it lol. So anyway, a month after he turned two i decided i was sick of having two babies in diapers so i bought him big boy underwear and sweats, put them in a basket he could reach in his room, and took him completely out of diapers. At first it was long and hard, and pretty gross, but now 3 months later he is completely potty trained, and so proud of himself!
The best tips i could give u is take him out of diapers, always keep underwear on him, explain, and be patient.
Good Luck it can happen!lol
My daughter started at 2 1/2.
And boys usually take longer.
My daughter mastered it literally two days before her 3rd birthday.
My personal philosophy is to wait until the child lets you know he/she is ready to potty train. With my first, she was a wee bit over 3 years old. She trained in about a month or two. The bowel movements is what held things up. She only had ONE accident at night.
The longer you wait the less stressful it will be and the less amount of time it will take.
Sometimes we forget how terrible it is to sit on a cold(!) toilet board, so remember to warm the potty a little bit before you ask your child to sit on it
My older son learned to use the potty very early and quickly, he was about 1 year old. My younger son is now 23 months old and he does not want to sit at all hahahaa…Even observing the older brother../ I am trying slowly , not pushing him too much…
My son was completely potty trained at 2.5.
my oldest daughter started at age 2 and was fully done by 21/2 i put a poster bored on the door every time she went i gave her a sticker to put on it. I never pused her tho.
3yrs of age, boy was that road rocky too. Good Luck!
Baby #1 Boy: 32 months
Baby #2 Boy: 24 months
Just keep up with what you are doing. Potty training can be a lengthy process for some. He will get it eventually, don’t worry, just be consistent, and not pushy.
I have a 2yr old daughter myself,
so… when she was 1, i got her a potty that sings, flushes, and lights up it cost about $40 but WORTH it!
I left it where she can always see it, and feels comfortable…
and so every now an again i wud tell her ” No pee pee in pamper, only potty”… so everytime she did pee pee in pamper i would show her to next time do it in the potty… over and over…
then 3months later i was watching t.v and she came with the buget and told me ”pee pee in da potty!”. and so then i rewarded her and gave her a small lollypop… they come in a big bag with like 300 of them and there inexpensive… and they a good source of rewards…
so maybe u can try it and when he’s ready he’ll go by himself…
now she’s 2 and is fully potty trained on;y time she uses a pamper is to sleep…
gud luck =]
We started at 5 months with my daughter, and she is now 10 months, and poops exclusively in the potty. She also pees in her potty, but also pees in her diaper. Because we offer her the potty on a regular basis, she has devellopped BM control, and I am convinced that she also has blader control, but that our timing is sometimesoff, so she pees in her diaper.
I think, like everything you do with your child, you need to be loving and patient as he unlearns and relearns how to pee and poop. It`s a process. I think not rushing it is a good idea.
I would consistently offer him the potty, at every diaper change, have him sit on it. Give him some special toys to play with, that he can only have on the potty and maybe even a bit of privacy. Some children have issues releasing their bowels with an anxious parent looking over them, talking ot them and stimulating them. I placed some mats under my daughters potty and give her some toys, then I leave her to do `her business".
Lots of praise, maybe a chart and rewards could help too.
Good Luck!
(and I hope I don`t get too many neg ratings for infant potty training, it was really a natural porcess for us to assist her with the potty, just like we help her with everything else – every famiuy is different, and there is no right or wrong way of potty training, as long as it`s done with love!)
My twins were both potty trained around their first birthday (when they started walking). I was 18 and didn’t have time to waste on changing diapers and being lazy about their brain development. If their brain is capable of doing something, they should do it most of the times.
My daughter was fully potty trained when she was 2. She calls me when she needs help with wiping her bum if she poos, but she goes on her own whenever she has to. All kids learn and go at their own pace though.
I let my daughter pick out a pack of ”big girl panties” and let her wear them during the day. She would drink water and I would take her every hour or so to the bathroom so she could get use to going and sitting on the toilet. My daughter did not like the potty, we got her one of those little seats that fit on the toilet she loved it, she was such a big girl using the toilet and not the potty. At night she would wear pull ups just in case, but I didn’t let her have drinks an hour before bedtime so she would wake up dry. We did that for awhile some days went drier than others but just remember it’s a learning process for you both.
