my little girl is 1yr1mo old i get her off the bottle with ease alot easer then i thought she dont even notice its gone which is great do u think it will be easy to potty train her was it easy for you how did you do it

Answer 1

i have a 5 yr old son, and it took like 2 weeks to potty train him. i thought it was a peice of cake. i also have a 2 yr old daughter, who we are currently potty training. its not going so well. very stressful. shes very hard headed and stubborn. she hates sitting on the potty, and doesnt care when shes wet or dirtied herself. she just got to the point where she can almost tell when its about to come out. but all kids are different. the important thing to remember is not to push it too much, or make it stressful on either of you. it takes time.

Answer 2

I don't have any kids but my mother has told stories about her experiences with me.

I was potty trained at two years old. She did not use a floor potty, she used put a seat on the potty so i would not be afraid of falling in. For me it took quite a while because I wet the bed all the time! My sister was the same age and wet the bed once, hated it, and never did it again. So it depends on the child. But if your child whats the bed a lot, put a plastic covering over the bed so it it easier to clean up when they do wet the bed. Also set you alarm for 12, and 4. Get up and wake them up and make them walk to the bathroom. This will get then used to a rutine. Eventually they will wake themselves up. Don't use pull-ups! They are confusing. It teaches the child that if you wet, its fine cause your in a pull-up. Don't push too hard to start the potty-traing process. If you do, they won't want to do it. Once you start, your committed.

But for your girl, don't worry about potty training just yet. Enjoy her while she is young.

About the preschool and potty training issue, my mom owns and is the director of a preschool. Kids must be potty trained by the time they reach the 3 -year old classroom. The two year old room is where they focus on potty-training. So it depends on the school.

Answer 3

I will include my potty training article I suggest 2 1/2 yrs old. It takes as long as it takes and that is the best answer because every child is different. Wetting the bed will gradually get better if not talk to your Dr

YOu picked the perfect age for bottle weaning stick with it!!!

Potty Training with a lot of Prayer

“I gotta Go.” Is now your reality as you take your little one and usher them into adulthood at of all places…the potty! Yes, adulthood may be a little harsh but lets face it if your child doesn’t potty train boy are you in trouble. It has been my expereice that potty training is a serious subject for those who havn’t done it yet, those going through it, or those helping those who need it, but after you get it, no one ever really gives it much thought.

Unfortuanatly with today’s busy life potty training has become a later process than a sooner and it literally gets the ole “Well they were not ready” excuse well before the time it is warranted. In the old days the going age was 2. A firm 2 and if your weren’t at least trying at 2 then you and your child were behind. Then it got pushed to 2 ½ years and you started hearing well they just may not be ready. Now it seems that the age has been pushed to 3 yrs. How long before we get to 4? As a teacher I can tell you 3 year olds are more than ready and actually should have been well on their way well before they ever hit that birthday. The problem could be just how to get you child to connect and for the action to happen.

I suggest that at the age of 2 to 2 ½ you start really changing your child a lot! Introduce them to the idea that potty in your pants is YUCKY! I also recommend swicthing to a pull up at this time and placing your child on the potty every time you change them and let them sit there for a bit just getting used to the idea. Little potties are really good and can be purchased chcaply. Also there is a potty insert seat that you just put right on your exsiting potty. Make it your child’s place. Even stock up on picture books and maybe even little cars or dinosaurs for boys, they must think that this is a relaxing place. Don’t expect any action yet, you guys are just getting used to the whole potty experience. Just in case your child does actually sprinkle or make a BM whoooo hooo you get to celebrate! (Stay tuned for more on the the Potty Party)

The benefits of the pull up are easy, I warn you though don’t expect the pull up to last all through potty training later on it may actually hurt the process. But for now it helps out by separating the child from laying down to change him. This take the baby step out of it and really relates to your child that he/she is a big kid now and do it the big way. It also tears easily apart at the sides for easy clean up. It also helps to catch those mistakes early on in the process. But again be ready because they have a limited time frame for helping, remember it is merely a diaper that pulls up! Any invention they add to the product to help the child feel the potty is really useless in my opionion and experience.

Now, to get them to feel the sensation the biggest part of potty training success. If your child cannot feel they are about to urinate or BM then they can not control it. Easy enough one would think but it is a challenge. There is one method I really like for this, it requires a lot of time so if you are a working parent I suggest now is the time to take a week off from work or if you have a caretaker that you can work with in your home. It is called the bare bottom method. Yes you actually allow your child to run around the house with nothing on the bottom. I know what you are thinking that is just a mess waiting to happen, but everyone I know personnaly who did it right. Only had a few messes and everyone agreed it was no worse than a puppy. The key is to also incorporate the 30 min

Answer 4

My 3 y/o was fully potty trained like a couple months before he turned 3. I did it by just taking the pull ups away and putting him in big kid undies. He instantly started pooping in the potty but he was having a lot of trouble with peeing in them. It took a little while longer for him to pee in the potty. But after i took the pull ups aways it took like 2-3 weeks and he was fully trained. He starts school in sept now and i had to sign papers the other day asking if i need to bring pull ups to school. So i don't think they have to be completely potty trained by the time they start. hope this helps

Answer 5

Your baby is a little young. Leave it alone, the more you push it, the more they resist it.

My daughter pooed for the first time in the potty when she was 18 months old and I thought...yes!!!...she will be trained before she turns 2!!!!!!!! Then it seemed like the more I praised her for it, she thought to herself "hmm.....mommy LIKES it when I do this....I dont want to do it anymore!" And I tried everything for months and months...nothing worked. Finally, I totally backed off (partly because I was very pregnant and tired of it all) and let her wear pull ups again.  Then, one day 2 months before she turned three (and I was breastfeeding a 6 week old infant...worst possible timing  because she couldn't go to the bathroom alone), she woke up one morning and said "Mommy I dont want my pull up any more" And that was it. She had one or two accidents after that and it was done.

My advice is provide the opportunity for your child to sit on the potty and let them go at their own pace. Dont push it or they will not want to do it anymore! Good luck!!!!!

Answer 6

ok.. my daughter started going potty on the toilet at like 18 months, but didn't fully stop wearing diapers(like at night) until she was almost three. And my son started potty training at 18 months, and was completely done by 2. Some kids learn earlier than others, and some say the earlier you try to push the potty the longer it can take. As for the day care. ... they have certain programs that are for 2 year old to older, and yes those kids must be fully potty trained. But all other day cares that accept 1 year olds, they change diapers.

Answer 7

i think i was 2-3 years old and my mom or dad would just take me to the bathroom and guide me through.

Answer 8

My son was 22 months old when he was fully (day and night) trained.  We waited until HE was ready to do it, which made all the difference.  We used cloth training pants, a step stool with a seat that went on the big potty, and were diligent while still letting him decide when he was ready.  It /took a few days, but once he got it, he had it down pat.  Some kids potty train before age 2 and in just a few days, while other kids are over three and/or take longer.  The key is to let them decide when they're ready.  If they regress or protest, put the potty away and wait a few weeks (or even months).  If you push it too much, it will just delay the process even further.  Good luck.

*ETA* I don't think daycare will keep the kid out if he or she isn't potty trained, but most preschools (at least in my area) won't enroll a child who isn't potty trained.  Still, remember that no matter how much you push potty training, your child simply will not do it until she's good and ready.  So encourage her when she shows readiness signs, but never push her to train.  Your baby is only 13 months old; there is plenty of time to train, and she's probably nowhere near ready yet.

Answer 9

My son was about 2 when he was potty trained. I had santa take his bottle and bring him a sippy cup with ho ho picture on it. He was excited about going on a big boy potty. I used a potty chair for a couple months and then bought a seat for the regular potty. Boys are different from girls though so I dont think I can help you with how. We had toilet targets so he could learn to aim. He never had an accident at night though. He was really good at night. I didn't give him alot to drink about 2 hours before bedtime though. The whole thing really took about 3 months for me. Oh I also only used pullups for a couple weeks. He still thought it was a diaper so he didn't care, but when I put him in underwear, he felt when he was wet and he didn't like it. A little messy for a while but it worked. I hope this helps you.
