whats the best way to potty train a 1year old?

Answer 1

I bought a potty chair when my daughter was 10 months old for her to get aquantied with it. She already follows me to the bathroom everytime I go so why not let her sit on her potty? When she turned 11months I started sitting her on her potty whenever I would go or whenever I went near the bathroom IF she wanted to or when I saw her pooping. 11 1/2 months she started pooping in her potty faithfully. She pee'd occasionally more than in her diaper. When she turned a year she walked to the bathdoor and pushed it open and ever since she's pooped in her potty everytime. She is 15 months now and rarely pee's in her diaper. She loves to go potty and she even *trys* to wipe herself. She puts the lid down when she's done and claps and will tell you "I Pooped" or "I go potty". She cant control her bladder at night yet but does amazingly well. She has her days where she'd rather stay outside then come in but other than that it takes us forever to go through a box of diapers/pull ups. She's not pulling her pants down and going all by herself yet though. She gets me when she has to go.

One day she was poo'ing and well so was I. She says "I poooooooped" and I said Mama did too. I get up and clean her potty out and dump it in mine and she says "You did" really excited.

Oh, and my daugther is really tall so her feet already touch the floor when she goes potty. Once I take off her diaper she walks to her potty and gets on it and goes all by herself.

Your little one isn't too early to start letting her sit on it when you go or when you see her pooping take her to the potty and say "C'mon Mama is going to take you to the Potty". I never pushed my daughter just let her go at her own pace and PRAISE her when she goes potty. I always gave my daughter 2 pretzels when she did and the next week smarties, switched back and forth and she loved it.

I ask my Daughter if she has to go potty, poop, pee pee and she either says "yes" or "no while shaking her head No" and thats that. If she says Yes then I take if it's No then I don't.

I think that one is too young to be potty training. I introduced my son to a potty when he was like 16 months..and showed him what to do but didn't expect him to actually do on it. I would show him on occasion and sometimes have him sit on it but I didn't push the issue. Remember one is still incredibly young and a one year old most likely won't understand what you are expecting from them. Two is a better age to try at I think. My son was fully potty trained right after he turned two (maybe a month or two after) I started a couple months before he turned two. What I did was stopped all together with diapers and made him go on the potty every 20 minutes. I didnt even use pull ups (except for at night). I always packed extra clothes but if he had an accident he knew what it felt like to be wet and it made him want to use the potty. Best of luck. If your child doesn't seem to be catching on or willing to do it don't force it because it will make things miserable for the both of you.

Answer 3

One year olds are too young to potty train. What you can do now is begin to use the words you will use when potty training each time you change a diaper. Just like babies go through stages from learning to roll over, to crawling, to walking, there are stages in toilet training.

Diaper time can be a wonderful routine where you can sing, do nursery rhymes. Later, in a year or so, your baby will be ready for more.
Best wishes!

I introudced the chair to my daughter when she was a year old, but she did not like it, now she's 18 months, and she likes it. I give her a m&m when she sits on it, and she gets 3 when she goes in it... I also sit her down every hour, on the hour, or atleast we try. Sometimes I also leave her diaper off, and put her in training pants (Just a thicker underwear really) so she knows what it feels like to be wet. Also the best time to put them on the potty is when they first wake up... I didn't beilve it either, I thought she went pee all night, but early in the morning she really does have to go. Hope this helps, but it won't be done in a week.

Answer 5

you really cant... thats a young age to be potty training. Just hold tight until the child is ready to be potty trained. Most ppl usually start potty training at the age of three.

Answer 6

You made a nasty alternative! You will have to have began porry coaching while you first received her!!! Now you're going to have a protracted wrestle. If she has an coincidence, she has to move in a crate. When she can not be suppervised, within the crate she is going. When you pass to permit her out, placed it subsequent to the door and take her emediatly out. No lally gagging in any other case she'll potty within. You HAVE to stroll her round untill you notice her perform a little industry. You can not supply in considering it is raining, bloodless or anything. Get her a puppy coat in case your that concerned. You've created a terrible habbit and now you're buying it. Whenever she is going potty external, you larger have a deal with in a position and gift that puppy BIG time. Lots of compliment! You're going to have plenty of lengthy walks to get her to move potty external. If you can not suppervise, she should be in a crate. To blank up messes, I advocate Nature's Miricle. You can discover it at a puppy retailer. Good Luck... You have a protracted street forward of you.

Answer 7

1 year old is way too young for potty training. Wait until at least 2.

Answer 8

A one year old is most likely NOT ready to potty train. Wait until your child is older and shows some signs of being ready and it will be much easier.

Answer 9

don't!!! trying to force a kid to potty train too early will only lead to accidents and bedwetting - always encourage it but they are usually more receptive to it when they are a little older and other kids around them are doing it - they will always regress at some point too - they want to be big kids but don't want to give up mommy at that point - take it easy no rush - letting it take a little longer now means no hassles when they finally get there - potty training early is for the parents convienence not the childs anyhow...

Answer 10

Wait about two years! When the child is ready, it goes very quickly. And all (normal) kids do get trained - after all, how many 11-year-olds wear diapers!? If you are impatient it is very frustrating for both you and the child - so chill.
