When did you start potty training, if you have more than one son, did you start earlier with any one of them. How early and how did it go?

sorry but i have to brag --- my mother potty trained me when i was 6 months old ... she said one day i just had this look in my eye like i wanted to use the bathroom - so she held me on the toilet - and i went fine... then from then on i would do the same thing - and soon i started hating the diaper.
but i suggest reading books there are all kinds of ways to do it.

My son began potty training at 2 1/2 years. He tried pull ups, and they felt so much like diapers, he just keep treating them like they were. So I gave him regular underwear....he went to the bathroom in them a few times, and hated the way it felt, he was potty trained within 2 weeks!

I started introducing the potty concept @ 1 1/2 and only seriosly started enforcing (ie: no diaper) a few months before he turned 3. By his third birthday he had been potty trained for a little more than a month.

We tried introducing the idea to both sons at about 2, but they had no interest. At 3, we began to push it a bit more, but they were both closer to 4 before they fully mastered it. I simply stopped buying diapers and pull-ups (I told them they didn't make them in their sizes. :) ) The first time they peed in their underpants, they realized they didn't like iit and began to use the potty. Don't worry. Boys are slow to potty train. Just be patient and don't turn it into a power struggle!! It will happen.

I have three boys. My older two were about 3 1/2. I gave them a date, like when we go back from vacation, that their diapers were going away. We got back and the diapers were no more. I would put one on at night, but that did not last long. I can count on one hand the number of accidents either one of them had. My youngest did it himself when he was 3. My cousin has 3 boys that are older then mine. When my oldest was 2 I asked her about potty training and she said wait. Friends of ours have a boy about a year older then my oldest. They started when he was 2 1/2. He was almost 4 before he was accident free. It is a control thing as much as it is being ready.

When they start walking they usually have to be potty trained.That's about 1 or 1 and a half years old.
