my son 14 months old should i start him potty trainin?he shows his nappy when he is having poo and squats down

Answer 1

Introduce the potty - and let him go on it if he wants to, and praise him for that - but I think it is too early to train properly.... he is showing great signs of being almost ready, but children do not have bladder control until they are around 2 to 2 1/2 - so it is physically impossible for them to become fully potty trained.
If you begin training too early you run the risk of them regressing... he might begin fine but all of a sudden at the age of 3 begin wetting/pooing himself again. There is plenty of time for potty training - it sounds like he is just becoming aware of when he has done something in his nappy, and thats worth praising! But for now, just stick with the potty being around so he becomes familiar with it, allow him to sit on it, but dont expect results just yet....
If your son knows when he is about to poo - do encourage that.... ask if he wants the potty when he shows his nappy and let him try to poo in there, then give lots of praise for that, because lets face it, at 14 months thats incredibly impressive! (anyone i've tried to potty train usually gets wee's done in a potty then convincing them to poo in it has been the hard part! lol)
Good luck with potty training, just take one step at a time and dont put any expectations on your son at this very young age - just see how he goes, it will most likely be a see-saw journey as it is with most children xxx never feel bad if they seem to jhave cracked potty training 1 week and then seem to need nappies for another week - its totally normal and no child will be potty trained until they are ready themselves and have that bladder control! - It doesnt matter what us adults do, a child will take to the potty/toilet when they are ready to :)

Answer 2

My son was a year old when he potty trained himself. 14 months old is not to early. Just sit the child on a potty every two hours and give him praises when he does go. And watch and see if he displays a need to go in the potty in a few days. Don't expect victory real soon, he will catch on

Answer 3

Well done. good job mum and baby......But, you might find that he will have quite a few mistakes before he really gets it... A childs mind can not focus on the toilet rules all the time...If he has no nappy on and his potty is there for him, if playinghe will not realise that he wants to pee until it is too late.......He will start using the potty in his own time...If you try to push it on him he will not............But you seem to have it worked out between you..Keep up the good work..Nice to see some parents who dont mind potty training. ive met a few who keep their kids in them for there own convenience,,,Not much help to a child though.......Mum of 8

Answer 4

that is truly an illustration of readiness, yet there are others, too. including... waking up with a dry diaper, exhibiting an pastime in doing issues via himself, and the form of situations your baby says "no" is reducing. I examine as quickly as that mothers who initiate potty education at 18 months or youthful have their infants potty experienced via age 4, yet mothers who initiate after age 2 have their infants potty experienced via age 3. that's in accordance to the yankee Acadamy of Pediatrics.

Answer 5

My friend we have boys same age, started when her son showed first sign he was 18months she had loads of accidents forever changing pants, tried pull ups he's still wet at night now 2.8. I waited till my son was 2.3 he took to it straight away never had one accident, or pull -ups, uses toilet standing up.I just feel she was on his back for months always asking him whipping out a potty it dragged on.

Answer 6

Your son sounds the same as mine (also 14 months) 'squatting!' typical men!!! I am gonna start soon, as i know its gonna take time and i need to be patient!!! i have been told that boys are easier to potty train than girls!... that i would love to beleive! GOOD LUCK! x Conkys Mummy x

Answer 7

Yes absoultely, you should I started potty training my son at 12 months and my husband at the time would help him in the bathroom. If he's showing interest you should do it.

Answer 8

if hes showing signs tht hes ready like he is,its never to early to start introducing it to him.If he doesn't take to it then you wouldn't have lost anythin just wait a while and try again.My son found it easier by going straight from nappies to pants.He didn't get on well with trainer pants i think its because they felt like nappies.You can only try and see.

good luck

Answer 9

he sounds so cleaver at 14months! its great hes showing signs of knowing when hes durtyed his nappy.iv a potty training book that says idealy start it at 18months,if you do it sooner then your childs ready it can backfire and take longer.so ild suggest try him at 18months,overly priase him when hes done well and try not to show signs of anger when hes done a accident then hell know what hes doing right.its also i good idea to start when ther nappy is dryer for longer as that shows ther learning bladder/bowl controll

Answer 10

yes he is ready for the potty, the sooner the better and praise him loads when he has done..
