My daughter is 15 months old, she is taking her diaper off when she is wet should i start potty training her?

Answer 1

I just potty trained my son and daughter. The best time to start potty training is when you can say to your daughter, "go pee" and she does.
I like an approach where I don't have to pressure or push my child. What worked for me was The Potty Stool http://www.thepottystool.com I started by just setting it at the toilet. My kids immediately climbed up on the stool and discovered that they could safely and securely use the toilet. This got them very interested in using the toilet and they were potty trained very quickly. Kids like to use what they know mommy and daddy use.

I like that I don't have to double the steps of potty training by training them first in a potty and then training them to stop using a potty. And not dumping and cleaning a potty each time is great. The best thing is that kids use it for years. I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Oh my 15 months old and you have not started potty training? I know all children are different I have a son and a daughter. They are like night and day from one another. My son was potty trained by the time he was 13 or 14 months old. He walked when he was about 10 or 11 months old. My daughter started walking at about 1 year and when she started walking we started potty training. It took her about 6 or 7 months to get it down. By two she was totally trained and we were glad to not have to buy diapers anymore.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Children are ready to potty train at different ages. My son was 17 months and my daughter was fully trained by 9 months.
You have a few things to consider before starting to potty train.
1. does she stay dry during naps and/or over night?
2. Does she have a bowel movement at certain points during the day?
3. Has she taken an interest in the potty or watching others use the bathroom?

Purchase some pullups. Then put her on the potty after she eats and/or drinks. Children generally go to the bathroom after a meal because their stomach presses against their bladder.

Answer 4

This is completely off from what everyone has suggested but did you notice any marks or any discomfort when she wears her diapers ? Coz' my son would do the same thing- pull off his diapers and I found that the diaper was causing some marks on the sides of his thighs..so I put a little cream on the thighs and put back the diaper and he was fine then. I will start potty training shortly ..he is 15 months but I think I will wait for a couple of more months before I do that...

Answer 5

My 20 month old son started taking his diaper off recently. I have 3 children and worked in a daycare 7 years. A toddler taking their diaper off is normal but some toddlers do potty train earlier and faster than their peers. I bought my son a training potty and he urinates in it occassionally. Every little bit helps. I think that you should go ahead and purchase a training potty. I've seen children; especially girls learn to use a potty by age 18 months. You may have a prodigy on your hands. Go for it. :)

Answer 6

She is ready. When they start getting uncomfortable in a wet diaper, that is a good sign that they are ready. You can probably put her in regular underwear, and as long as she can get to the potty and get it off by herself, she'll be potty trained in a week.

Let her start going in the bathroom with you and get her used to the idea.

Also, if she has older siblings, she will probably potty train earlier and easier than the others. She will want to imitate them and be a "big girl."

Answer 7

Defiantly, Shes trying to tell you something, don't ignore her. My daughter started to to this at 10 months and at first I thought she was too young but she got more persistent so, I ran with it, she was potty trained at 1 year, she is 2 and a half now and associates diapers with babies, she says she doesn't wear them cause shes a big girl. All kids are different and ready at different ages, my son wasn't trained till he was almost 2, look for their cues and take it from there.

Answer 8

You can start introducing the potty at this age, though it is a bit early. Girls do get trained sooner - as early as 2 years..

Just watch out for signs and put her on the potty. If she goes, make a big deal out of it! Use the positive rewards at this stage, and clean up accidents without any fuss.

For naptimes, a tried and true way of keeping the diaper on is use the duct tape on it!

Answer 9

it is completely normal. my daughter does the same thing. it would be best to wait at this age. i would get her used to the idea but hold off. start teaching her the words, flushing the toilet, books, and cartoons on potty training. also, pampers sells a pull on diaper called easy ups. it is not a training diaper it is specifically for a toddler of this age. hope this helps!

Answer 10

In India they can train babies to go to the washroom on command (article in a Canadian Magazine called Parent) as well, in Canada we usually start girls around 18 - 2 1/2 and boys usually fallow a little later. If she realizes she is wet, maybe before trying to potty train her, you could teach her to let you know BEFORE she has to pee, then try placing her on the potty. Who knows, some babies get trained earlier than others.
