Re: Another question for BTDT moms re:Potty Training!

Most reports/studies/experiences I've read about say that 18 months is the absolute earliest you can even think of trying, since they don't have the muscle control until around then, so 18 months is too early, IMO. However, if you work on your older DC, often the younger one will want to imitate the older, so you may get both trained without even trying....

I don't think you will be as successful with your 18 month old. But I would definately include him in the process more for an introduction/learning experience, but focus on the 2 year old.


I tried with Jack around 20 months becasue he started to show signs of readiness, but obviously didn't work becasue we are trying it again at 2 1/2. They physically don't have the muscle control and recognition of having to go the the bathroom at that young age.
