the only reason I ask is DD (13 months) has started telling me "Poo poo" or "wee wee" before she goes. Not all the time but at least once a day she tells me, I check her nappy nothing and then 5 minutes later she has been.
I don't want to push the TT thing but I am thinking it maybe a good idea to get a potty and see how we go. Anyone thoughts/ideas would be appreciated. |

I don't see any harm in getting a potty. Just let her get use to it being around. Let her know that thats were poos and wees go. Maybe get her to 'show' dolly how the potty works. Just let it be a fun thing to start with. -------------

Getting a potty isn't a bad thing, we just got one for our girl (just gone 15 months) because she is pretty insistent about not wearing a nappy! lol She comes into the bathroom with me, and will start taking her pants off, she likes to flush the loo and knows what its all about. Am totally not ready for toilet training but she has a really good awareness about it, and if she decides to start using the potty then good for her. We tell her what its for, and say that if she wants no nappy then she the potty is for wees and poos. She's not gone in it yet, but she sits on it now and then and is getting used to the idea.
TT can be so hard, the best thing to do is just see how it goes, make sure she knows what its there for and if she is ready, hopefully she'll just start using it! The less pressure, the better I have found - its a great time of the year for it at least! ------------- ~Cassie~

two of my friends have got girls who were fully dry in the day by 17months and dry at night by two and a bit!. One of them was TT before she was walking (late walker who bum shuffled) . Get a potty and give it a go - you will make all your mummy friends green with envy  -------------

| I agree re the potty. Jack didn't start getting good at it until we sat him on the potty regularly, it just kind of clicked for him after that as to what the sensation meant all the time (he still gets distracted and forgets though). |

I've been sitting my daughter on the potty since she was 9 months old, mostly just before her bath and sometimes in the morning if I have time. She really enjoys sitting there for a short time and we read a story together. I don't expect her to actually do anything but when she does I make a big fuss and dance around for her. I don't think there is any harm in it. I mainly did it because I wanted Gabrielle to get used to sitting on it so that when we started training she wouldn't fight sitting on it. Occasionally she sits on her potty in the bathroom while I go to the toilet and she thinks that's really cool too. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
