Pregnancy Info HOME

Afraid to say it means she just isn't ready yet. My ds1 is 24 months old (born Feb 17th) and I have been encouraging him for months now. Like your dd he screams and cries when I try to sit him on the potty. We have tried the big toliet and potty chair. He sits with his clothes on occasionally. I have read quite a few potty training books and one thing you can do is buy her a potty doll or use a big teddy bear. Put a diaper or pull-up on the doll/teddy and pretend it is going to the potty. You can even squirt some water or spread some poop (PB?) on the diaper for effect. Then have your lo help clean up. It shows them how "fun" the potty can be...and that it isn't scary. I will be starting this on the weekend. You can only start effectively potty training once your child is willing to sit on the potty.
