She thinks if done before 2 years old, I would be wasting my efforts. What do you think? Btw, my son is now around 16 months and I’m thinking of starting him on potty training.

and normally will carry her to pass urine at night, around 2 or 3 am.
By 18 months, she never wear diaper anymore 🙂

when child starts taking semi-solids, the poo starts to smell.
fortunately we didn't go out often, so diaper-free days were much easier.
still have pics of my kids sitting on the toilet bowl when they were 3 or 4 😉

I think it is good to start young when the kid is still "gong gong".

Resistance level increases as the kid realises the convenience of wearing diapers.

Like Janet, we seldom went out during the training days. We also set a time to train the bowel movement.

When training to go w/o diapers at night, we set an alarm clock to get up to bring the child to pee in the toilet. We bou a little Ikea stool for him to stand on so as to reach the toilet bowl.

Dun worry.. Every child is different.. I have seen kids wearing diapers until they are about 4 years old.. So it isn't too late..

TheAnswer:
started toilet training my son when he was 8 months old.. had a few accidents but managed to graduate from potty training within 6 months...

when I let daughter wear cloth diapers or undies at home, we stayed away from the carpet and brought her to the loo every 30 min...that was the stage we stayed at home often because going out would be tough if we had to bring her to the loo every now and then.
