Hello!

My little girl is 16 months and I am so confused on which potty system to use and how to actually start. One good thing is now after she has done a poo in her nappy she actually tells me that she has done a poo. Any comments would be helpful. How do you start to toilet train a toddler?

  • My daughter is 15 months and I have been asking the same question, I think this initial recognising is step one, with my son I just used a mini toilet seat that goes on the big toilet, seemed to be less confusing


  • For those going through this there are Dora potty training dolls. Might be worth a try.


  • We have 2 girls and there is no one answer. Each child is different. The cues for our first were different from those for our second.


  • i would wait until shes 2 until i toilet trained

  • We never had the potty, our daughter was so exciting to use the “Big Toilet” that we had a ladder toilet seat for her to use


  • The summer months are great to start. We spent a lot of the day outside in undees with the potty also outside.
