  • Daughter was 2.5 years, son was 4yrs and had nightly accidents till he was 10 or so, daughter 1 yr, daughter 7 yrs (Down syndrome) still has the occasional accident day & night


  • I had 5 children and each one was potty trained by 2 years of age,the girls were a lot easier than the boy it was 2 and a half years for him. I did put them into pants not nappies at about 18 months old and they had some accidents but this is nothing I just encouraged them each time.


  • I started after they start talking n telling me things, usually 2 n half year to 3 years of age.


  • My daughter is almost 3 and still isn’t potty trained. She tells us AFTER she has done a poo rather than before when she needs to go. Hopefully she will be ready soon as I’m sick of changing nappies lol.


  • All 3 of mine were different, it really depends on when each child is ready. My son wasn’t ready at 3yrs old and held in his poo for a week so we waited almost a year before he showed that he was ready. I wouldn’t try in winter as they don’t like the cold on their bums while sitting on the toilet.


  • My daughter was toilet trained day and night at 2 years 8 months, my son was day toilet trained at 2 years six months, but not trained over night until 3 years 4 months.


  • It varies. My boys were a little over 2 and a half


  • My daughter very late. She was 3 years and 7 months old! :-) I tried earlier but because we were moving overseas, I could never find the right moment. I waited to settle in the new place, start preschool and then slowly we tried again. It took a while but luckily once she was ready to stay without diaper during the day, I asked her if she was ready to try also in the night. She agreed and it functioned immediately. She never wet the bed in her life. She was toilet trained late thus ;-) but at least she did it with style! :-)
