I've been thinking for a while about introducing my son into the "potty world" and I feel that at 14 months, he is ready to be introduced to it! He tells me when he needs to have his diaper changed by going for a diaper or his baby wipes and bring them to be. I've been working with his to tell me before he needs to go by the simple saying "dodo" "peepee" or "potty", but we're still working on that.
My goal is to have him potty trained by October, because I am pregnant with my second child, which is do in October and since buying 2 boxes of diapers 2-4 times a month will be a lot of money, but I am ready to do that if he ain't ready. = )
So tips needs, rude comments not.
Please and Thank You, to all that help!

14 months is really young still to potty train. You can try it but don't expect him to get it immediately. You may be struggling with this for several months to come. So don't be disappointed if you find yourself buying newborn diapers and toddler diapers at the same time. Good luck.

The best tip at this age is to wait! Boys are typically later than girls with potty training. Age 2 1/2 is typical for girls. For boys it's closer to 3-4 years old. The only one who would be trained this early is you. His body is not physically ready. There is no way it is at that age. I worked in an infant-toddler room at a daycare center for 5 years. I've only seen one child fully potty trained before age two. She was a very bright little girl who could speak sentences with huge words by age 12 months. She was very advanced in every way. Never have I seen a boy potty trained before age 2 and most of them were still in diapers when they went to the preschool room at age 2 years 9 months. Let him be your baby a bit longer. It's great that he can tell you when he needs his diaper changed, but there are many more things that have to happen before his body will be mature enough to potty train.

14 months is still very young to try full potty training. He may recognize when he goes potty in his diaper, but I highly doubt that he will be able to make a connection to hold his pee and go to the potty before or closer till he is 2. After all he just turned 1 a couple months ago. Now its never to early to just talk to them about it and you can try it with him-but he wont be able to full understand and go consistently on the potty until 2 I bet. My daughter is now 2 1/2 and fully potty trained. She was ready to start potty training right after her second birthday. But I also got her familiar with the potty beforehand.

Dont push or rush him too hard because that could just end up making it harder to potty train him. Just keep talking to him about it like you are and he will get it when he is ready. You will know when he is ready. Our daughter just one day decided she wanted to go on the potty-I was honestly shocked cause she had just turned 2 and I didnt think she fully understood. But he will let you know when he is ready :)

Wait til he's at least 2.



He knows when he's wet, he can feel that easy. But being able to control it is a whole different story.



Get a potty and let him go in with you and/or daddy. Don't expect him to stand and go on the big potty.

Just have him take off his diaper and sit on the potty.

well 14 months is a little early but in some cases the earlier the better. You know there is a little hidden secret to babies...They are actually ready to potty train when they are ready to communicate. I started potty training my son at 21 months and he was completly potty trained at 24 1/2 months, he started learning to stand to pee at 28 months and accomplished standing at 31 months. Here is a website that I think will help you in any way.

When you are at home in the garden take off the diaper so he can see where its coming from and connect the dots. My grand niece was potty trained by 18 months. make the potty a part of his life like a spoon and ease him into it gradually, no stress.

I got my son potty train by 18 months he is now 8



What ur doing to start is good now if he has his father around have him go to the rest room with his and watch him what boys think is fun is to shot at things so if u can get an but Cheerios in the toilet and make it a game when he pees with dad to aim at the cereal so now every time he feels like going he will hold it and want to use the toilet verses the dipper



Its harder to train boys than girls I also have a girl now 13 but she was train by 12 months



Remind your son that he is a big boy and big boys like daddy go on the toilet and babies like (the new babies name) go on the dipper that always works boys want to be like daddy also u can do a chart with happy stickers when he is trying and have a reward for him when he get to a mark kids love stickers

He may not even have any physical control over his muscles so he may not even be physically ready to train. You should wait until he is closer to two.
