I'm thinking about when we should start to try and potty train DD. She is 25 months.
We have had a potty in the bathroom for a few months just so it wouldn't be a big scary thing when we got one. I've told her what it's used for and she's seen me/other people use the toilet for a wee lots of times. She's perfectly happy to sit on the potty for a few seconds /minutes (it varies) but has not done anything on it. I don't know whether that's just been my bad timing sitting her on it though.
She will usually tell me a few seconds before she does a poo. Not usually any comments from her when she does a wee.
Anyway, ideally I would wait until it's warmer weather for drying extra washing and for her being naked. We go on holiday in May so would prefer to wait until after that I think. My issue is that I'm expecting DC2 in September so I am wondering if waiting until late May/June will be too close to September and cause her any issues when baby arrives?
I have been reading a few threads today and seen the book Oh Crap recommended. Does anyone else have any recommendations or advice for when we should start and how?
Thank you in advance.
