I realise I'm probably being ridiculous but just wanted to see if anyone else has any experience/advice on this...
My 18 month old did a wee on the potty this evening. She has been interested in the potty for a few weeks, loves sitting on it before bath and can say 'wee wee' and 'poo poo'. For the past few days I have taken her nappy off and let her sit on the potty, and she sits on it for a second or two, then gets up, sits down again and repeats a few times. If I say to her to do a poo poo, she tries to (I can hear/smell evidence of this - lovely!), and this evening when I said 'do a wee wee!', she did a small one in the potty.
Now I'm not sure whether I should grab this interest with both hands and see if she might be ready to try potty training, or to just ignore and stay with nappies? I have an older DD who potty trained at almost 2.5 yrs, so this feels very very early to even be considering it, but on the other hand I don't want to miss an opportunity.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so how did you handle it? For what it's worth she does seem to know when she has done a wee or poo, as she tells me, but I don't think she knows when she is about to do one.
Thanks in advance!!
