Right ds is 21 months and tells me before he does a poo, like a good minute or so and hes never wrong which is great. But Im due another baby at the end of July and we were planning to move ds into a bed at the end on May begining of June ready for the baby.
My question is this: Ds seems ready to be potty trained now but should I wait until hes in a bed at the begining of June in case this disrupts night time training and if so the baby is due end of July, will this be long enough or should I wait until after the baby???
I just feel as if Im ignoring the fact that he's telling me he's ready.
Thanks

IMO
he's too early to get the hang of it, before 24 months, that will be July right? And you don't want new baby and nappiless but not proficient toddler. I waited till ds1 was well over 2 and a half and new baby was 2 months before I let ds1 run around with no nappy for two week while he cracked it.

That's just my opinion

Plus in August it will be warm enough to let ds run around pantless and that way they always get the hang of it more quickly.

also, keep praising him telling you he's going to poo, but it doesn't mean you need to be following him round with a potty or putting him in trainer pants. The thing is you never know what your delivery will be like, if you should have to have a caesar, then the last thing you will want to do is be worrying bout getting ds to the potty or mopping up spills.

Trouble is, is that we have a crib for new baby, due end of July but I seem to have very long babies, this one following suite so they only stay in the crib for about 4 months and then need a cot.
I dont want ds to feel pushed out of his cot by the new baby so I thought it would be better for him to be settled in a bed before the new arrival?
