Potty Training

My LO has just turned 20 months and I’m not sure if she’s ready to be potty trained. She loves sitting on the potty, if I say ‘do you need a wee?’ Or ‘get your potty’ she will put it on top of the toilet and sit on it for about 5 minutes. She will indicate for toilet paper and wipe herself then put it down the toilet, even though she hasn’t done anything yet. A couple of weeks ago she put her potty on the toilet and then stood in the corner and pooped in her nappy, I felt guilty I hadn’t got to her quicker and helped her do it on the potty. The last week or so she has been stripping off, she can get her clothes and pull-up off with ease so I was thinking, if she wants to be naked I might as well encourage the potty..
I’m not bothered if she’s too young, I’m more than happy to wait until she’s ready and won’t force it :) does it sound likes she’s ready? And if so any advice on how to encourage her?

Try reading the Oh Crap potty training book.

Another vote for oh crap. Our son was done at 21 months and dry at night by 22 months, the book was brill.
