Potty Training Twins

Anyone done it? Tips please?

2 potties or one?

Get the boy to sit down or stand up, same with the girl really. (Always handy for girls to be able to pee stood up!)

Going at their speed but in need of some sage advice.

Thanks Grin

Me too! About to start potty training my twins. They are boy/girl. 2 next month.

I have 2 potties which they both love to sit on. Other than that I'm not sure how best to tackle it.

Currently running around nappyless!

Good luck

I haven't got twins but. . . I'd just plough on with it the same as you would if you only had one child to train. Let them know what you'd like them to do i.e tell you when they need to go and keep their pants clean and dry.
Then just don't worry about the accidents. Clean up and carry on.
And I guess the main difficulty for parents of twins is to try not to compare their progress or point out to one the others failures or successes.
It can take many many months (depending on the child).
I was advised to build potty time in to the daily routine. Like before snack time or when leaving the house, before the bath etc. This could be a good way to do things initially with twins. So your not spending your life in the toilet!!
Good luck!

Only adivce is to get boy to sit down, or you may have problems getting him to sit down for poo.
