FTM potty training queues

[pringlebells]

Hi,

DS is only 15 months so too early to potty train, but I'm just wondering what signs to look out for?

Recently (past week or so) he has started pulling at his nappy when he's had a wee / poo, on occasion when it's a wee, the nappy isn't fully wet but he's indicating for me to change him.

He squats when he does his poo, has started going into the corner by his toy box.

This is all very new though, but when I ask "have you done a wee/poo" he will clap himself if he has.

I realise these might not be signs so this is what brings me to ask because I genuinely have no clue when I'm supposed to start potty training. I'm not keen to do so anytime soon but DH picked up on a few new behaviours too and we realised we aren't too sure on what to look for.

He's doing lots of new things this week, feel like my baby's becoming a big boy really quick.

Shall I buy some pull ups rather than nappies?

Teach him the difference between and dry on his hands and other parts of his body, just talk about it when washing. Also teach him how to pull his trousers up and down - an essential potty training skill. Allow him to watch you go to the toilet, especially when you have a poo and for him to know poo doesn’t always come out instantly and you need to wait.

When he can speak and when he’s dry through his naps.

I second when they can speak.

(I should say not before they can speak)

Sign language can count for speech!
I know 2 non verbal kids who use the toilets.
A friend had a little boy who was trained by 16 months apparently. (Not mine... he was nearly 4)
It seems like yours wont be long. First stage is realising they have done something.
Next stage is realising they are doing it.
Final stage they know they need to do it. And can get there in time
