She wants to use the loo but I think she's too young...

[ifyourmotheraskedyou]

Dd2 is almost 22 months old and has been desperate to use the loo for quite a while now. She loves to sit on it and squeeze out a few drops of wee, so I've been letting her do this occasionally. Today she announced that she needed a poo and wanted to go to the loo, so I let her - and, lo and behold, she did a poo in the loo.

Do you think I should go ahead and start letting her try to go without nappies? I would have absolutely assumed not, as she doesn't have much language yet, but she is so very keen to do what her big sister does. I know she has bladder control because she will hang on until she gets into the bath and tells me that she is going to do so!

Oh how fantastic! I envy you. Go for it! She is obviously ready, there is no age limit children are ready at different ages, some early some late like my dd 3.4. I started to train my very very reluctant dd in April and we are 90% there. Get her a toilet seat to go over the toilet and just let her do it when she feels she needs to go. Boy you are lucky, a self ready toddler.

go for it she's telling you she's ready.
my pfb was dry day and night by 2 and i remember thinking its too soon to try.
