My son is going to be 2.5 years old now. Am wondering if its the right time to start potty training now. I do not want to put stress on him. I would love to know when you moms started potty training for your kid.

I started potty training for my son when he was 19 months old. By that time he was having regular and soft bowel so I thought it was the right time to do so.

And he picked up within 6 months time, though a real difficult job Smile

I started potty training for my daughter once she was able to express in words that she wanted to go for urine or bowel.

I started training my kids once they could sit. I think its just that you should have patience and the right way and you can potty train your kid at an early age.

Hey I started potty training for my son as he did not like dirty or wet nappy at all. He was very irritated whenever he was in a dirty nappy. So, I started his potty training when he was about 14 months old. And now that he is more that 30 months old he is using potty regularly.

I potty trained both my kids once they started sitting but I have seen kids who are not comfortable at such an early age so I would say it totally depends on the child when he is comfortable and ready.
