Yes...but I bet they can still emulate his wonderful trick of removing his nappy in the cotbed :rotfl:

Gawd, I'm so off topic :rolleyes:

DD1 past that & DD2 not quite there yet :eek:

Well...I bought the TV, DVD, Stereo etc for DS as I never watch TV really, be happy without one...so he just kissed goodbye to Baby TV :rotfl:

Driving me mental as he has sussed that if he 'removes' himself he does not get a wet nasty nappy :rolleyes: but I think 15 months is waaayyyyy to early for potty training :rolleyes: he has had a dry nappy for nearly 2 bloomin weeks now and all I do is clean carpets. Ah well...just glad he did not fry himself eh

I will pay him back later though when I start peeing on bloomin everything :j :rotfl:

I don't have children, and am certainly not a health professional, but...
Clearly he knows when he needs to go, so it could well be time to bring a potty out after all, and reward him when he "goes" in the potty rather than on the carpets?

You may think it is too young but my eldest was dry during the day at 17 months and at night before 2. Mind you she is 23 today and we did things differently then !

Same here, I was apparently dry at night before 2, but brother was 4/5
Think boys are a bit more 'awkward' with potty training :rolleyes:
Just not sure that it is manageable till he can communicate that he needs the 'potty' etc as he just says Mama (bloomin constantly lol)...mind you if I do/do not start now...either way everything is covered in pee :rotfl:

HV thought I was a crazy lady when I said I was thinking of it...but then she thinks i'm crazy anyway

Will buy one on Tuesday when i'm in Boots as it has to be worth a bash as despite constantly cleaning the carpets the house had a rather unfresh aroma to it when I came back inside this morning :mad:

Ooh Broclo, I was going to ask you this anyway. We think our DS who is 9 months and won't eat solids yet, but manages to undo his nappy, and hates wearing it, if it was too early to potty train him. I was looking at Potties in Boots the other day, and portable loo seats, etc. (keeping it on topic), and wondered if 9 months is too early.

Obviously, we are not going to push him, but when I leave his nappy off for a while, he goes quiet and gives me a look, when he is about to do number 1, and then hey presto, I have to clean the carpet.

So is it worth buying a potty, for our tiny flat, and just putting him on it a few times a day, and seeing how he goes? Not for number 2s, as I will keep nappy on for these, but just so he gets used to the idea of a potty?

I have enough points at Boots to buy a nice potty. Do they do Tommee Tippee?

Well finally managed to make a quick dash instore today ~ no clearance stand hasn't been wheeled back in yet!) and forgot to check for the johnsons pack:mad:

Did get though:

4 x model me total £9.96
with 1000 points
( thanks again girls for the vouchers x)

Used above points for 2 x garnier pure peel 600 points for 2
and 2 x lynx boxes for 400 points for 2

So paid £9.96 for all these goodies:D

(So if I had paid full price for everything my estimation of total goods I got for £9.96 is £47.8x)

Well...I'm guessing that A...all children are different and B... HV's advice to wait till girls are 2 and boys are 3 is because they think pushing a child may cause problems?

I just spoke to my nan a few minutes ago to check what time she wants us to visit her on monday and asked her opinion as she had 13 children and with my HV it is all 'text book' as she is childless etc.

Apparently she followed the child, not an age or what she wanted etc, so one child was held over a bowl from 3 months and she made a 'sssss' noise and they were hardly in cloth nappies at all and were dry by 11 months! The worst was my dad (lol) who still peed the bed at 7 :rolleyes:

I think maybe people years ago were keen to get the children out of nappies as terry ones are alot of washing and now days people are concerned with all the mess it involves

I'm going to go buy a basic £2 boots potty on Tuesday and give it a bash, if it turns out he is ready then great, if not i'll pop it away till he can communicate more, then there is no pressure on either of us.

Not sure if boots do Tommee Tippee, i know they do those crazy ones that talk etc lol for about £29.99. But i'm just opting for a £2 job as if he does go for it now I think it is good to have a few about the house.

Maybe you could just start by associating him urinating with a noise, word or baby sign and then when you think he understands that, then start introducing the potty?

Dunno I think it is all down to the individual child, not the age
