How late did your child potty train?

Mine were all different

The eldest was around 2.5 for daytime nappies and 4 for bed
Middle one was 19 months daytime and 2 for bed
Youngest was 2 for daytime and 2.5 for bed.

I wasn't too bothered by any of them....my sister has a son who was late out of nappies, when she took him out of daytime nappies he always had a wet patch and was a bed wetter until he was 13, once he hit 6 he saw a consultant (they wouldn't look at children before they were 6 then) and he told her that her son had an immature bladder and he didn't have any real sensation of wanting to go and until he did she was wasting her time......he had various tests etc, and various aids for the bedding wetting including alarms etc, none of them did any good.

I always had that in mind when my own were being trained - that until they had the sensation of wanting to go I was wasting my time. That time was different with all of them.

Our middle one was quite early day and night....the night time was quite interesting, put a nappy on her and she got up dry, leave the nappy off and she wet the bed. My mother suggested putting a pair of knickers on her for bed and that did the trick.

Nothing abnormal here OP so no need to worry. My wife teaches reception and children regularly have accidents they just sit there and pee and poo saying nothing, this years group have been particularly bad at it. They are encouraged to go whenever they feel the need it just takes longer for some than others to get it.

2.5m here with my son. He showed absolutely no signs whatsoever then one day told me he didn't want nappies anymore and has been dry since with no prompting from me. It did take another 6 weeks for No.2 tho. He would ask me to put a nappy on. Not long after he Cracked that he refused a nappy at night and so far so good.
