I'm just wondering when all you Mums to cloth-wearing bubs decided to / plan to toilet train? I'm guessing it would be earlier than most disposable wearing bubs?
I was with a friend the other day whose 3 year old was still walking around talking and pooing in his Huggies- fully aware of what he was doing. It made me feel kinda squeamish!! Lol...
Until I started on this whole baby venture, i thought people started TT at around 1 yr.
My Mum assures me that is normal...that she started TT all her cloth bubs at 10-12 months, but everyone seems to be doing it so much later these days.
Just wondering what you guys thought/were doing, as I was hoping to start TT this summer for my bub who will be 1 in Feb. Does this sound reasonable???
I have heard that the older generation would tt their children around 1, but I have never seen any children actually do it. You can start putting hum on a potty and see how he goes. Remember that boys generally tt later than girls.
Nina has been tt for about 2 months now, and I use mcn on both girls.
Yep what Jodi said.
I'm a clothy and Darcy only TTed herself 3 weeks ago at 2y5months. Before that no matter what encouragement I gave she wouldn't have a bar of TTing. In the end it only took 2 days.
Without the cognitive functioning to understand, i'm not sure how successful it would be.
DD has been used to the potty since around 10 months, but has started in recent months to start to TT properly, i think she will be out of cloth nappies soon!
I don't think that it has so much to do with what they wear on their butt - but whether they comprehend the actual feeling of needing to go to the toilet and then linking that feeling to the toilet.
DS has only just started now to not scream at the potty, and will sit on it, but with a nappy on.
I'm not going to force my child to use a potty/toilet earlier than he is ready to. I've heard that if you start early, and the kid ain't ready - its a whole lot more hassle and takes longer than if you just start it when they are ready.
DD went straight from MCN nappies to undies at 2.5 - up until that point she refused flat out to even go near the potty. She just did it when she was ready. We have had 4 accidents and that's it. I agree that without the cognitive function or the ability to pull their pants down or tell you they need to go it makes things very difficult (mainly for you).
