MMM I don't think at that age thats actually being toilet trained. I think thats more like what people who do EC. I think it would be reading the signs etc.
We have never really used a potty, our toilet seat has 2 seats on it, so it has a smaller child seat that can be put down over the lge one.
wel maybe a potty might be a good idea then?? perhaps less intimidating? Also, in a potty she can hear the noise a wee makes more clearly than in the loo. They are cheap - $6 at target - not too much to risk if she never wants to use it.
as for age, I have no idea - but if it was a normal thing at 18 months then I dare say it was properly trained - mums back then often had huge families and I doubt they would have been looking at too many signs if the kids had no way of making their needs very clear. I guess it all depends how you define "toilet trained" hey!
I define it as not using nappies or having any accidents. But that might still mean I do all the reminding and taking ot the loo. Others might not call it trained until the child takes themselves every time without any reminding.
