Content: That said, most children typically start potty training between 18 and 30 months. The following signs may indicate that your child is ready to start potty training: Your child is staying dry for at least two hours during the day and is dry after naps
They can follow simple instructions, like a request to walk to the bathroom, sit down, and remove their clothes. They’re interested in wearing “big girl” or “big boy” underwear. Your child knows when their diaper is wet. If they cry, fuss, or show other signs of obvious discomfort when their diaper is soiled—and indicate through facial expression, posture, or language that it's time to use the toilet—then they’re ready to start the process. Even if your child seems ready, experts say to avoid potty training during transitional or stressful times. If you're moving, taking a vacation, adding a new baby to the family, or going through a divorce, postpone the potty training until about a month after the transitional time. Children trying to learn this new skill will do best if they're relaxed and on a regular routine. Always talk to your child's doctor about the best time to potty train your child.
