Great so it is not my imagination! Can you remember did she take any longer than normal to become fully trained during the day?

Honestly, I can't remember. The only reason I know she trained at that age was because I definitely didn't have 3 in nappies.

Well in dds case it wasnt that early but it was earlier than I expected! She was 2yr and 2 mths when she decided she'd had enough of the nappies .

DD1 is 19mths too and in the last week has been going to the potty and sitting on it when (I think) she is doing a wee in her nappy. Like your lo she hasn't much words though. She does know when she wets a fresh nappy and she knows when she is doing no.2 and will tell you in her own way she needs changing (not that you need to be told that!) I was thinking of having a go at training next week but was doubting it would work given her lack of words? Like I don't think she would be able to tell me she needs to pee if you know what I mean!

Definately!! Have a few things on this week so going to try week after and see how it goes, will let you know!

:lol: came on here to see about dd2 and see you have written my post for me! Don't know if I am happier to see you are at the same stage (same age too 19 months) or that your dd has few words too! I always said I would potty train 2 and 3 as soon as they showed signs as I didn't with dd1 (dd2 was a month old and I was just too busy and stressed) and am still regretting it. I did train dd1 at 2 and had no issues with wees whatsoever but we are only making headway with poos on the toilet now at nearly 3.5! She started to have issues with the sensation of pooing before I started training and I should have nIpped it in the bud immediately. Lesson learnt but now I am stuck as dd2 has very few words. Did her wee on potty no trouble at all this evening and can make herself understood but I thought they needed better language to train. Maybe not? Can't wait to hear how you get on! I am a cloth nappy user and have three using nappies (dd1 at night although was dry last night ) so happy to see a reduction in users!!

God girls, I feel really bad after reading this thread. DS2 (22 months) has been trying to take his nappy off for a couple of months now and has successfully used the potty several times. However, his language is very poor and I've been holding off trainig him, mostly for this reason, but partly also because I just can't face it as I think it will take much longer as he's so young. Maybe I'm wrong though and I should just go for it? I don't want to be holding him back if he's ready!
