Handy tips to help you plan for potty training

At around 2 years, some toddlers are ready to start going to the toilet by themselves. But learning to use the loo can take a while. Just be patient, give them plenty of time and encouragement and be prepared for a few accidents along the way! If your little one isn’t ready yet, don’t worry. All toddlers develop at their own pace so keep looking out for the signs.

Buying several potties means you can have one in each room, so they’re close to hand when your toddler needs to go. Getting them used to sitting on their potty is a good idea too. You can make this more fun by telling stories or singing songs while they sit. A routine can also help, so try using the potty first thing in the morning when they’re bound to need a wee!
Our article is full of helpful ways to start your toddler's potty training when the time is right.
Use our Playtime Planner to find fun activities like dressing-up games, which can help your toddler to dress and undress themselves – a handy skill when they’re learning to pull their pants up and down to use the loo!
If you have any questions or are unsure about anything just give us a call.
Even though your toddler might seem like a mini-adult their nutritional needs are still different to yours.
Find out more about the diet they need to keep up with all the growing exploring they have to do!
