I have 19 months son, I think I need to start toilet training for him. But I don't know when and how. Is there any idea for me?

Thanks

Small tip make sure you do it in the warmer months cause I found with both my children that they never stayed on there very long and loved to run around and play while your trying to get them to go to the toilet but that is the easy part the hardest part of toilet training especially with the boys is getting the to wake up and go to the toilet during the night but you need to have patience it is really important to encourage even more so when they have accidents rather then getting annoyed with them.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have started again his toilet training last month. I think he like it. Now he doesn't have any problem with the wee, even at night he never wet his nappy. Only I still have problem with the big one. Seems he still doesn't know when it comes out and only tell when it already come out.

Pull ups are also a great option

My daughter is 3 and she has been toilet trained since she was 2, I had her in undies and would make sure I frequently asked her if she needed to go. Encouragement helps.

I also have a 19 month boy.. I tried toilet training at 18 months..
He was very excited and interested.. but as he never sits still for more then 5 seconds and it's tricky explaining how long for and why at such a young age.. Then he all of a sudden wad not happy with the idea and out came a tantrum and emotions.. so I have decided to place this on hold for a little longer.. just keep at it and you will know when your boy is ready.
It is recommended to stay at home two weeks and ever hour ask if he needs the toilet.

If the weather is warm and you don't have carpet let him run around with a nappy or undies and look for any signs you might have to follow him around. They like to hide in corners to wee if you see it about to happen grab him and try to put him on the potty and if he does it in the potty give him a treat. My son was eventually trained during the day (i think he held it in most of the time) but wet his bed at night. I went to the chemist and hired a special mattress that beeped when it got wet and woke him up to remind him to go to the toilet instead but he was almost 4 by then but it only took a couple of weeks for him do be dry through the night

Hi I have a 3 year old son and when I started to toilet training him I would ask him if he needed to go to the toilet and he did but I still kept his in nappies and he would go to the toilet something's but I think when u think ur child is fully ready to use the toilet you will know and just keep asking them if they need to go to the toilet and then say to them tell me when you need to go toilet
