NHS potty training timeline
THE NHS says most children are potty trained between two and two-and-a-half, saying: "Remember, you cannot force your child to use a potty.
"If they're not ready, you will not be able to make them use it.
"Most parents start thinking about potty training when their child is between 2 and 2 and a half, but there's no perfect time."
By age 1, most babies have stopped doing poos at night
By age 2, some children will be dry during the day, but this is still quite early
By age 3, 9 out of 10 children are dry most days – even then, all children have the odd accident, especially when they're excited, upset or absorbed in something else
By age 4, most children are reliably dry during the day
"I keep one in the car all the time for them."
"These are amazing for potty training," someone else said.
"Brought one for £23 a week ago, returned it & brought one today for £11," another laughed.
"Getting prepared for the potty training to come!"
