Potty Traning ... Help?

my son is 19 months old and i say when you have to potty and i point to his but and i say when u have to go potty say potty and when you go potty you get candy. So every time he says potty i set him on the potty and he goes and after that he gets a sucker every time. He hasnt learned to pee on the potty yet, but we will work on that next, but when he has to poop he knows every time. I bought my son his potty at about 17 months, and he finally started using it about 17 1/2 months to 18.. every time i seen him grunt i would run him in there, now he knows that when he feels that he has to go to tell me and he will go to the potty. and when he goes i say soo big and give him a high 5 and a sucker. So once you get down her tips that she has to go run her to the bathroom and once she knows she gets a sucker when she goes she will probably start to go more. I know candy isnt good for kids but it has helped me with this whole situation. also my son doesnt like the actual kid potty so i just fit the smaller toilet seat on the regular potty.

I would keep taking her in and introducing her to the idea of going potty on a toilet. But I waited until my kids (boy and girl) were walking steady before I really went for it. I used pull ups on them only for driving and sleeping other than those 2 times I put regular underwear on them. The kids realize right away that they dont like the feeling of wet or dirty underwear and caught on very quick, both my children were potty trained within 3 weeks,not for overnights for sometime after but during the day was great! good luck and remember when you start to work on overnight potty training to get them up every 2 hours or so and take them potty.

If she is only 16 months old thats usually too young for any child preemie or not. I have a boy and a girl both full term and neither one of them started potty training till they were closer to 2. My suggestion is wait until she shows interest in the potty, if you push before she is ready it will only make it harder and it will take longer for her to actually do it.

To be honest with you, your thinking way ahead. What you want to do is let her watch you use the bathroom, maybe say "mommy's gotta use the bathroom" or something of the sort. Let her watch you do this so she learns that mommy does it too, my daughter was fascinated with why mommy and sometimes even daddy rushed to the bathroom. We got her a potty and she HATED it, instead she like the stool and the mini toilet seat which is placed over your normal toilet so she feels like a "big girl." my daughter started doing this at around 19 months, and its still a struggle, just be patient. Some kids dont start until 3-4...and thats okay, build her confidence so she feels good even about the small things.

This must be your first child. 16 months is too early to potty train a baby. Unless she can pull her pants up and down, take off her diaper, sit on the potty without your help, and verbally TELL you that she has to go to the bathroom, she's not ready. Don't rush it.
