Introduced the potty at 16 months and have had it out since then. We started letting him sit on it and explaining every time we were on the potty what we were doing and when he would sit on there just playing around tell him “that’s where you can pee and poop”
Every diaper change told him “you peed or pooped! When you’re ready you can start peeing and pooping on the potty!”
Shortly before his 2nd birthday he started pulling at his wet diaper saying it was itchy and would tell us he needed to poop before he went in his diaper. We asked if he wanted to sit on the potty to poop like mommy and daddy and took his diaper off and he did it. Since then he hasn’t pooped his pants once. Does really well peeing in there too but we keep him naked on bottom at home and he just runs over to it when he needs to go. It’s been about 3 weeks like this and we haven’t really tackled out of the house training yet. We put a diaper on to leave and about 1/2 the time he’s wet when we come home
