I havebeen trying to potty trains my 22 mo old twins, I started introducing it to them around 21mo. They are very advanced (says their pediatrician) especially for twins. I just didn't know the best way to go about it. Does anyone have G/G twins that have successfully potty trained their children by age 2? And if so...do you have any good advice? Any advice will GREATLY appreciated!!! Have a great day!!

What can I do next?

To be honest, even if they are advanced I think its to early. Give them a few more months. Most girls are ready about 24 months but if they are acting interested don't push it. It just makes it harder. There are some great books to help teach potty training. My favorite was I wan't my Potty. Best of luck!!

Don't rush them they will let you know when they are ready.By rushing them all 3 of you will be frustrated and it will take longer for them to potty train. Be patient it will happen at the right time. Good luck!

I don't have twins, but with my daughter by 28 months she was potty trained. She absolutely done it ALL on her own...she made the decision she didn't like being wet/soiled etc...and started wanted to use the potty chair....

I believe when they are ready they & you will know it, i know its wonderful to have them out of diapers and potty trained but don't rush it, it won't do anything but cause problems...i know i went thru the pain of a son who didn't want to be potty trained so i've been on both sides of the fence, so to say.

I have a 22 month old girl that I am potty training right now, but that is because she asks to go, she trys to keep up with the kids at day care so she is the one that brought it to me. The biggest part is waiting until they are ready and can tell you that they need to go, but if she doesn't say anthing I ask her if she needs to go about every hour and we sit there. My favorite moment of it so far is when she gets on there and smiles at me before she goes. You can tell she is proud of herself for making it to the potty!

Sorry, my G/G twins got mad at revolted when I tried to potty train them then. I first tried at 18 mo because I was ready(they did ok for the first week and then would hide and wet their pants or just cry when we took them potty), then at 2 years because they showed some interest in the potty, but not enough to be consistant. If they aren't 100% ready it will be a very long process. They trained in two weeks when I tried again at 2 1/2 though. However, I did get them each a potty chair so that way they could do it together and we wouldn't have to fight over who goes when, etc. We also skipped the pull-ups and went straight to Big Girl panties. Good Luck. J.

I don't have twins, but my daughter was trained by 2. Seems it would be easier to train 2 of them with it sort of being a competition or fun sitting on the potty side by side. :) With my daughter I just cut back on liquids 3 hrs before bedtime except for sips...then later bought her some frilly panties..she didn't want to soil them so she went in the potty. I think with any child it is more about training yourself in the beginning to take them every hour or 2 (first thing in the morning, mid morn, before lunch, after lunch, before nap, after nap, before dinner, after din, before bed)until they get into the routine. Then they will get in the habit of going and at least try. Give lots of praise even for trying. After a while they will begin to recognize ther own body signals and notice the feeling they get when they need to go and they will aquaint it with the fact that when they get that feeling if they get on the potty, they can go. There is no rushing it, with some it just CLICKS faster and others take a bit longer to figure it out. Good luck! :)

Hi!
