Potty Training at 9 Months

my family is from south america and my mom always told me that i should start potty training younger than what i did...which i waited till my kids were 2. i also have a friend who is american but is living in germany and she started young...as soon as her daughter was able to sit up on her own every day she would put her daughter on a potty seat in the morning when she woke up and right before her bath at night. her daughter recognized after a while what she was supposed to do and ended up potty training faster than what we consider normal.
i also feel that you should do what you think is best for your child. sometimes people that are from different countries have different ways of doing things but it doesn't mean that they won't respect your decisions. good luck!

You'd have to be pretty dedicated to get one this young potty trained, most kids' bodies aren't ready until they're closer to 2, even if they know what to do, since they're still growing pretty fast. I'd have her hold back, but mostly because that means you'll have to follow through on what she's doing, and do you have that kind of time?

Hello 9 months might be a little early but I did start potty training my little girl at 17 months and it took about 3-4 weeks and she had it down pat. I think she only had like 4 accidents which is pretty good. I know most people say you should wait till they are 2-3 but for some children they are ready before that and if you wait then they get a mind of there own and think it is no fun and then the children can be 4 before they are completely potty trained. I would say it is totally up to your child and how willing they are. 9 months to me is to early but I would start before he is 2.
This is just my experience so every child is different and I wouldn't pressure it on your child at this point.

I have heard multiple people talk about potty training before a year. All were born overseas.

What I was told is that they generally put baby on the toilet in the morning around the time of their typical BM and start with that.

For all the people I heard from, it led to a potty trained 18 month old.

I personally am not trying that early, but I don't see a downside as long as the caregiver is patient and has reasonable expectations.

I think at this age it would be more like Elimination Communication. Which would consist of just responding to you baby's cues and responding by placing him or holding him on potty and letting him go. I do not believe there is any pressure like the kind you think of when potty training older children. I know of several people who have had great success with this even younger than 9 months old.

I was taught that if you begin potty training before like 27 months it will only frustrate you and the baby! I learned with my daughter that she was not going to do it before she was ready. I can't imagine a baby of 9 months going potty. Certainly would save money if it works. I'm interested to hear what happens!

9 months is awfully young!! I don't personally know of any child who was trained prior to 2 years of age.

If you're skeptical, go with your instincts and ask her to stop if you want. She needs to follow your lead on anything to do with your son. It's interesting that she told you, rather than asked you, about her plans. Can he stand and walk any distance yet? Potty training usually follows after a child can stand, plus walk, sit when asked to, sense the urge to "go" sometimes even if he still goes in a diaper, can pull pants up and down -- nine-month-olds can't do all those things. If she's pressuring you (and him) to let her do this, is it just because it would be more convenient for her if he were potty-trained ASAP? Any day care provider should be willing to change diapers, then pull-ups, for some time to come -- and tackle potty training when he's physically and mentally ready, on his schedule and not hers, and when you as the parent and the employer say it's time.If you want backup for your skepticism when you talk to her about it, maybe try asking your pediatrician so you can tell her what the doctor says. I'd bet the doctor will say nine months is too young because the basic milestones that indicate a kid is ready to train are still a way off. Let us know what happens.
