Potty training - what age to start? Some very lucky parents find their child easily potty trains without many issues. Other parents aren’t so lucky. Some will try for months without result or just as they are making progress the child seems to regress.
It’s not easy trying to decide what the right age for potty training your child is, The recommended age by many pediatricians is somewhere between 18 months to 36 months.
However, this doesn’t mean that as soon as your child turns 18 months you have to rush out and buy a potty. This is just a guideline and you should use your own judgment as to what age is best for your child to start, after all you know your child best.
