Potty Training Multiples

mrsmac08

Did you potty train both/all at the same time? Or at different times? DD seems close to ready - she rarely has a wet diaper overnight or during naps and talks about going potty all the time. I don't think DS is ready.  I ordered potty chairs online (there was a sale) and I didn't intend for them to start today but they saw them and were really interested in them. So, I let them play with them a bit and then let DD sit on it in the bathroom, and she peed right away.

Also, just curious, how old were they when you started? Thanks!

We did both at once but they were at about the same interest level. We used the three day naked method. If you do something like that maybe try both of them together but don't push it if he's not getting it just yet.

We PT'd our b/g twins at the same time. We went to underwear during the day and kept diapers overnight. There were a few accidents, but they were both PT after 1 1/2 weeks. They were a little over 2.5 yo and were dry overnight before they were 3. It can take years though before a child's body is capable of overnight dryness.

I PT mine at different times.  One of my boys was ready at 3 years and 4 months where his brother was ready at 3 years and 6 months.  I tried to do them at the same time but the one who wasn't ready walked over to his baby brother's diapers and put one one himself declaring him to be a baby still.  I took that as a hint he wasn't ready :P

Separately at our house, DD was very ready & interested at 2.5, it went very quickly &easily. DS was not at all interested until after 3 (he is 3 yrs 5 months and we're still struggling w/ it).

We did it at the same time, but they are so identical with all their development that it just made sense.
