I feel so torn about starting potty training with my 20 month old. Lately, I’ve noticed signs that he might be ready, like telling me when his diaper is dirty, showing interest in the toilet, and even sitting on it sometimes (though he doesn’t do anything yet). But when I mentioned it to his teachers they said they don’t think he’s ready and suggested waiting a bit longer. Now I’m secondguessing myself.
As his mom I feel like I know him best, but I also don’t want to push him too soon if he’s not ready. How do you really know when the timing is right? Any advice or experiences would be so helpful!
Been there, it’s so hard to know when to pull the trigger! 
My son was around the same age when I thought he was ready but our daycare also told us to hold off. Honestly, we gave it a go anyway just super casual at first and it turned out he was ready. We kept it low pressure, letting him sit on the potty when he wanted and it ended up going smoother than I expected. If you feel like your little one’s showing signs, maybe try it at home without any pressure. You can always pause if it doesn’t go well!
I’m going through this right now too with my 2 year old! It feels like a guessing game, doesn’t it? Some days he’s all about the potty and then the next he wants nothing to do with it. Do you think it’s better to wait until they’re more consistent or just start and see how it goes? I’m always wondering if there’s ever really a “perfect” time.
