Potty Training Your Twins

When my twins were 18 months old, that was last month, I purchased two singing potty chairs.

Will, at first I only had one, but as you know, babies always fight over the same toy or same shoes or same whatever. So, I had to go get another potty chair that sings.

Well, let's just say they are not ready to use their potty chairs yet and I am not pushing them to do so. I figure once they learn to speak in sentences and speak English, they will be more inclined to learn and understand what it means to sit on the potty and release whatever needs to come out into the potty chair.

I found a helpful article at this website, Multiple Births Families, about potty training your twins. At this time in my twins life, I am correct in waiting to train them to use the potty when they are at least 2 years of age.

With my twins, I have noticed they do the following when they have to go potty:

• touch their private area
• quat down
• circle around for a while
• look at me and touch their private area again

No, these are all signs they are ready to be potty trained, but you can only lead a horse to water..you know the rest....

So, even if you want them potty trained right this instant, it is not up to you, but when they are ready to release the pee pee into the potty.

Happy potty training to you and your sweet twins....

Potty Training and Twins

In April of this year, when my twins were 17 months old, I decided to begin or attempt to potty train them. The weather was going to get warmer pretty soon so it would be fun for them to be in our backyard, in their birthday suits, going pee.


This did not last too long, so I got them their own potty chairs which plays music when baby goes #1 or #2.

Today, at 19 months, they love their potty chairs, but not for going potty, they stand in the base where the music is played and they laugh as the music comes on.

At this point, I am not even close to getting them to use the potty in the proper way.

I am sure they will not be ready to be potty trained until they are at least 2 years old.

Twins and Potty Training

This month, which has been a very loooong month, I have attempted to potty train A&E.

They each have a potty that when they use it, a song will play.

So far, they only stand in the potty. I sit down so they can see what it looks like when you go potty, and I sit them down on their potty. But, at they seem to be uninteresed at this time.

Although, two Sunday's ago, Twin "A" did use the potty, for #2, when she was shown where to sit by her grandma. Daddy and I were out for a while and when we got home, grandma told us what Twin "A" had done. Grandma said Twin "A" had gone #2 on the bathroom floor at first, then grandma moved her to the potty where she finished.

Well, yesterday, after the twins were in their baby pool for a while, they came in and I sat them down on their pottychairs. Twin "B" looked like she had to go #1, so I took off her swinsuit and diaper. At first, she pottied on the floor, then I moved her to the potty where she finished. I had to keep sitting her down though.

When she was finished, a song came on and I showed her what she had done.

At this time, I would not even say they are ready to be diaper free. But, they are learning what it is like to use the potty.
