Has anyone successfully done “Oh, Crap” potty training st 18 months?

Anonymous
This really would be a perfect time (for us) to potty train my normal, average 18 month old. Is it too early? He poops at the same times every day.

Thanks!

We did it at 20 month. I don't see any harm in trying...

18 months sounds early...

I would introduce the potty, but with zero expectations or pressure at this point.

I would definitely do some early introduction “work “: naked time and underwear under diapers to get your child familiar with the sensation of releasing urine. You can also start doing standing diaper changes in the bathroom and set up the potty. Even try pooping on the potty at his regular times.

Wait on the three day Oh, Crap until 20 months.

This advice is the exact OPPOSITE of the Oh Crap method.

You’re confusing two methods. Oh Crap does not promise anything in 3 days. But it does work.
