[quote=Anonymous]Op here, I’m glad I’m not the only one. I was shocked when she said she had to speak with the pediatrician- most parents that I know are always like go for it or like I mentioned, excited. I feel like she’s not ready for her child to grow up which is a part of why she wasn’t happy about starting the process, and I get it, this is her first child but now you have another one on the way. And not just potty training, it’s a lot that this child gets away with and if they don’t nip it in the bud, they’re going to be a wreck when new baby comes but that’s a whole different story.

I know I’m no doctor, but I have over 10 years with this age group and she’s aware of that, why not ask me or talk about your concerns? As for regressing at age 3, that doesn’t matter if your child is potty trained at 18 months  or 2.5- each child is different and they can regress or not regress at all. I’ve had 2 year olds potty trained and turned 4 and started having accidents. Typically if a child regresses, it’s for attention or something due to dramatic changes (new baby, moving, transitioning to another class or school, parent gone away etc.) in that child’s life/schedule.

I mentioned to the other MB about the other MB’s concerns and she was mute. I just wanted her to know, I didn’t want her to feel forced and if she wants to hold off let me know. This is not my first rodeo and I feel when you start introducing early the training process is slightly easier vs just showing a child what a potty is and reading books when they’re 2.5. I am NOT potty training no child at 3!   [/quote]
