I have three beautiful children. Anthony is 6, Jenna is 2, and my youngest Emily is 19 months. Now my question is Emily was born 9 weeks to early. My miricale baby, they didn't think we were bring home a well child. Well they were wrong. She is thriving and a beautiful child. But my son took forever to potty train. Jenna been potty trained for about 6 months. But now Emily will not keep a diaper on at all. She cries the second she becomes wet and she has alot of intrest in her sister when using the potty. Do you think that 19 months is to early to start potty traing. Any advice would help.

There is no set age on when you should potty train, It's when your child is ready. If she is showing intrest go for it.

A friend of mine potty trained her little girl at around 6-months. I think if she is showing signs of readiness why not encourage it. My daughter was ready and literally trained in 1 day, my older son made up for it! He was difficult, so each child is definitely different. Best wishes.

Go for it. Many parents miss the window at this age. Since she has a big sister she wants to model, DO IT! The more consistent you are the easier she will get it. Hey my 2.25 yr old was dry on her 2nd bday after only starting the process 2 weeks earlier. She is doing so well. Good luck. Take it day by day, don't push too much but keep praising for success. :)

Read the child, not the manual. 19 months is not too early. My mom started at 6 months, was done by 12. It will take a while, but that's OK. Don't push it, don't hold her back.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
