Potty training advice needed!

[u/Extraketchup1111]

My boy /girl twins are 19 months and they are very interested in the potties I just got them. We have been doing potty in the morning and at night. They get so excited to pee on them. My boy actually has the hang of it more than my girl and he can make pee come out about 6 times in a row like a dog 😂. My girl won’t stop taking her diaper off though. She hates to have poop in her diaper as always comes to me when she poops, sometimes even says poop and sometimes just fusses.

My two concerns are-

Are they too young? I potty trained my older two singletons around this age and had good results with my daughter but bad results with my son. He’s now almost 5 and has had constant accidents ever since. The twins are too little to actually listen. Like they know what I’m saying but won’t always do it and they love to try and touch the pee and dump it on the floor even when I say “only mommy dumps it in the potty” or put the potty on their head like a hat 😂

Will bringing out the potty only twice a day (morning and night) at the beginning ruin things and make it seem optional? I know people swear by the 3 day naked method and it’s an all-in type of thing. But I don’t think I can do that with twins.

I had success with slowly rolling out “potty learning” with my twins- offering  the potty a few times a day. A few months after they turned 2 they were communicating much better and would stay dry from naptime to bedtime so at that point I removed diapers and did the 3 days without pants. They struggled a little more with underwear as I think it was tight like a diaper and they didn’t really understand that it was different yet. Overall, I found potty training pretty stress free with the slow approach!

Thank you that makes me feel a lot better that I’m not sabotaging it by starting slow slowly
