Talk with your child's healthcare professional if your child:
- Is older than 2 1/2 years old and has no interest in toilet training.
- Is older than 3 years old and isn't toilet trained during the daytime.
- Refuses to sit on the potty chair or toilet.
- Holds back stool.
Your child's healthcare professional can give you advice on what to do next. The healthcare professional also can check to see if a health condition is causing your child's trouble with potty training.
