[QUOTE="Katharine, post: 43770, member: 7958"] Hi Jen, My son is type one but didn't get diabetes till he was 12. He did not become dry by day till he was three and he wasn't dry at night ever till 3 and a half. I was not dry at night till I was over six. Making a basic assumption that my second son was likely to be late toilet training as well, I didn't even bother attempting it. When he was two and a half he started changing his own nappy (even going and lying down on the changing mat to do so!) and I got the potty out. Within a week he had toilet trained himself and wasn't having any of this potty stuff. One of my relatives started toilet training her little girl when she was 18 months. This is the early side but it worked for her. I think that there is a wide range of time that works for toilet training. Any high blood sugars will result in extra peeing and this will make things more difficult. Boys tend to be later than girls. Your son's Down's syndrome is likely to delay him quite a bit longer too. Overall I think that planning to have your wee boy toilet trained by a year from now is perhaps a bit ambitious. Every child is different though. [/QUOTE]
