Twice the pee, twice the poop… twice as hard to potty train, right? Not always. Tandem-training has its challenges (like simultaneous puddles in different rooms), but each twin can be a positive influence on the other sib. Peer pressure is a powerful force when it comes to potty-training twins, and your dynamic duo may well motivate each other to get with the program.
First things first, though. Are your twins showing signs of readiness— are they asking to be changed when their diapers are wet or craving privacy when they need to poop? If so, check out this toilet-training guide for the dos and don’ts of getting your ready-to-potty-train twins out of their diapers.
DON’T feel you have to potty train your twins at the same time.Some twins, especially boy/girl sets, learn to use the toilet as much as a year apart — and that’s okay. All kids are different (even if yours look a lot alike). Still, lots of parents decide to tandem toilet train as soon as one seems ready so as not to prolong the process. And if things go well, the less eager twin will show more interest when she sees her sib using a potty.
