My oldest son we introduced his little potty at around 18 mnths he didnt understand it, continued to try at age 2 he was 31/2 before he actually got it. My youngest who just turned 2 is potty training now I still dont force it I will ask if he has to go if yes then we will go sit on the potty and he will go but he is still not at a 100% on going to the potty all the time but he is getting it. I was always told by the kids pediatrician that a child can never get to much attention. I am not saying spoon feed them forever some things they need to learn on there on and let them do it but attention a child  always needs attention if thats what they want

If I have your definition correct, Children of this age should be pampered you cant give them enough positive attention, do not listen to such nonsense, and a 'almost one year old child is too young to have any 'potty training or anything like it, some countries start at 2years old from years of personal pottying I find if you do it too early they reverse and wet again , here even 3 year old can be the Norm when it clicks into their little heads, Hope you listen to your own heart and do pamper him.

Whoever told you that a one year old should not be in diapers is absolutely crazy.  Most children are not potty trained until well around the 2 yr mark (some babies are ready around 18 months, but I'm not sure how common that is).  I  heard that boys typically are not ready until much later than girls, and that it is perfectly acceptable to not even start trying until they are almost 3 yrs old.  My daughter is 25 months old, and we are still potty training.  She will go to the bathroom on the toilet, but still does not have the control over her bladder to be able to tell me when she has to go to the bathroom. She has control over her bowel movements and announces when she has to go, so we are starting to have better success with that part of going on the toilet. Your child will be ready to get out of diapers when he understands what it means to have the urge to go pee or poop, and when he can communicate to you that he needs to be brought to the bathroom to go.  Not only that, he also needs to be able to hold it until you can get him to the bathroom to actually release it.  My son is 13 months old, and there is NO WAY he would understand what I was saying if I told him not to pee in his diaper.  You have a long time before having to worry about this.  My daughter's pre-school class is comprised of 2 yr olds and recently turned 3 yr olds.  Only about a quarter of them are potty trained.  Even the potty trained ones still wear pull ups in the event of an accident.  Wait until your chid is ready to start this process.  If you try to start too early, it will only cause undue stress on you and your baby. It will be much easier when he's ready and can communicate effectively with you. Enjoy these days of him being a baby and let him grow up when he's ready.  Best of luck to you when you do begin the process of getting out of diapers.  Take care.
