I started letting my daughter to wear panties during the.day when she was about 1.5 years old that time its mostly miss. But she got the hang of it. We just bought a basic potty in the mall, nothing fancy. But for poops, its straight to the toilet. The Squatty Potty i redeemed here in the app is of great help. But you can also use stool so that your child's legs wont be hanging.
