Toilet Training - When To Call a Doctor

Call your health professional if you have concerns about your child's readiness for or progress with toilet training.

Most children use the toilet during the day consistently and successfully around age 3. Call your health professional if your child:

  • Does not use the toilet during the day by age 4.
  • Continues to soil his or her pants after age 5.
