I normally recommend that potty training should start at 2 years of age, when the child is ready. So please your child is still young. In some climes, potty training a child less than two years old is termed child abuse. Please don't let people's claim of potty training as early as 6 months deceive you.You have not done anything wrong. Wait till he/she is older. All the best.
Look for some of following signs of readiness: Notices when diaper or clothing is wet or soiled, Shows interest in self-care (e.g., dressing, hand-washing, toileting), Shows interest in other’s toileting behavior, Completely empties bladder when voiding and
stays dry about 2 hours at a time, Has bowel movements that follow a regular and
predictable pattern, Is able to walk to and from bathroom independently, Has the balance to sit on toilet 2 – 5 minutes, Follows a few simple directions (e.g., sit down), Indicates need to go to the bathroom through facial expressions, postures, gestures, pictures, or words. Don't be in a hurry to ditch the diaper...
