When should we make the switch from diapers to training pants? To underwear?
When she is truly using the toilet independently (which is what the term toilet training should mean), your child is able to dress and undress on her own. The main reason to switch from diapers to training pants is because your child can't remove her diaper by herself. So keep her in diapers until you can see signs (such as straining, grunting, or holding her genitals) that she is about to go.
Don't switch to underwear until she's toilet trained. Because underwear really can't hold or absorb children's waste, switching a child to underwear as a way to coerce her into being toilet trained is often a mistake.
