I don't limit the amount of liquids. I have quite a bit of experience potty training. What I advise parents is, start out by sitting your child on the potty often, and by often, usually, every 1-2 hours. This will "catch" them needing to go. When they go, praise them like crazy. This will encourage them to go more often and will more likely like going to the potty. This will also teach them what the toilet is used for. Once they start going often, and are already in pull ups, I encourage people to switch to regular . This will be messy for about a month, but I believe children are more likely to go in the toilet rather than in the pull ups or if they are more aware of the mess created by them not sitting on the potty.
