For many, potty training is a huge and unpleasant step, both
for parents and children. Here is how we plan to avoid the stress and make it
part of everyday life.
As soon as our little guy could sit up well we began his potty
training. Yep, he was 5 months old and that may seem crazy but trust me it
works. So we began by sitting him on the pot when we changed his nappy. Every
time we changed him he would sit on there for 30 seconds or so, so that he
could begin to associate the nappy with the potty. After a week or so we could
see a pattern emerging with his toileting so we changed the times we routinely
changed him to be after milk or food. You can imagine the surprise when just 7
days after we began our little man had his first achievement! From there on out
we have had more and more success to the point that one month and a week after
first putting him on his potty he now succeeds at least 3 times per day. The
idea now is to continue as we are until he is walking comfortably around 14
months then take off the nappy and hope for success. I’ll keep you posted...
Let me know what you think or what your experience of potty
training was like.
