Twilli goes potty

This is the first of an ongoing journal of our experience taking Twilli to the potty. So far, I’m absolutely THRILLED with her adoption of the method. Please leave comments about your experience!

[Originally written on January 23, 2008]

We just started to experiment with infant potty training/elimination communication last week.

I haven’t read any books or anything. But I’ve read a lot about it on forums, and read many testimonials. Now I shall add mine to the list.

Our DD is 5 months old. We bought the padded mini-seat that fits right over the regular toilet seat. We put her on the potty right after a diaper change, and lo and behold, she pooped!!

So far, we’ve taken her to the potty at least once a day since. And every day, she has managed to successfully USE THE POTTY!!

At this point, I’m a believer! Mind you, we still use disposable diapers. And I do not run around with a diaperless baby. BUT, this is teaching DD that the potty is the appropriate (and more comfortable) place to do her business.

Oh, how fun! I heard most ppl say you shouldn’t even try to make your kid go and potty and such a young age but hey, it looks like to me that you’ve got a good method going here! Kids aren’t dumb and I think if you do try that around that age they’ll grasp the concept better. I’ve a younger sister who is over 2 1/2 and she still won’t use the potty :P I am think if my Mom maybe pushed it a little sooner, things would be better for everyone.
