The potty

[jewel441]

Has anyone been doing early potty communication or whatever they call it?

We just bought a little potty and have her sit on it sometimes and talk about it. Last night she was making poop faces so we put her on it and she pooped in the potty! It was very exciting... obviously not real training or anything yet...

But in another mom's group I'm in early pre-training came up and someone said their 11 month old does 95% of their poops on the potty... I was like what?!?!?!

Not even close. But, girls seem to get it much faster than boys!

A will sometimes answer me if I ask her if she has a dirty diaper on. Then go to where we change her. Not consistently, but it's happened more than a few times.
I started putting her brother on the potty at 15 months or so and he was pooping on it by 17 months about 85% of the time. So awesome for a cloth diaper family! I'll do the same with her once I feel like she can sit up on the big toilet with the ring and I won't worry about her falling off. No room for a little potty.

I have no desire to do this. I'm too traumatized from potty training 2 reluctant boys... I need a nice long break before we go there with K lol. She likes to follow me into the bathroom every time and be all in my business... and pull the toilet paper off the roll.

No way.

Well, I still haven't potty trained my almost three year old, so...

Hahahahahaha


No.

In all seriousness though, we are still working on her saying anything close to milk/eat. She'll say a bunch of other words but not anything that conveys her needs. On top of that, it is a total no go with daycare. She's still in the infant room for at least another 6 months and they don't have a bathroom for the babies there. Daycare will train her and I just have to do what they tell me. Halleluiah for that!!

Oh and I'm still in love with all the cute cloth diapers because I'm a weirdo.

I'm so hoping I'm back to work by the time DS is ready to be potty trained so daycare can do it for me. I've been trying to figure out how to get DD potty trained for months and she has no interest! I think if she were in daycare and saw all of the other kids doing it, we'd have an easier time.

Nope. Dd1 trained at 2.5 years. I figure about the same for E. I really feel at this age it's more the parent who is trained. I'd rather change diapers than have to take them to the potty a million times and undress them, get them redressed. It's enough of a pain helping my oldest and she's 4 lol.

Even though its expensive as hell to send her its worth every penny just for that.

All up in the business. No child, you cannot lay your head in my lap while I pee.

Nope. Don't even want to think about it lol. We just got our 3 year old trained within the last 2 months.

I put k on the toilet with the seat down to put her shoes on and I don't see how she'll ever be able to sit on their without a special kids seat. She's so tiny.
