Infant Potty Training
Many have been asking for more information on infant potty-training and how we have done this with Kathrynne. You can read more about it in a previous post here: Infant Potty Training
We started Kathrynne at around 6 months (because I wanted to wait until she could sit up and be able to understand) and she caught on within about a week or less and has been successful ever since then. I don't think that it can be attributed to any brilliance on my part as a mother. She caught on very easily and prefers to go on the toilet. So, as long as I am consistent to remember to take her, I don't have to change very many diapers. It has not been difficult to do at all-- quite the contrary. I don't know that it would be this easy with every baby, but I certainly would rather train a baby than a 4-year-old. I've had enough experience with that to know it's not enjoyable!

thank you for sharing this information. i need to look at the book again to find out more about the how to. how frequently do you put kathrynne on the potty? and how long did it take you to get comfortable with her cues? for her to get comfortable with the concept/purpose of sitting on the pot? i find this method so wonderful. i hope to get to try it.

We take Kathrynne after every feeding and then any other time she seems to indicate she needs to go. Usually at least every 3 hours. She always goes almost immediately and definitely completely understands that that's what she's supposed to do. We always praise her and she just loves praise (don't all children??).
Our 22 month old is ready to be potty trained. When we had her, I didn't know about infant potty training ... first I heard about it was in To Train Up a Child when I read it a month ago.
I'm pregnant again, so hubby and I decided that we'd give infant potty training a try and see how it goes. I'm looking forward to trying it. Thank you for your post. :-)
