Infant potty training saved our family vacation when the 9 month old would go poop on her baby potty before we got on the boat each day, so we didn't have to worry about yucky swim diapers and smelly wet messes in the boat. It was awesome!! We still used diapers, but we were somewhere in the middle, we could go with out if we wanted, it was great. <br />by the way, you have a crazy video game ad on your sidebar that is called League of Angels and it borders on cartoon porn, wondered if you knew...if so oh well, to each there own, but thought you might want to check it out.

Then, once he started crawling, it all changed and he refused to use the potty anymore. I got discouraged and gave up. Now he's 20 months and we're due with #3 in just 4 weeks and I really want to potty train him now, before he gets too old. I still believe in the method and want to try it from birth with this next one. It's not for the faint of heart, though, is it?! :) Sara - My Merry Messy Lifehttp://mymerrymessylife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411670939093474721.post-41520233790796173692012-11-11T15:54:42.774-08:002012-11-11T15:54:42.774-08:00You can get a used copy from amazon for just under...You can get a used copy from amazon for just under $15.

They laughed, made fun (lovingly, of course) but are now super impressed. It's working and they can't argue with that. ;) For encouragement on starting with older kids you should check out Mei-Ling Hopgood's book "How Eskimos Keep Their Babies Warm", specifically the chapter "How the Chinese Potty Train Early". Best of luck! I'd love to hear how it goes. <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08161676459208780084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411670939093474721.post-48345498891925468752012-10-29T14:34:43.966-07:002012-10-29T14:34:43.966-07:00Thanks, Courtney!

Pretty hilarious. <br /><br />I highly recommend Bauer's book. I would recommend doing an amazon/library search if you want to get a hold of her's. Her's is the one I read, but there are others on the same subject. <br /><br />I highly doubt any daycare would be on board. :( But, you could always to diaper free "part-time". You could just practice it when Jr.'s at home. I have heard that any little bit helps! It definitely wouldn't hurt!<br /><br />Let me know if you have any more questions/thoughts. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08161676459208780084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411670939093474721.post-71251826310938228772012-10-15T09:43:56.231-07:002012-10-15T09:43:56.231-07:00That picture of the baby with the open-bottom pant...That picture of the baby with the open-bottom pants...is that for real?

I wonder if this strategy can work for parents who must both work outside the home and must put their child in daycare. Daycares won't even work with cloth diapering parents - I doubt they'd work with this method. :( Jill of all Tradeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11457731170900293409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411670939093474721.post-36956707757445751212012-10-11T14:51:44.514-07:002012-10-11T14:51:44.514-07:00You should see about connecting to the facebook gr...You should see about connecting to the facebook group I linked to in this post.

And he freaks out when he sees it! :D So, we're trying to catch him when he's squatting and put him on the toilet, but then he won't go. The second we put him back in the water, he goes. Darn kid. <br /><br />But I'm definitely still thinking about trying further because I certainly don't want to still be changing poops when he's pushing 3 years old like I did with my daughter. <br /><br />Thanks Jackie, you post about things that I want to do but have either been too scared or too busy to try. You give me more encouragement to keep trying. :) Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17874749155984145903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411670939093474721.post-6323797322559092962012-10-05T12:27:39.907-07:002012-10-05T12:27:39.907-07:00Yay!

It completely worked and I can count on one hand the number of dirty diapers I change once she started eating solids. However, this does get much more difficult when you have other children, or at least it did for us. When you have a toddler running around the house, you can't spend all day with a newborn laying on your chest. Thankfully, though we have been able to modify this a bit to at least have our babies pooing on the potty the majority of the time. I've recently slipped with our 1 year old, so thanks for the reminder to get back on the ECing horse :)Tim, Allyson, and kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783456001791140306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411670939093474721.post-29363152750949847862012-09-25T07:17:20.490-07:002012-09-25T07:17:20.490-07:00Good to hear because I still feel REALLY weird doi...Good to hear because I still feel REALLY weird doing this in public!
