I thought this book was great. I’d been told that 18 months was early to introduce the potty to my daughter, but this book gave me the morale boost and the information that i needed. In less than a week my daughter has made great strides and we are well on our way to being diaper free.
I found the section on the history of potty training and the role of the disposable diaper industry in delaying toilet training very interesting. I used disposables, but did not feel at all rebuked by the author’s tone. However I am seriously considering cloth now for my second baby. Regardless of the diaper debate, the instructions and advice were just as relevant for me as they would be for a dedicated cloth diaper mom.
Also, this book has specific advice for those starting potty training at any age level, but it’s mostly for those interested in starting before age 2. pros and cons are given for starting at different ages, and i didn’t feel that there was a pushy tone about starting training very young (although the arguements are persuasive for at least doing a little “elimination communication” during infancy).
For my 18 month old, I followed much of Sonna’s advice while trusting my own insticts and following my daughter’s cues. We moved a little more quickly than her timeline because that suited us. For our “potty sits” we ended up close together with me either behind her potty seat w/ a book in her lap or me on the step stool next to her reading picture books, and we didn’t set a timer. The best thing that I did (on the book’s advice) was to spend long mornings with my daughter running around pants-free and diaperless so that she could learn about elimination and she could see for herself why the potty chair is a good place to go – and so i could learn her patterns.
I heard about EC (or elimination communication) about four years ago, when my son was 9 months old. (He is now nearly four.) I didn’t have any books on the topic at the time, but decided to try it anyway at home with my son as soon as he started to walk. When he started to walk two weeks before his 1st birthday, I started leaving him without diapers in the daytime, or putting him in cloth and pointing out to him when he was peeing. He was trained by 15 months. (He could go to the bathroom when it was time without reminders. I only needed to help him with some clothing for about three months more, then it was elastic waists for a while.) He was peeing and pooing on the potty, and going all day without accidents.
Three years after my son was born I gave birth to a daughter. The christmas before her birth my brother gave me this book. I read it cover to cover. At two weeks old I started to catch her pee in a pot. It was easy a first. Then as she was able to go longer between eliminations, I couldn’t catch it on a regular basis anymore. I left her in diapers and just put her on the potty when I changed her. Sometimes we caught some sometimes we didn’t. But she began to associate the pot with elimination and with the word “potty” and the sign for toilet.
I am proud to say that just yesterday my daughter crawled up to me saying “mamamama” I was wondering what she wanted so I picked her up, and asked her if she wanted to eat (while showing her the sign for eating), she stared at me blankly, so I took a chance and asked her if she wanted to go potty (and showed her the sign). She became very excited. So I put her on the potty and she peed! My daughter is almost eight months old.
