Use patience when potty training

You probably don't remember being a toddler, but some toddlers have a hard time learning to use the toilet. As a parent, you may be yearning for the day when you no longer have to change soiled diapers or pull-ups. Most children become potty trained around the ages of 3 or 4. Some begin using the toilet right away, with very little difficulties. However, some children have a difficult time adjusting to this new way of doing things.

Free Potty Training Tips & Advice!

Discover the simplest ways to get started on your baby pottying adventure. It really is a doorway into another realm of communication and understanding of your baby. Infant Potty Training is fun, rewarding, and need not be messy - any more than changing a diaper is inevitably messy! With baby pottying, you'll skip some of those messy diaper changes.

1. Infant Potty Training is no different to your baby gradually learning to walk, in the sense that they are gradually developing their awareness and skills related to toilet use - with our loving assistance and guidance. As with encouraging your baby to move with excitement at their attempts at wriggling, rolling and creeping, with Infant Potty Training, it's the same. You simply offer your baby the opportunity to regularly use a toilet place, knowing they won't be able to independently use it, yet they can gesture, indicate their desire to use it from quite young. It won't be all the time - just as they will fall when learning to crawl, then walk.

2. When holding the chubby hand of your baby as they begin cruising the furniture you don't expect them to always get it right. You expect them to fall over, and gently encourage them with smiles and cheers to keep trying. It doesn't matter how many times they tumble, it's all valuable experience! With infant potty training, or elimination communication, it's all about the communication, paving the way to eventual independence through fun moments helping your baby relieve themselves somewhere other than their clothing (as diapers are clothing to your baby!) In between potty breaks, your baby wears a diaper or nappy. When they are wet, you change their nappy, just as if you were using nappies full-time. Yet, overall, you will use less nappies or diapers!

3. A lot of the so-called controversy over Infant Potty Training is due to the fact people mistakenly think it is like conventional toilet training applied to a baby, which is simply wrong. Those of us who love it have mastered the realization that Infant Potty Training is really about the relationship between us. It is about helping your baby stay as clean and dry as you can by giving them those timely opportunities to go, rather than always simply cleaning up after them.
