[quote=Anonymous]My mom and dad stayed with us for one year each time we had a new baby. My mom started “training” both my kids when they were about 6 months old. I think the adults were more trained in getting the kids to sit on the potty to pee and poop timing it strategically. Lol.. anyhow, both kids were able to indicate that they needed to use the toilet by the time they were a 18 month old. They became completely toilet trained by three.

The upside was —  saving on diapers and wipes, ecologically responsible, minimal cleaning of their butts, could use normal toilet paper and sanitary faucets, kids got toilet trained very quickly and organically, and no diaper rash or other infections …EVER.

Downside - we still used some diapers at night, when  going out, when kids were sick, while traveling etc.   Kids did not like to go pee or poop in diaper and wanted to be changed as soon as they had an accident. We had to make portable kid potties available at all levels of our house, in the toy room, in their bedroom, in the backyard, in the back of our minivan….you get the idea. Their bladders are small and they can’t really hold in their pee and poop for too long. Their clothing had to also work so they could pull down their pants quickly to use the bathroom.[/quote]
