I Taught my Baby to Potty

I Taught My Baby To Use the Potty!
December 18th, 2006 |Edit

WOW,

I taught my baby to use the potty. What?! What do you mean?

When my daughter was three weeks old I started sitting her on the baby potty in my lap. I caught many pee’s and made a special sound and a hand sign when she went. This called attention to my baby’s pee, and over time she began to associate the sound, the sign, and the feel of the potty on her bottom with the sensation of peeing.

When she was about 5 months, I started to get stressed about it, so I stopped doing it for several weeks. Only putting her on the potty occasionally and only catching a pee once in a while. But a few weeks ago (around her 8 month birthday) she crawled to me and said “mammama” and whined at me. She isn’t normally like that, so I asked her if she wanted to eat and made the hand sign to go with it, but she stared at me blankly. So I thought, “why not see if she will potty?”. I asked her if she wanted to potty and made the hand sign, and she got all excited so I took off her diaper and put her on. And guess what! She peed!

I thought it was a fluke, but more and more she fusses a bit and I ask her if she wants the potty and she gets excited or smiles at me, so I put her on and she pees! She has even poo’d once or twice! I’m so excited! I think she might use the potty, when she asks, but with my help, by the time she is a year old. Then I can say BYE BYE diapers!
