IT IS THAT SIMPLE TO POTTY TRAIN YOUR BABY
Can you believe that my baby who is just 3 month old is potty trained? Of course, she still can't sit on the potty herself... But at this very young age, she is aware that when Daddy puts her over the potty, it is POO POO time!

I tell you it is possible to potty train your baby from the moment he/she is born. I can say this because we did. We did not plan to do this, we were forced to.
This is because our baby has the habit of pooing once a day or every two days since she is born.
So you can imagine the amount of poo n her diaper. In the past, when she pooed in her diaper, we would try to clean her buttocks thinking that she had finished.
Lo and Behold, another squirt of '#*#*' would catch you by surprise. And if you were lucky, the poo wouldn't land on your shirt or face!!! Mind you, it actually happened to a few family members - Mummy, Daddy, and Po Po (Grandmother).
Hence, her unique pooing habit left us with no choice but to potty train her when she was just 2 weeks old.
We had two methods of training her...
Method One:
From experience, we found that she had this 'pushing' expression on the face whenever she needed to poo. Therefore, when we spotted it, one of us would quickly put her over the potty. With this, she gets used to pooing in a potty and will have no 'phobia' of doing it when she is older. We know of friends' children who refused to poo over the potty even at 2-3 years old.
Method Two:
Make it a habit to put your baby over the potty at certain time of the day e.g. after first feed or after the evening feed. The timing is entirely up to you. After a while, your baby will get used to the timing and will only poo when he/she is put over the potty. Of course, there will be days when he/she still poo in the diaper. What is important is that she gets used to pooing when put over the potty.
The key to successfully potty train is to start young! And the added advantage of your baby pooing over the potty is that you get to minimise the number of soiled diapers which helps in this uncertain economic climate.
Hope this sharing is useful to parents and parents-to-be. Feel free to drop a comment or two if you want to find out more how we train our baby to poo over the potty.
