So just to set the seen about five weeks ago Audrey (7mts) was constipated from eating carrots so for three days every time she pooped I would put her on the potty because she would be screaming in pain. So when she would finish I would praise her and sign potty ever since then I put her on the potty before bath and sign potty and sometimes she goes potty. That's the base I've started from.
Today was day one of baby potty time and I think it went great....mostly ;) The good thing that's come from this so far is that I've been changing her diaper every hour therefore she already has less diaper rash. So, if that's all that comes out of this I'm happy. Quick run down I put her on the potty first thing this morning and she signed finish so I moved on then when she started using her diaper while grunting I put her on the potty and signed potty and she finished potty. Next few times we just hung out in the bathroom for a few minutes laughing while she threw a toy fish at me so no potty use, but a good time. My older daughter Karaline hung out with us and made it a goofy fun time. Then this evening Audrey finished dinner and I put her on the potty not thinking about it I didn't check her diaper and flung poop all over my jeans as I pulled her diaper off. Ahh, but on a good note Audrey peed on the potty while I was cleaning the poop off of me =D. Then lastly I put her on the potty right before bath and she peed instantly so that's a bonus. I think I'm a little crazy to be blogging about this, but what the heck I am crazy.
I read a great article about this http://www.babycenter.com/0_infant-potty-training-what-it-is-and-how-to-do-it_1745035.bc my favorite part was when they said that if you consider success having your child potty trained earlier than the average American you'll be successful not necessarily that you'll have a potty trained baby.
Here's to day one =) the cloth diapers are in the washing machine and I'm no longer covered in poop. Cheers.
