This may be TMI but my mother had me fully potty trained at 6 months cause she was pregnant and refused to change two babies at once. The trick, she took me with her whenever she went to the bathroom. There was a potty for me next to hers. By the time my sister was born I was 1 and no longer in diapers cause I knew how to let my mother know. It’s mostly repetition along with timing after meals.
I mean I know that these mothers are doing their absolute best and I don't want to "mom-shame" anyone, but I think we should think more critically about posting for thousands of people to see the most intimate moments of your children, without them being able to consent
I’m sorry but this was funny!! Mostly because of the mom’s personalities, the commentary, and of course the topic. These mamas are awesome and they took on quite a challenge.
Great job trying ladies! Being a new parent is a lot but with a little effort from all caregivers you can get EC down. I started EC at 2 months after watching my LO for signs. If you are already tracking diapers just note times and look for patterns. ie my LO poops first thing in morning after waking up.
LO poops in a toilet 95% of time and not having to change poop diapers is fantastic! Worth all the effort in my opinion!
It is okay to do EC the "lazy" way or part time. Where you take them when convenient or opportune times. When you need to use the bathroom take them also. Or if you do have time take them every two hours. Reducing diaper usage even by a little is great it doesn't have to be all or nothing!
I practice elimination communication with my son, started at 2 months with my son and we use cloth diapers. He is 7.5 months now. I only do it part time, so I offer him potty when he wakes up, a little bit after he eats, and before he sleeps. I feel like most parents know when their baby is going poop so why not just try to put them on a potty. I haven't changed a poopy diaper in a few weeks. It's such a good feeling when I get to reuse a diaper and catch his pottys. EC is just to help your baby not soil themselves, no punishments or rewards, going on the potty is good and going other places happens.
As a mom of three (one is about 8months), I am cracking up. I know this process can work, so mad respect to those parents and babies who can nail this. But how can you not laugh 😂
My son ( that I did E.C. with) used the potty for ALL his poops (which was all my doing of course because I had to bring him there) from age 4 months until potty train (he PT at age 3) . I do not regret any of it because it prevented him from potty training at 5 or older due to his High needs. Basically my goal was to mainly prevent him being conditioned to prefer the diaper. Diapers were used as back up. Meaning he wore them as part of his clothing but if he went in them, it was considered an "accident" (MY fault not his obviously) . Had he been conditioned to the diaper , his high needs (he had intellectual &developemental delays) would have played a big part in him preferring the diaper. For example he is just now at age 10 dressing himself finally. But he was in little boy undies by age 3, like most other kids . I know most neuro typical can do age 12months but lots of parents choose to start PT around 2 😬😱 because they think thats the "appropriate time" to start 🙄 , so it is true age 3 seems to be the norm nowadays for even neuro-typical kids.
@@ms.anonymousinformer242 Very smart and interesting approach! I agree with parents thinking it's the norm to potty train after 2, it is not. There is a sweet spot between 18 months and 24 months, were any toddler will signal it is ready for pt, parents just choose to ignore it, because everybody thinks should pt after 2. I started showing my daughter books about the potty and explaining to her stuff about the process, showed her the potty in the bathro, she usually also followed me in the bathroom and found it interesting from about 16 months. She was also cloth diapered mostly (I absolutely loved it) so she knew this feeling of being kinda wet, so she knew when she was peing. She started showing signs of being ready at 21 months and by 2 she was potty trained. Now at 25 months she only wears a night diaper but usually it is stil dry in the morning. When they are 2+ years old it only gets harder as the terrible twos hit.
These babies are adorable 🥰
God Bless all Moms
I've been doing EC with my son since he was 12 months. I wanted to start sooner, but wasn't disciplined enough myself. I wish I did and stuck to it though. They're definitely capable of understanding potty time at a very young age and prefer it over peeing and pooping on themselves.
We're working on signing for going to the bathroom and he does express he needs to go in his on ways.
In the day time, we cloth diaper occasionally - in between him wearing his undies. At night, I use the disposables just in case, but he know how to wake up to let me know he needs to go to the bathroom.
My last two kids are 18 months apart. My three year old adamantly refuses to potty train (which if you can voice it so eloquently I feel like he should be able to do the thing.) And my 18 month old loves going potty and will not keep a diaper on. Motherhood is hard...
Yay! love that you ladies participated in this video. Keep up your effort-it does take a lot at first but it becomes routine and all the successes feel like the best thing ever even after months of them lol
Watching during lunch break and questioning my decision 🤣
Also praising is not a good idea because elimination is natural and should be driven by instinct and not by reward.
I think, if your baby is extremely regular and gives obvious signs, this might work, but imo, for most babies and moms, it’s too stressful and takes too much time.
Yes, thank you for mentioning this
This is actually very common in other countries. It’s completely possible and doesn’t take long to train a baby especially if you start at birth
You can try doing ec with timing if your baby doesn't signal, e.g. after getting out of something and before getting into something, upon waking up, before going to bed, after feeding. You can just do this part time like on the mornings, evenings, and weekends, it's not all or nothing and some is better than none.
Its actually really easy if you are consistent. I take my daughter to the potty everytime she wakes up from a nap and when she is grunting. Also I dont reward her because its a natural thing a d its important to demonstrate that its not wrong to go pee or poo in their diaper
This works and feels soooo good when you see the results.
"As Miley Cyrus said it's a Potty in the USA"🤣🤣🤣
My mom had me almost fully potty trained at 3 months old (obviously not 100% because I couldn't walk)
It’s two years later and these moms are *STILL* potty 🚽 training their babies! 😂
I want to do elimination communication but my child at this point would always be in the toilet. Always changing pee diapers he goes at least once an hr. It's like I change a pee diaper and 10 minutes later there is pee in it. He is still random for poos to try for that.
I don't know it it's the best idea to show a baby in those situations plus sharing their names. They might not want this on the internet forever when they are grown up.
Reusable washable diapers are a lifesaver
Just putting that out there
Do your research to determine what's best for you though
I have two children, and find this concept ridiculous, HOWEVER the video was very entertaining. And your babies are super cute. ❤️
Not really done in cultures all over the world, these ladies seem like they knew very little about the practice and no one really helped them understand how to do it watching this made me cringe as someone who practises EC every day, the baby doesnt just have no nappy on all the time you need something to contain the misses. Think about words like "ridiculous" when talking about other peoples normal cultural practises and how they may receive that.
My son was potty trained @ school. I dodged that bullet😁
Buzzfeed what is happening with your audio equipment
these babies are the cutest ........😍
Nobody:
My overly grown tail at 6:00- that play pen/ crib looks so big…. I want one for myself…. 🤣🤣
Tbarkallah 3lik
This may be TMI but my mom got me potty trained in 2 days when i was 5 months old because she would use this tactic and i did not want to poop on the floor or pee on the floor because i hated messes and cleaning up.
How were you cleaning up, 6 months lol.
you can not really do EC as a few day challenge it's a life style and it takes time to learn babies cues, and for baby to get used to pooing on the potty. Also you use a back up nappy you don't try catch everything even in cultures where its normal they use cloths as a back up. these mums seem unprepared it would have been better to have someone experienced go along side them in the process . in cultures where this is normal they have input from wiser elders to help them learn the ropes.
Interesting but seems so complicated. I think I would try reusable diaper....
The diaper maybe expensive, but it's the best for your infant until they can walk and better understand you. Otherwise, I would just rely on the diaper. Lmao 😂😂😂
Why do you think walking is the threshold for understanding? (Genuine curiosity)
@@daniellerosenburg4299 Oh you misunderstood me. I meant, when they're a little older and can better retain information. That's usually around the time they're able to learn to walk.
@@noelrobertson4968 I see what you're saying. EC is definitely more adult/ parent training like they said in the video.
Kieran literally looks like kieran tierney😂
WE NEED MORE LINDSAY AND JAZZ
😭 Try potty training a bear!
God above,
Stop Spammers Stop
3:40 to 3:44 that was so cute 🥰
6:43 to 6:46 CUTENESS OVERLOAD 😍😍
I don't want kids even more now
Oh goodness… if you’re worried about being more environmentally friendly, just use cloth diapers! You also save a ton of money!
Use the toilet
mumkin tashtarikun biqanati ana hazinuh la ahid yashtarik biqanati😢😢🥺
I love sarah
I would rather plant 20 trees on my own to try and save the environment, then to try this. Babies just poop and pee A LOT and this seems like exactly what was said, a baby is going to soil more clothes, and the floor, and the walls, and every surface you put them on because they go without much warning, and you'll end up spending more time and money just trying to clean it all up, then are you saving time or money by doing this.

Cutee omg ❤️❤️❤️
I heard that if you potty train your child before the age of 1 or 2 (not sure) they will be prone to urinal infections more. Especially it's a girl!
Why?
@@nataleeisjustchilling2737 the science behind it is that the child will hold it in longer than they should, which can, in some cases, lead to bladder and kidney infections, as well as constipation issues.
With that said, it isn’t highly documented, so I would take it with a grain of salt until more studies are done to know how common it actually is.
❤️❤️❤️
LMFAO THEY HAVE SO LITTLE COMMENTS AND VIEWS WHAAT.
Ayo idk if the person who manages the comments reads this
I want a baby…… somebody tell me no & why no
If you have stable and consistent help from a partner or family members, financial stability, access to therapy or a support system, and you can handle excessive and crazy changes to your body- have a baby. Having a baby is a wild wild wild rollercoaster of hormones and craziness and you have to be really good at following the waves or at least have the drive to ride that ride.
Babies are very expensive
I'd suggest babysitting for a good chunk of hours if you still enjoy it after that fix of adorable. Then think, are you in a good place, money, time, and emotionally for it?
Babies are cute, yes, but personally, I find being the auntie is better.
Both my cousin's kids and my sister's newborn are plenty.
p.s cuz as a parent you can't tap out when you just can't anymore.
You will no longer have any freedom, sleep, silence, money, fun, will to live…
These poor kids are going to grow up and not want this on the internet. The nakedness especially…their names or faces shouldn’t have been shared like this.
First off together are way to little.... strange all around
First
Please keep kids out of the internet!
Think about who can watch these types of videos. Lets take this serious for once and lets do not put minors into the spotlight while millions of people observe them, if they can not decide for themselves if they wanna be put in this position .The internet is absolutely not a safe space for kids and it will never forget .
Reason number 1203i482u492 why I never want to be a mother......this looks horrible
This is not normal. 🤣
One day, one poo, that'll do. Not all babies are as kind as this.
so, obviously this doesn't work lmao it was funny though
What has youtube become
I remember the white girl when she was upset about not fitting into her wedding dress... she got huge
It seems like both of you aren't organized enough to do this. And from videos I've seen, you're not holding the baby correctly over the potty, Sarah.
Learn their cues!
She said her baby poops only once a day. That’s actually pretty concerning and should be checked out
Babies have a very wide range of "normal" for pooping from once every 3 or 4 days to 5 times a day... it just depends on the baby
Just let a baby be a baby…..poop in a diaper….u new moms r so exhausted that u wanna try this crap….let them be babies
um can u not be rude there not forcing them just trying ur literally so rude karen
