I just want to let you know that this video changed my life! I saw this right after my daughter was born and we started just before she was 2 months old. She took to it right away, now at 9 months shes very well potty trained! Thank you so much, I’m so glad I found this!
Thank you so much for watching! This comment made my WEEK! we just wanted to share what worked for us, and we are so happy you found this video useful!!
Just got a baby potty and I put my 6 month old son on it while changing his diaper and he pee’d!! I’m very excited to keep working on this w him. Thanks for the info!!
Did you find that you needed to control his angle for this to be successful? (Soon to be father of a boy so just making sure. Also wanting to prep my wife for being prepared to do the same if necessary). Thank you and glad it’s working!
@@brydonalbers168 unfortunately I don’t have first hand experience with a boy, but friends who have EC’ed with boys said that have kind of “leaned” boys over in order to help them aim. Hope that helps!
👍 I'm a preschool teacher and so many kids are afraid of the potty! Even if nothing happens when they are on the potty, it's still so beneficial to establish early, regular, positive, potty time.
I did EC with my boy- I used a potty called the “baby throne” from 3 months- and it can go right on the toilet or on a base- I highly recommend it! I also used the top hat in the beginning👌
The idea of throwing all those diapers in the trash haunts me so I definitely would like to try it and hopefully it will be a success! Thank you for explaining so well.
Me too! I love the idea of not throwing away tons of diapers, letting baby sit in their own waste, and not having to fight with potty training when my baby turns into a toddler!
Great! We tried with our 13-month-old toddler 5 weeks ago and she took it right away, but only for number 2. She still pees in her diapers, but it's been 5 weeks since the last time she pooped in her diaper and now she asks for the potty when she needs it (by going there). Great technique and all it takes is really just trying with no pressure! (god we love not having stinky diapers anymore!). Thank you!
hi! It's so nice to meet another EC mama! And absolutely! I started making videos because our family and friends were so curious. :) I'm hoping they help someone who is interested!
@@PohaiNuuhiwa We've lived here on and off for about 9 years. Both our kids were born here. Hopefully someday after Covid we can have local meet ups again. It would be great meeting other families who are currently doing EC.
If you find this interesting, I suggest looking into studying childhood development! It's so fascinating and I LOVE learning development techniques and processes.
I’m so excited about trying this! My sister did it with her baby and he is 1yo and already potty trained!! My baby is 2weeks old and will be starting with him in a week or so. I kinda know when he needs to go but we will see for sure
This video was so informative and helpful. I feel so 3ncouraged about starting with my 6 month old. I did this with my 6 years old. Started when she was 10 months old. And she was telling us and using the potty exclusively by 13 months old. So it definitely works. It's been a while but I'm excited to do it again.
Thank you so much! You got this! I am so curious--how did you learn about EC with your 6 year old?! That is so amazing! And how did you get him/her exclusive on the potty by 13 months! When my husband and I are with her, she is so great! But she stays with our parents and they do part-time potty with her (bless them) and is not as great. I figure, all in due time. :)
Coming from a culture that does EC as a norm, my mum tried to give me advice on EC when my first which I completely ignored.. What would she know right?... But toilet training my elder was a nightmare (at age 3 to 4) and I was determined to give it a go with my second. Omg I can't believe it actually quietus, this video has been great, the easy catches are a great way to start. My mum toilet trained all 3 of her kids (Inc my elder brother who was born was an intellectual disability) by the time we were 2...so I guess it's time to say.. You're right mum!!
This was SO interesting! And your "performance" is so laid-back, yet clearly instructive, and entertaining! I think this should be your next career! Good job, Pohai! (Oh, I would have liked to see Mamo make an" appearance!" She is the real STAR, after all!)
I run a daycare with 6 2yr olds (including my son) and none are potty trained.. I am going to give this a shot with all of them and hopefully get them on track for potty training! Also DEFINITELY going to start right away with baby #2 on the way! Thank you!!
I am so excited to have found your channel!! I have been so curious about EC, but was terrified to try it. My baby is 9 months old, and just because of your first two videos here, I think I am going to give it a go! We've been cloth diapering since birth and I have loved it, but I think this could be an awesome skill to do early. Thank you!!
EC is like a high jumper switching to the Fosbury Flop. Dick Fosbury was the only one to do it at first. Since then EVERYBODY has come to use the Fosbury Flop technique because it gets better results than the prior high jump techniques.
Thankyou for sharing and helping get this out to mummas love practicing this with my son gets easier and easier. Verry natural way of being with bubs. I love seeing it practiced more and more!
Very informative video... i will definitely use these with my 8 months old but do share something about toddlers my elder one(2.4years ) does not tell me. I just take him time to time
Hi my son is 9 months old and we're practising now the 4 easy catches. We've caught a few pees but no poos yet (only been 3 days). When I think he needs a poo or is trying, how long do I sit him on the potty for to see if he goes? Thank you for your videos!
I was really thinking about this.... But I never could imagine to do it right after birth (same we tried to survive😄 - now my husband at work and I'm alone I still do trying to survive.... however, would like to give it a go) My baby boy is 5 weeks now. How would you recommend using the top hat for a boy? He mostly pees while changing his nappy (sometimes more than ones.... how to hold him etc. To avoid him peeing all over the place when holding him over top hat??? Isc there something I could use instead? Not sure what I find here where I live in not much choice.
Hi! Love your videos!! I have some questions- what do you do when you’re out and about? Do you think this will work with parents that are on the go a lot? You mentioned you getting ready for work- do you work from home so you’re with her or is she with a caretaker?
Thanks so much for watching! We use a cloth diaper back up when weʻre out and about, and also take baby to the potty right before we leave and right when we come back. If weʻre out for a longer time, weʻll take a seat reducer and let her use the potty on that too! We are definitely parents who like to be out and about, so just do what works for you! I do work from home most of the time, but my parents and my spouseʻs parents also help us watch baby and practice EC!
@@PohaiNuuhiwa Hi! Thanks for your videos. To confirm, you travel with the same potty reducer that you use at home? We expect (maybe naively) to stay highly mobile when our baby is born. Just looking for tips - do you carry it in a separate bag? How would you have handled traveling if baby is still using the top hat? Thanks again!!
How does it go at night times ? Do you also bring her to the potty when she wakes up at night ? And how long do you usually wait on her when she sits on the potty ?
For my son he would go a couple times a night untill about 2.5 months then Im guessing his bladder muscles were stronger and he stopped going untill he awoken in the morning so then I stopped offering toilet before night feeds. Pooping in the first weeks at night. Wasn't long before that stopped. Sometimes in morning he will pee in nappy when he's half awake and still sleepy, that's fine it comes off pretty fast easier when they are alert. Sometimes can wait a couple minutes for them to relax to be able to. But if taking to long there probably not ready so give them a break and come back I just do activitys with him out side holding him a way that it doesn't matter if he pees and when he does make the cuing sound to keep up association. If your timing if right they will pee right away I often have to cue for him to relax and poo. And relax myself as they feel what you feel!
Thank you so much! My daughter is my first. She got a bad diaper rash and after switching wipes, 4 brands of diapers, and trying different ointments- I got scared! I've heard cloth diapers can cause even more rashes and my husband is not on board with them. With EC, I was worried about not getting her pants, onesie, and diaper off before sitting her down in time, but from this video I know when to do it. 🤗🤗
Thank you so much for watching!! I've actually heard the opposite about cloth diapers regarding rashes--that babies get less. We haven't had rash at all, and not a single blow out! EC will be great! We just tend to keep baby in diaper and shirt when we're at home for easy access to the potty. You can do it!
I have seven children, all grown up. I loved cloth diapers. My children had extremely sensitive skin. They got the yeast diaper rash so easily. They got rashes much more often when I used disposable diapers. I even had to use diaper pins back then. Only with my last did I get the new style.
My second baby had severe eczema and was allergic to every disposable diaper under the sun. We cloth diapered with her and had no issues after making the switch. Definitely should consider it. From experience with my kids, as far as rashes go cloth diapers are the way to go. There aren’t any added chemicals or perfumes, and no plastic, so I’m not entirely sure where you heard that cloth diapers cause rashes, but for us that wasn’t the case at all and my kiddo was very very sensitive.
We did bring the top hat when we went to the beach or park and offered, but we also didn't sweat if it if we didn't! We used cloth as a back up and just enjoyed our time. :)
Thanks for your video! It's the first time I'm hearing about EC and it's been enlightening. I have a couple of questions I hope you can help me with: 1. For how long do you leave your baby on the potty when you're testing if he/she pees or poops? 2. If you try to catch pee and poo on the potty, I guess that at some point Baby associates pee and poo with potty. A) Do you still use diapers? B) How do you handle EC on the go (travelling, at a restaurant, at a friend's house)? Thank you!
This is so interesting! So what do you do for more unique situations like traveling or being out of the house for a long amount of time? I'm thinking of road trips and hiking etc. If baby is used to having frequent opportunities to use the potty would it be distressing for the baby to go a long time without a potty?
Alisa! I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to reply! My apologies! Thank you for watching. :) We use a diaper back up most of the time, and when we take baby to the potty, we try not to stress about it but give her opportunities to go! In my thinking, a baby is just like us as adults. If we have to use the bathroom so badly that we cannot wait, we will go--and thatʻs what baby does in the diaper! We love taking baby out to the beach and park here in Hawaii (as COVID allows). I hope you and your family are staying safe and well!
In my experience the deed usually gets done within about a minute of sitting, sometimes max 3 but you don’t want to keep them on the potty too long so they get frustrated.
Hey, how would you manage taking her to the loo when you travel? Especially if it’s hard to find a good toilet in public. Do share some tips on that please.
I have seen a baby nursing and mom holding a bowl under. I think maybe once the baby gets used to the feeling if the bowl and signal when they do go, the bowl could be tried just before or after feeding to change their potty schedule off of feeding time.
i wonder does it changes the relationship with pooping when she's old? like does it makes her have less chances of being constipated, cause like she will grow knowing her moments to go
My son was exclusively pooping in the toilet at 18 or 19 mos and at 3yrs old hasn’t had any constipation since he became more mobile around 7/8 mos. Being able to control when they go definitely helps to a degree with constipation, especially for those who hold it due to poop or potty anxiety. Constipation can be due to a combination of things though. Lack of fiber, quantity of food, hydration, good gut bacteria and lack of physical activity can all affect regular bowel movements.
Geat video, just 1 correction, that´s not the function of the antidiuretic hormone, its function is to maintain an adequate level of water in the body so it can function properly (pee less if you are dehydrated). The urge to pee is something mechanical related to de distension of the bladder. Btw, this technique is very ecological.
I never heard about this before! This is so interesting n I 100% wanna try it. I'm expecting my first child-a boy, Thomas- either the end of this month or the 1st wk of March. We're unsure of the exact date so docs gave us that time span. I just showed my husband n he's amazed by it.
Thank you so much for watching! It was pretty mind blowing for me too! Just give it a try and see how it goes! You guys got this! Congratulations on baby boy!
I am due March 3rd with a boy also! And I really want to try this out!!! Please keep us updated on how you get on with it :) praying for a safe delivery for you
If a baby goes to daycare, will they get confused by going potty in the diaper at daycare and in the potty at home? This is so cool! If I ever have kids I will definitely try this!
I used to work at a daycare, and honestly I think for children so young, the ratio of adults to kids would actually be great for continuing EC at daycare (the youngest age group at my daycare required 2 adults for every 3 babies, or more accurately 1 adult per 1.5 babies), and it would be less cleanup than diapers in some ways! I would have rather helped babies use the potty than clean as many diapers for sure! Maybe if you have kids, consider asking if your daycare could accomodate?
Thank you for watching! Unfortunately I donʻt have any experience with boys, but my friends that do have had success point the boyʻs privates down into the top hat, and some have also held them in the shower so that they dont have. I hope that helps! Iʻll share any other tips if I have any!
How is it not a lot of cleanup when you have to wash out a container each time and sterilise it every few days and also wipe baby’s bottom…. It’s kinda the same at least or more work than a diaper and wipes…. But as for the early potty training, this seems good I guess
Thank you for watching! Some people choose to place a top hat underneath baby's bum while feeding. Personally, I didn't worry about it and just did the timing/easy catches like when we changed diapers at the beginning and when I was recovering!
Great question! I would love to know the answer as well. I’m guessing one day without EC wouldn’t throw them off, but if it became a consistent thing (like new nanny/daycare/etc) then maybe it could become an issue. That’s just a guess though, I honestly don’t know for sure!
I guess it depends on who has baby. My daughter did EC from 4 months old. This was 7 years ago. My mum learnt about her easy catches and I also taught her nursery about it too. It was new to them but they went along with it and were really shocked with the results! And on days when she was for instance, with my brother who didn't EC, I'd simply EC in the morning and the evening and she was completely fine. Good luck x
I remember my son was starting to potty train. He would go pee on the potty but he didn’t like going poop in the potty and I would always know when he had to go cause he would stand in a corner where I couldn’t get it him cause he knew my wheelchair couldn’t fit
Thank you for your post, I've never heard about EC, my baby is about to turn 12 months old and I was busy looking at potty training in advance so I can start preparing myself but this is something I can start right away.
Duuuuudeeee..... I thought this was crazy. My baby is 22days old and I noticed she does not like going in her diaper. Just got my first toilet pee catch... saved a diaper and a bunch of clean up .. sweet!!... edit.. I got pooed on and used more diapers than usual.
Poop sign is the hardest for me because when I take her to the potty she would get up after peeing and then when she is being breastfed, she immediately pops off the breast and poops right then and there so I don't even get the time to take her to the potty 😓 She is 7 months old by the way
Try a different toilet perhaps or cushy toilet topper for comfort. Try a book, song, toy or person that makes him happiest, can make him laugh or calm him easily. My son did that a few times and I had to used different methods. Nursing him while he was on the seat helped calm him too at times. Haha For us, whenever we’re trying new things and he’s uneasy, my husband is the key to making the experience really fun for him and giving him that bravery I guess he needs sometimes to be comfortable with new things. With me he seems to generally be more apprehensive of new experiences and places (even though I’m not that way or overprotective), but with my husband he’s ALL in. A completely different boy.
I'm not trying to be snarky- this is a genuine question: is her shirt supposed to be breasts or nipples? That's an interesting top and I wonder what it's supposed to mean?
i have used only disposable diapers , no diaper rash ever as i used zinc oxide ointment on their clean bottom , old fashioned sis in law babysat and used a cloth diaper and baby got diaper rash, baby is now in his 50,s--never heard of EC back then but he was potty trained by 2 yrs old
I have 5 kids and 8 grandkids and I can honestly say that having a baby potty trained at 17 months old is no big deal and doesn't start at birth. I laughed so hard when I seen your video about potty training at birth and you saying she was potty trained at 10 months now you say 17 months just wondering which one it is. I know from experience and being around and having my own children that it is impossible for a baby that can't walk and communicate to be potty trained. How will they tell you they have to go potty if they can't talk? Fully potty trained means that they can tell you they have to go and no more accidents. So if someone else is watching them they will tell them they have to go potty. I wish new moms would start embracing their childs need to develop at their own pace and help them along instead of pushing them. Trust me you sitting her on the toilet at birth had nothing to do with her going potty now. My first son was walking at 13 months and potty trained by 18 months. 2nd son was walking at 9 months and potty trained by 13 months. 3rd child was walking at 14 months and potty trained by 24 months. 4th child was walking by 7 months and potty trained by 10 months. 5th child was a still born so not stats there sorry. My granddaughter whom had a 16 year old mom was walking by 6 and half months and potty trained by 10 months. She ended up having to get shots to go to daycare and got really sick from them and ended up back tracking and had to be re potty trained and now takes speech classes all because of shots, we almost lost her she was in and out of the hospital. Can you imagine how if that happened to you how you would feel knowing you pushed your baby so fast to grow up and then lost her at the blink of an eye? Just saying nurture your baby and quit pushing her for videos, you will never get back wasted time and you will regret it. I guarantee it!! Congrats on your cloth diaper business I hope it goes well for you and your family. My advise to new moms is social media isn't all that matters, there is a real live human that needs you and all of you love and comfort, spend less time on drama and how to speed up the growing on your baby and enjoy what you will never have again. With each baby it is different and with each moment spent enjoying your baby will bring you more happiness than any social media post ever will.
Totally agree! I was so confused by this video. Babies cannot be fully potty trained until they are neurologically ready. The first year is devoted to growth and rapid development. They can make faces and noises but don’t expect them to be fully potty trained before age 2. If they are great. If they aren’t no worries. Parents should not “push” them to be potty trained. It’s sometimes the preschools that will not accept a child until they are potty trained, which is completely ridiculous! This just puts a lot of additional stress on both parents and babies.

Timing. Babies intestines are only so long/bladder so big.
So learn the timing of how long after bottle they digest and eliminate.

What do you do if you are going to be in a public area for several hours with her? Do you somehow pack the seat reducer with you?
You can pack one if you want or you can just hold baby over the potty!
What I found works is sitting behind my daughter on the toilet to support her. Much easier on both of us

Sometimes can wait a couple minutes for them to relax to be able to. But if taking to long there probably not ready so give them a break and come back I just do activitys with him out side holding him a way that it doesn't matter if he pees and when he does make the cuing sound to keep up association.
If your timing if right they will pee right away I often have to cue for him to relax and poo.
And relax myself as they feel what you feel!
If you put Mamo on the potty and she doesn’t go, how long do you wait before moving on?
Just found your channel and I love it, you're a great communicator
Thank you so much! My daughter is my first. She got a bad diaper rash and after switching wipes, 4 brands of diapers, and trying different ointments- I got scared! I've heard cloth diapers can cause even more rashes and my husband is not on board with them. With EC, I was worried about not getting her pants, onesie, and diaper off before sitting her down in time, but from this video I know when to do it. 🤗🤗
Thank you so much for watching!! I've actually heard the opposite about cloth diapers regarding rashes--that babies get less. We haven't had rash at all, and not a single blow out! EC will be great! We just tend to keep baby in diaper and shirt when we're at home for easy access to the potty. You can do it!
I have seven children, all grown up. I loved cloth diapers. My children had extremely sensitive skin. They got the yeast diaper rash so easily. They got rashes much more often when I used disposable diapers. I even had to use diaper pins back then. Only with my last did I get the new style.
My second baby had severe eczema and was allergic to every disposable diaper under the sun. We cloth diapered with her and had no issues after making the switch. Definitely should consider it. From experience with my kids, as far as rashes go cloth diapers are the way to go. There aren’t any added chemicals or perfumes, and no plastic, so I’m not entirely sure where you heard that cloth diapers cause rashes, but for us that wasn’t the case at all and my kiddo was very very sensitive.
Not that I’ll be going out and about a lot with baby but if you travel do you bring the top hat with you? To other people’s homes as an example?
We did bring the top hat when we went to the beach or park and offered, but we also didn't sweat if it if we didn't! We used cloth as a back up and just enjoyed our time. :)
Thanks for your video!
It's the first time I'm hearing about EC and it's been enlightening. I have a couple of questions I hope you can help me with:
1. For how long do you leave your baby on the potty when you're testing if he/she pees or poops?
2. If you try to catch pee and poo on the potty, I guess that at some point Baby associates pee and poo with potty. A) Do you still use diapers? B) How do you handle EC on the go (travelling, at a restaurant, at a friend's house)?
Thank you!
This is so interesting! So what do you do for more unique situations like traveling or being out of the house for a long amount of time? I'm thinking of road trips and hiking etc. If baby is used to having frequent
opportunities to use the potty
would it be distressing for the baby to go a long time without a potty?
Alisa! I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to reply! My apologies! Thank you for watching. :) We use a diaper back up most of the time, and when we take baby to the potty, we try not to stress about it but give her opportunities to go! In my thinking, a baby is just like us as adults. If we have to use the bathroom so badly that we cannot wait, we will go--and thatʻs what baby does in the diaper! We love taking baby out to the beach and park here in Hawaii (as COVID allows). I hope you and your family are staying safe and well!
We love trips, when he wakes we stop for toilet and feed.
Hikes is easy toilet on bushes !
how long do you keep the baby on the potty waiting?
What about if you both work full time and ur mom or mom in law aren't on the same page?
How long do you put her on the potty to see if she will go? Like how long after she does nothing do you decide she is done on the potty?
I was wondering the same thing
In my experience the deed usually gets done within about a minute of sitting, sometimes max 3 but you don’t want to keep them on the potty too long so they get frustrated.
Hey, how would you manage taking her to the loo when you travel? Especially if it’s hard to find a good toilet in public.
Do share some tips on that please.
As for the waking up catch, my baby usually starts crying a lot and is only soothed when she gets her drink. How can I catch that wakeup catch ?
My 4 week old baby poops during feedings. How would you catch/manage that?
I have seen a baby nursing and mom holding a bowl under. I think maybe once the baby gets used to the feeling if the bowl and signal when they do go, the bowl could be tried just before or after feeding to change their potty schedule off of feeding time.
question: if baby has already begun pooping in diaper,, is it best to let him finish in the diaper or to strip him to let him finish in the toilet?
i wonder does it changes the relationship with pooping when she's old? like does it makes her have less chances of being constipated, cause like she will grow knowing her moments to go
My son was exclusively pooping in the toilet at 18 or 19 mos and at 3yrs old hasn’t had any constipation since he became more mobile around 7/8 mos.
Being able to control when they go definitely helps to a degree with constipation, especially for those who hold it due to poop or potty anxiety. Constipation can be due to a combination of things though. Lack of fiber, quantity of food, hydration, good gut bacteria and lack of physical activity can all affect regular bowel movements.
I doubt it. I have chronic constipation and i was potty trained before i was 2.
Geat video, just 1 correction, that´s not the function of the antidiuretic hormone, its function is to maintain an adequate level of water in the body so it can function properly (pee less if you are dehydrated). The urge to pee is something mechanical related to de distension of the bladder.
Btw, this technique is very ecological.
I never heard about this before! This is so interesting n I 100% wanna try it. I'm expecting my first child-a boy, Thomas- either the end of this month or the 1st wk of March. We're unsure of the exact date so docs gave us that time span. I just showed my husband n he's amazed by it.
Thank you so much for watching! It was pretty mind blowing for me too! Just give it a try and see how it goes! You guys got this! Congratulations on baby boy!
I am due March 3rd with a boy also! And I really want to try this out!!! Please keep us updated on how you get on with it :) praying for a safe delivery for you
Thx! Ditto
You have the most beautiful skin.
Amazing!!!!
If a baby goes to daycare, will they get confused by going potty in the diaper at daycare and in the potty at home? This is so cool! If I ever have kids I will definitely try this!
I used to work at a daycare, and honestly I think for children so young, the ratio of adults to kids would actually be great for continuing EC at daycare (the youngest age group at my daycare required 2 adults for every 3 babies, or more accurately 1 adult per 1.5 babies), and it would be less cleanup than diapers in some ways! I would have rather helped babies use the potty than clean as many diapers for sure! Maybe if you have kids, consider asking if your daycare could accomodate?
Babies are very alert and have clear aptitude; can learn fast, for example how to communicate and even manipulate by crying. Ha, ha,!
How do you make a baby boy pee at 1 month old without the pee projecting somewhere else from the top hat potty?
Thank you for watching! Unfortunately I donʻt have any experience with boys, but my friends that do have had success point the boyʻs privates down into the top hat, and some have also held them in the shower so that they dont have. I hope that helps! Iʻll share any other tips if I have any!
@@PohaiNuuhiwa Do your friends sit him down completely to have one hand available for doing so? Thank you for making these videos
How is it not a lot of cleanup when you have to wash out a container each time and sterilise it every few days and also wipe baby’s bottom…. It’s kinda the same at least or more work than a diaper and wipes…. But as for the early potty training, this seems good I guess
What if baby is just one week old and he is pooping in his sleep while he is being breastfed? Do you have any Suggestions ?
Thank you for watching! Some people choose to place a top hat underneath baby's bum while feeding. Personally, I didn't worry about it and just did the timing/easy catches like when we changed diapers at the beginning and when I was recovering!
I’m worried for those times baby isn’t with mommy or daddy, will a day of no “toilet” confuse or irritate baby once we all find our rhythm with EC.
Great question! I would love to know the answer as well. I’m guessing one day without EC wouldn’t throw them off, but if it became a consistent thing (like new nanny/daycare/etc) then maybe it could become an issue. That’s just a guess though, I honestly don’t know for sure!
I was wondering the same
I guess it depends on who has baby. My daughter did EC from 4 months old. This was 7 years ago. My mum learnt about her easy catches and I also taught her nursery about it too. It was new to them but they went along with it and were really shocked with the results! And on days when she was for instance, with my brother who didn't EC, I'd simply EC in the morning and the evening and she was completely fine. Good luck x
It’s like training a dog
I remember my son was starting to potty train. He would go pee on the potty but he didn’t like going poop in the potty and I would always know when he had to go cause he would stand in a corner where I couldn’t get it him cause he knew my wheelchair couldn’t fit
Have you discussed how it affects the child’s development with a pediatritian?
Yes. Superior to just doing diapers robotically. Great.
what do u do while out? u bring a poty to the mall ext...?
Your new friend here keep growing
Stay connected
Thank you, I will!
Thank you for your post, I've never heard about EC, my baby is about to turn 12 months old and I was busy looking at potty training in advance so I can start preparing myself but this is something I can start right away.
How do you deal with nights? My baby pees during the night
We used a cloth diaper back up!! No stress!
Sounds a lot like common sense, still unheard! Thanks for this video.
Duuuuudeeee..... I thought this was crazy. My baby is 22days old and I noticed she does not like going in her diaper. Just got my first toilet pee catch... saved a diaper and a bunch of clean up .. sweet!!... edit.. I got pooed on and used more diapers than usual.
😂 ❤ As I'm sure you've learned in the last 8 months, guaranteed you'll get pooped on anyway. 😂❤
This potty training videos great
Do you make videos anymore???
Hoping to record more very soon! Thank you for watching!
@@PohaiNuuhiwa awesome! Glad to hear it. Looking forward to how things are going with potty training! Thank you for your reply🤗
Poop sign is the hardest for me because when I take her to the potty she would get up after peeing and then when she is being breastfed, she immediately pops off the breast and poops right then and there so I don't even get the time to take her to the potty 😓
She is 7 months old by the way
Can you say that your baby is fully potty trained? And if yes, how long did it take you to potty train her?
I've been trying and failing with EC for about a year now. We can't get past my son throwing a fit every time I try to put him on the toilet
Try a different toilet perhaps or cushy toilet topper for comfort. Try a book, song, toy or person that makes him happiest, can make him laugh or calm him easily. My son did that a few times and I had to used different methods. Nursing him while he was on the seat helped calm him too at times. Haha
For us, whenever we’re trying new things and he’s uneasy, my husband is the key to making the experience really fun for him and giving him that bravery I guess he needs sometimes to be comfortable with new things. With me he seems to generally be more apprehensive of new experiences and places (even though I’m not that way or overprotective), but with my husband he’s ALL in. A completely different boy.
Why in my head did I hear "hello poopy people"? :D
I'm not trying to be snarky- this is a genuine question: is her shirt supposed to be breasts or nipples? That's an interesting top and I wonder what it's supposed to mean?
So basically like training a puppy. Got it!
i have used only disposable diapers , no diaper rash ever as i used zinc oxide ointment on their clean bottom , old fashioned sis in law babysat and used a cloth diaper and baby got diaper rash, baby is now in his 50,s--never heard of EC back then but he was potty trained by 2 yrs old
🥰
The 4 easy catches was coined by Andrea Olson- i hope you credit her and her Go Diaper Free book and website somewhere in this video.....
Yes!! She talks about Andrea in this and the first video and has credited the website, book and podcast under the video. If you clicked you'd see.
These are also how you start potty training a puppy haha
Too much daggone talking. Three minutes of blather at introduction
I have 5 kids and 8 grandkids and I can honestly say that having a baby potty trained at 17 months old is no big deal and doesn't start at birth. I laughed so hard when I seen your video about potty training at birth and you saying she was potty trained at 10 months now you say 17 months just wondering which one it is. I know from experience and being around and having my own children that it is impossible for a baby that can't walk and communicate to be potty trained. How will they tell you they have to go potty if they can't talk? Fully potty trained means that they can tell you they have to go and no more accidents. So if someone else is watching them they will tell them they have to go potty. I wish new moms would start embracing their childs need to develop at their own pace and help them along instead of pushing them. Trust me you sitting her on the toilet at birth had nothing to do with her going potty now. My first son was walking at 13 months and potty trained by 18 months. 2nd son was walking at 9 months and potty trained by 13 months. 3rd child was walking at 14 months and potty trained by 24 months. 4th child was walking by 7 months and potty trained by 10 months. 5th child was a still born so not stats there sorry. My granddaughter whom had a 16 year old mom was walking by 6 and half months and potty trained by 10 months. She ended up having to get shots to go to daycare and got really sick from them and ended up back tracking and had to be re potty trained and now takes speech classes all because of shots, we almost lost her she was in and out of the hospital. Can you imagine how if that happened to you how you would feel knowing you pushed your baby so fast to grow up and then lost her at the blink of an eye? Just saying nurture your baby and quit pushing her for videos, you will never get back wasted time and you will regret it. I guarantee it!! Congrats on your cloth diaper business I hope it goes well for you and your family. My advise to new moms is social media isn't all that matters, there is a real live human that needs you and all of you love and comfort, spend less time on drama and how to speed up the growing on your baby and enjoy what you will never have again. With each baby it is different and with each moment spent enjoying your baby will bring you more happiness than any social media post ever will.
Totally agree! I was so confused by this video. Babies cannot be fully potty trained until they are neurologically ready. The first year is devoted to growth and rapid development. They can make faces and noises but don’t expect them to be fully potty trained before age 2. If they are great. If they aren’t no worries. Parents should not “push” them to be potty trained. It’s sometimes the preschools that will not accept a child until they are potty trained, which is completely ridiculous! This just puts a lot of additional stress on both parents and babies.
