Can anyone tell me more about it? I was telling DH about it & was surprised when he actually sounded pretty excited about the idea. But I don't really know much about it. Enlighten me please!

This website might help. We just started so I don't have a ton of experience.

I'm glad you asked this - I ws talking to my mum this weekend and she mentioned something about me being potty trained at 11 months - she was really surprised when I said we hadn't done anything with Ella yet!  So, I'm looking at starting this weekend!

Thanks ladies!

we offer the potty at every wake up, diaper change, and 5 or so minutes after eating. he goes through phases where we catch a lot and phases where we're all misses - but that's normal as he hits milestones.

I second the diaper free baby site. Good stuff.

Good luck!

not a stupid question.

i do one of two things, depending on him - I ether lean him over (as if his elbows were on his knees) or i just reach in and gently point it down.

I have also, on occasion, been known to stand him on the seat of the big potty (facing the tank) and let it happen that way. the first time it confused him and there was performance anxiety, though, so be aware of that.

good luck!
