Elimination Communication
Elimination Communication (also known as Infant Potty Training) is about learning your baby's cues for when they need to go, and gently teaching them that their pee and poop goes in the potty. This can be started as early as 6 months old, or whenever they are able to sit up unassisted.
Day Training
When beginning potty training, ditching the diapers only in the daytime might be a useful approach. Although some parents prefer to potty train in the day and at night at the same time, it often doesn't go to plan due to various factors (that can be out of your control).
Night Training
Once your child has had a dry diaper for at least 3 nights in a row, it might be time to ditch the night nappy. Keep in mind dryness at night may not come easily, as the most common age to reach this milestone is approximately 4 years old (yet children can continue to have accidents up to age 6).
Here at Toilet Training Toddlers, we were inspired to educate and support parents who are embarking on the potty training journey with their little ones. We’ve been through it all, so let our experience guide you through this big milestone.
