When to start infant potty training
Early Potty Training 6 Months Old | Tips + Tricks for a Busy Mom
Ola is Ivy and Ava coming back to you
with another video this is actually very
highly requested video you guys guys
have been asking me on Instagram I post
pictures of her saying that she is potty
and that she is you know sitting on the
potty or that she just potty for like
the fifth time that day and so I've just
been posting our journey on Instagram in
regards to potty training and you guys
have asked like uh obvious she's not
even she's diving one-years-old like Oh
what are you doing but I wanted to come
to you with this video because you guys
asked for it so here we are with a potty
training before one video yes people are
wanting hear those Ava oh yes you know
what Ava is currently six month old
she'll be stuffing less on October 20th
so she is currently six I guess six and
a half months old we did start potty
training at four and a half four and a
half months right mama
yes so we started potty training around
four and a half five months and yeah and
I know it's actually for people who do
this is actually pretty late in the game
at four and a half five months old I
know that the videos I've watched on and
sticker are the videos I've watched on
YouTube
it's called elimination communication
those videos that I've watched on
YouTube they start as early as like
three weeks yes three weeks out of the
womb they start potty training
currently we are we have a body we have
it's called a baby pigeon I will link it
down below in my Amazon favorites um but
it's caught a baby pejorative Rand of
the potty and then I I have a basket
next to her
just with things that I might need like
a dead like diapers wipes and I also
have like bath stuff in there when I
when I do her hair and things like that
but mainly diapers wipes bless you and a
swaddle to later on when I'm changing
her in the bathroom floors so this
actually it's been going really well she
actually knows what it is Val she will
not go at church I've tried to put her
like on a big pile like a toilet she
didn't go when we were in San Diego she
wouldn't go like on the you know big
potty so she knows what her potty is and
she knows how to use it so whenever I
put her on there she just like goes like
right away now actually probably within
a minute she'll go when we first started
doing this most people who are
practicing elimination of communication
they will look for cues with baby they
will look for cues as to when they're
partying so we all know like babies have
that booboo face or they have they start
grunting so you know when the poop is
coming okay but he is kind of hard he's
kind of hard to determine and we haven't
quite got there yet
so this is still a journey for us but
the thing is with those moms that are
doing elimination communication I feel
like it's easier if you are a
stay-at-home mom or you know you you
know don't work and can look at your
baby like 24/7 like look for their cues
all the time or even just set aside you
could just set aside playtime to kind of
go diaper free we did that one day it
didn't work go die for free because I
was still working but like go diaper
free for like an evening and just watch
their baby play with your baby and see
the signs that they
do when they are peeing or when they're
pooping and signs I'm meaning like
kicking their feet like getting
uncomfortable like all of a sudden like
you know whiney or crying and yeah I
cheek now kicks her feet more when she
has to go also I have noticed that cue
but in the first you know four four and
a half months I really couldn't tell so
we just developed a routine instead our
routine is when she wakes up first thing
in the morning
even if her diapers wet sometimes your
diaper will be wet
like she'll wet it in the middle of the
night but when she wakes up we get on
the potty right away so I will sit her
on the potty get her on the body right
away and um that's just her cue like oh
when I wake up I should go to the potty
right we also go to the potty whenever
mommy has to go to the potty so when I
go to the bathroom she goes to the
bathroom so that she can see she sees me
using my potty and then she'll use her
potty and she actually sometimes goes
before I even you know and get on the
toilet so we also go before we leave
places yeah and then after each nap we
will sit on the potty so that's kind of
our routine it's just doing what you
would do like before you go to sleep you
you go to the bathroom or before you go
out somewhere you're probably going to
the bathroom just like with the toddler
you put them on a toilet before you go
places so they don't pee their hands in
them wherever you are and that's been
working for us personally and we have
been doing the cues you know watching
for her cues but poop Ben grunting I can
catch poops now and actually I'm trying
to get my mother-in-law on board and she
she is on board mouth so usually she
used to just like wait until she used to
just let her do it
let her go in her diaper but you know I
took I showed her actually one day I
showed her hey I put her in the potty
and she went and my mother-in-law was
like what that's crazy
so mouth shut put her on the potty so
she can go and daddy does it with us -
Tiffany yes we got everybody on board so
what I'm thinking about is finding a
potty for the church so because we do
have a lot of church babies but so that
they so that she can get on the potty at
church and be comfortable there potty as
well Vienna so that we can stay on track
come on Sundays we're literally they're
usually all morning in most of the
afternoon so hey daddy look I should get
your daddy today hi
see you later look if you do belong we
need you to send us a tricep extension
that's good yeah we're talking about
parties there are a couple things that I
do when I am putting her on the potty so
there's some cues that I that we use and
with the videos that I've watched about
elimination communication EC they they
would when they saw that the baby was
peeing and they were doing the diaper
free time they would make up cues for
the baby when the baby would pee or when
the baby would poop okay and when I did
try that tip when I did try the diaper
free time you want to lay them like on
the floor on a mat like doing like tummy
time but you want to actually lay down a
towel you want to do that so that you
don't mess up
you're laying the baby on but the cues
for her whenever she pees I go don't do
it down okay you just went to the
bathroom okay so I that's for pee and
then when she is ready to poop I go in
are you and then I said in it
cuz that's like sound she kind of makes
when she goes to the bathroom she's like
hey so those are the two thumbs that I
make for her when she's on the toilet
yeah I think those when you're in the
toilet yes and sometimes will sit like
it she'll sit on the toilet and she
won't go and that's okay and then
sometimes and I give it in the beginning
I gave it about one toilet like about
five to ten minutes now she goes within
like three or less and if she doesn't go
in like three minutes and we're you know
I'm just getting up in and getting her
up off of the toilet because I don't
want her to sit there and think that
this is just a seat for her to be
sitting off and there was one more thing
oh when hard and even if she has a dirty
diaper like waking her up from her nap I
will still put her on the toilet because
you don't know when that you know dirty
diaper happen it might have happened
when she first laid down for her nap but
I put her on this toilet anyways and
usually she does go does have to go even
actually she has a dirty diaper or a wet
diaper my mama right so I hope this
video was helpful for somebody you guys
you guys have asked lots of questions
about why we are potty training this
early and my answer to that is why not
why not nobody loves a same a poof all
day like why not give it a try
people might think we're crazy people
might think you're crazy we can tell
them your PI training year to your to
month oh okay stop you guys later bye
