One of the huge bonuses you get from practicing Infant Potty Training is the fun you'll have with your baby! Infants are by and large exhausting little bundles of joy, but there's something that's just so entertaining about a baby who poops on the toilet.
The typical baby poops between 8 and 10 times a day. If parents do the traditional diaper thing, more than likely they will argue with each other about whose turn it is to change the poopy mess. The occasion is rarely, if ever, met with enthusiasm or joy.
Compare that to a baby who signals his need for the toilet, and then poops on the toilet. I tell ya, it is a JOYFUL experience, each and every time it happens. Even after all my experience, I am always amazed when it happens. There's just something so fun about seeing a baby who seems tiny and helpless in so many ways take control over his body.
Babies also make some hilarious faces and sounds when they're going poop. If your baby is in diapers and making these faces and noises, they might seem funny, but there's also a sense of dread at what lies ahead. However, when your baby is doing it on the toilet, it's just good clean fun. Well, kinda. :)
To me, it's also a lot of fun to save money. And if you do Infant Potty Training, you're going to save hundreds or even thousands of dollars. So, come on, try it! It is fun.
Can't wait to try it with this next baby!
ReplyDeleteExplosive poops that squirts out of the diaper and onto the back is definitely dreadful to clean...that's my experience w/ my 1st. But now that i'm EC'ng my 2nd bundle of joy...all it takes to clean him after he poops is a wipe (using regular toilet paper)...now that is fun! I also get amazed at how much he poops for someone so tiny and seems to eat so little. What is even more amazing is when i am
ReplyDeleteunable to get up right away in the middle of the
night and he wets himself...he will cry louder then i will take him to the toilet and he will continue peeing. Imagine that! He can stop himself from peeing when he feels he's wet and then continue when he knows he's where he should pee.
It really is amazing. What's really hilarious is reading the parenting books that tell you kids can't control their bladders and bowels until they're 2 or 3 or so....
