| My daughter got the Boon potty bench for a christmas gift from her MiMi, and I have been trying to sit her on it to just play and get used to the idea. Not like sitting her on it no diaper or anything, but just sitting on it. I was looking for a smaller one for when she first starts since she's very petitte and the Boon opening is pretty large, like she'll totally fall in. But when I was reading the reviews a lot of people were saying about using it with their 4 month olds and stuff. I am all for getting rid of diapers ASAP, but can a baby actually get trained that young, like before a year? Also is this a good potty to start her on now? I know I was trained by 1 1/2 becuase my mom and dad used to just sit me on it starting around 10-11 months. So that was what I plan to do. I just need a smaller seat until she is big enough for the Boon one. Also if you have it, is the Boon a good model? Should I have started her at 4 months? I feel soo behind now.I dont believe that it isnt possible to have a trained 1 1/2 year old because both me and my brother were. As well as my mom and her brother. My mom did the same with us that my grandmom did for them. If you start getting a baby 10-11 months to sit on the potty and when they go make a huge deal of it and do this 1-2 times a day to start and then increase it over the weeks and months, they can be 100% potty trained by 1 1/2. They still might have night time accidents. People think you cant potty train before 2 because they are too lazy to do what it takes to get their child potty trained. Now because of all the laziness most people dont even think about trying to train a 10-11 month old because they believe it isnt possible.I just want to know if this is a good starter potty for her age, and if I should have started earlier? |

| Unless you are using 'elimination communication' (which requries starting from birth, or soon after) ... and which is mostly about training YOU to watch babies signals, you really can't potty train a baby much under 18-24 months. (Even MOST kids aren't ready to train until more like 2-4 years.)If she thinks it's fun to 'sit' and you manage to 'catch' the odd pee/poop, great. But dont' expect to be done with diapers for another year or two. |

| You aren't behind.. Just start now, changing every diaper, no exception, in the bathroom. At every diaper change have her sit on the potty. Use loud praise just for sitting on potty, and loud "poop is yucky' disgust. Do not punish for accidents. Just praise praise praise, silly dance, and praise some more at attempts. When you switch to panties, stay with panties all day. Avoid pull-ups. It means more mess for you, but it makes them so much more aware of accidents. Take them to the potty every hour, and every time anyone else in the house goes. Consistancy is the key to quick potty training. GOOD LUCK! |

| Say-tay said it perfectly. Been in childcare for 6 years and its very possible to have your child toilet trained by 18 mths. Good luck |

| I think it's great you want to potty train your child this early. While reading your question, I was thinking,"oh, I can just imagine all the negative answers this one received!" I am so far pleasantly surprised that you have actually not been bashed for "pushing" the potty training. It really irritates me to hear how we shouldn't "push" our kids to use the potty. I say, "push it!" And while your at it, go ahead and "push" other things too like giving up the bottle soon and sitting in a high chair whether you like it or not and sleeping when it's time to sleep. Sorry, I tend to get a little carried away when it comes to lazy and wimpy parenting.Anyway, I'll answer your question. I don't have the model you are talking about myself, but I have heard from others that it is a good one to have. Go for it! |
