Potty Training Twins
If you have twins or children of a similar age you may feel that potty training them together may seem like a time-saver, but it doesn’t always work out that way, as your children may approach readiness at different times.
A key point to remember is that not all children are ready at the same time [...]
How Is It Possible To Start Potty Training A Baby At 7 Months?
I worked in a child care center not too long ago and I had a little boy in my class whose family was from Belgium. Apparently they started potty traing there son at 7 months old. How is this possible? I have a 9 month old and I couldn’t see being able to potty train her. Anyone else ever hear of this or tried this? Apparently, it worked for the family because at 15 months, he was in underwear, and only minimal accidents throughout the day..

Wow, I’ve never heard of such a thing. It seems like it would actually take a lot more work to try to potty train an infant like that then to just change a few diapers daily. I know nothing about it so I can’t really give much of an opinion on it, but it does sound a little silly…. 7 months is really young. I could see potty training a baby that could walk, and talk but most 7 month olds can’t even speak…. let alone communicate that they need to use the potty.
ReplyIt’s not so much potty training, but it’s learning to catch the cues that your child has to go. It’s more training yourself than the baby. I have a 9 1/2 month old, and I bought him a potty about a month ago. I have started sitting him on it after meals (most likely to poop then) and I sit him on it first thing in the morning and usually several times during the day.
ReplyI do cloth diapers, and I’m thrilled every time I catch either pee or poop in the potty rather than in a diaper! I’m not fooling myself, though, I’m not training him. I’m training myself.
Edit: I had to laugh at the comment “babies are meant to be in diapers.” Really?
Edit2: It’s actually a lot more work to try to get your child to use the potty rather than just allowing them to constantly soil themselves. The lazy ones are not the ones who encourage earlier potty training, it’s the ones who let it go into age 3 or later.
I’d say it’s possible, but you’d have to very familiar with your babies body and when they are going to use the bathroom. Potty training a 7 month old would be more like guesswork than actually potty training them. A 7 month old cannot properly communicate needing to use the potty.
Replywhat kind of a lazy freak tries to potty train an infant? is diaper duty really that much work for some people that their shoving their babies on toilets? why not give the kid a suitcase and tell em to head to work too…. parents these days, want their kids to grow up faster than lighting.. i mean how’s a little baby who can’t even walk yet go to the toilet? anyone who does this is wacked in the head.
Replyi’m sorry, but i had to laugh at the thought of a tiny infant using the toilet… babies are meant to wear diapers, and it’s sad parents are rushing them to grow up. Part of having a baby is changing diapers, deal with it.
ReplySome people are too lazy to deal with diapers i guess
That is so simple.My baby is also 7 months and he poop in potty,only for pee I use diaper. My boy can make me understand that he want to do potty,and put him in potty,and does that…so simple.
ReplyI am sure your baby surely makes some signs before poo poo…just try to figure it out
Perhaps they were confused with Elimination Communication, which is where the caregiver reads the babys signs and actions leading up to when they do a pee or a poo. When they see these signs, they put them on a potty and they go (apparently)
ReplyWell I guess anything is possible. My MIL said she had all of her kids potty trained by 12 months, I’m not sure if it was just something to try to make me look like a bad mother, or if she really did. I guess someone who had a lot of time on their hands, and felt like forcing their child to learn something that isn’t really necessary at that age, then it could be done. I on the other hand plan on waiting until my sons 2, or when he acknowledges that he pooped or peed in his diaper. I just don’t think kids at that age even understand what going to the bathroom means, like I said I guess it could be done, but it would take forever to do, obviously they have been working from 7-15 months which seems like a long time to deal with it. I’m going to wait, that way my son will understand and it wont take me several months to do it. It just seems like alot for a little baby to take on. I mean seriously at 7 months the baby cant even walk into the bathroom!
