Use them all! Potty training doesn’t have to be a strict philosophy or for non-working parents only. Anyone can do as little or as much as he/she wants. This morning, I came across another article on successful early potty training and points out that the greenest option is to be diaper-free as soon as possible. So, I thought it was time to revisit this topic and give you an update on my daughter’s path to early potty training. Here’s my previous post on early potty training with the booster/potty combo.
My daughter has been daytime diaper-free since 22 months. We still put her in a diaper at night. To sum up, here’s what we’ve been doing since she was nine months:
- Put her on the booster/potty combo four times a day, after the 3 main meals and afternoon snack.
- Travel with a little potty in the car.
- Have lots of underwear and easy to pull up/down pants. Patterns here.
- Other resources:
- Recent article on early potty training.
- Dy-Dee Diaper Service’s Story
- Diaper Free Baby
- Here’s a pattern for split crotch pants that people use in other parts of the world in case you’re interested. I personally prefer to change lots of full-coverage pants. Point is, there are lots of options out there to adapt infant potty training to our fast-paced modern world.
