From the Author

I discovered this method of toilet learning when my third son was born. I found it far superior to traditional toilet training and highly recommend it. Despite trendy philosophy and fear tactics to the contrary, it IS safe and it IS possible to gently and intuitively work with your baby in this fashion. In fact, this method is used by millions of families around the world but has been suppressed in Western countries. In addition, it is likely that your parents or grandparents used a variation of this method with you.

Of course, there is not one method of toilet learning that is best for every family, so I don't claim that this is the only method. But if it resonates, it is certainly worth giving it a try to see if you and your baby like it.

This method is NOT about toilet training your baby sooner than your friends, relatives or neighbors. It is about loving and close communication and teamwork with your baby.

Infant potty training is especially popular with Attachment Parenting and Continuum Concept families. And happily, there is a lot of online support via bulletin boards and email lists.
