Potty Training Your Baby by Katie Van Pelt

Wow. That was a quick read. I didn't know you could start preparing your child for toilet use before the age of one. As I read this, my baby is 13 months old. I should have read this earlier.

One topic discussed here that I like is the idea of not pressuring your child to go when just because you put them on the toilet. It's an opportunity, not a mandate. How would you like it if someone told you that you had to excrete wastes at a certain time each day?

I also like the point to explain to your child what is going on.... that way they know what a wet diaper is, what passing gas is, and what a bowel movement is. How are they going to know if someone doesn't teach them?
