I'm Potty Training My 7-Month-Old
Submitted by

I know this is the craziest thing in the world, but I've been putting my daughter on a little potty ever since she was 7 months old. My mom told me I was potty-trained at 11 months, so I just figured why not try it? Every day I sit her on the potty for 20 to 30 minutes. I read to her, play with her, sing to her and talk to her until she pees. It's so cute!
She never cries or fights me when I do it (if she did, I'd take her off). I'm not trying to force her into something; I'm just playing with her and getting her used to peeing on a potty. If you think about it, we're the ones who trained our kids to go in their diapers in the first place and then later we have to train them to go somewhere else. I just figured, why not start young?
When she pees, she has this look of pride on her face, I swear! I sent out the picture of her on the potty to all of my friends and family. She was so small and so happy. Everyone thinks I'm insane, but I'm going for it.
