IS a loving and respectful method to guide the baby to recognize the signs of when to go to the toilet, requires much patience and love.
The ideal age to start is between birth and 4 or 5 months old.
There is no word to describe this system completely, because the baby may not wear diapers, so that the term "leaving the diaper" has no meaning, and the idea of \u200b\u200blearning to use the potty either, as they still can not sit on it. The process is more akin to teamwork (you and your baby) and the intercom, that a mere learning. In other words, we are really talking about communication and response to some signals, and has very little to do with what we normally call "learning." Communication is the key to connecting with your baby about their physiological needs.
Perhaps the most distinctive feature of this method is that parents tend to work with the baby even before he can sit. Rather than start learning to use the toilet as toddlers, parents should consider this method during pregnancy or the first few weeks or months after birth.
Babies are smarter than we think! The big mistake people make is to assume that a newborn baby is unaware of their physiological needs. We assume that a child is unable to learn to go to the bathroom because they are small and not well coordinated, and also because they can not walk or talk. A baby is helpless against so many things that is hard for adults to imagine a Western society that one so small can learn to urinate or defecate. It's even harder for us to believe that a baby has some control over it. With these preconceptions and narrow, encourage and teach our babies to ignore the wet or soiled diapers. Soon, we teach them to wear diapers as a toilet.
A normal baby and Good health is fully aware of the physiological functions of elimination of your body and can learn to respond to them very young. Using diapers, we condition him and then we teach them to go. Later must unlearn, and this can be confusing and cause a very unpleasant experience.
A baby does everything it can to communicate this awareness of what happens, but if you do not listen, stop doing it and gradually lose the connection with their physiological functions. He affects not to care and learn that we want to use the diaper as a toilet.
The control method of toilet training early is not only unknown in Western countries, but many consider it inappropriate. With some exceptions, sphincter control is taken by definition as a problem, no matter how you perform. If you wait for the child to decide for itself when you are ready to control their bowels (at 2, 3, 4 years or older), will be linked during this time to use diaper, resulting in economic costs, ecological and time employee.
diapers, particularly disposable ones, are a temporary way to address the issue. We try to tackle the problem of our children in diapers, in the same way as temporarily stop the escape of water from a pipe. How many parents have pondered whether this is the most hygienic option for the baby? How many parents have worried about the impact of diapers on the environment? How many are willing to consider an alternative to diapers?
Method Synopsis
1. Comment
Tomb your baby without diapers in a comfortable, warm and safe, and notes:
a) the time it takes (how long and how often you need removed after walking or eating)
b) body language (such as cramps or grimaces when defecating)
c) sounds (such as grunts as poop)
can also be done with a strap. In fact, taking your baby is one of the best ways to familiarize yourself with the patterns and times that your baby needs for its deletion, because the close contact makes it easy. It is especially suitable in cold climates or homes with inadequate heating. Some mothers put their babies naked in the sling, loading skin to skin, which keeps baby at the perfect temperature. You can also put a cloth diaper under the baby when in the sling. Even if the baby has some clothes and / or a diaper with no waterproof, you'll know when you need to use bathroom.
2. Anticipation or Intuition
Anticipate. By the time a baby seems to urinate, make a sound related to water, such as "sssss." If the baby starts to urinate while you're watching, just make the sound "sssss." Within days, the baby will associate the sound with elimination.
3. Position and toilet or potty
When you think your baby need to go to the bathroom, hold him gently and securely over the preferred place where you want to urinate or defecate, and do an acoustic signal ("sssss" or the sound you want). Your baby will soon associate the sound, the position and place with elimination. Use the place and receptacle that is more comfortable and convenient for both. Some possible locations are: the sink, a kitchen bowl, a small bucket, a bidet or even the garden. Older babies can sit between your legs on the toilet.
4. Communication between the baby and the mother
From now on, pay close attention to signs and the time your baby needs to go to the bathroom. When you think you have to go, hold it in position and make him a sign. If it is almost time to go, babies are able to relax the muscles to receive the signals.
How do I know my baby needs to go?
You can tell when the baby needs to eliminate waste through these tracks:
The time elapsed since the last deposition
signals and gestures (such as body language and vocals)
Patterns of elimination (after walking, after eating, etc.).
Intuition and instinct
As seen my baby to get the best results?
There are two main considerations to be taken into account:
Individual circumstances, such as climate, lifestyle, health and social pressures.
The fact that fewer layers of clothing carry the baby, the easier it is for both to connect with one another and learn to communicate about the process of elimination. It is easier to read and respond to body language and other signs of a baby who will not dress with her ass in the air or at least easily accessible. Carry your baby in a sling also helps, as more ease of synchronization.
The ideal situation, although it is not always possible, is that the baby is naked or nearly naked. If it is not feasible, try to dress the baby with the least amount of layers and use clothing that is easy to remove (without buttons, etc..) There are some ways to dress your baby in order to have quick access. Be creative and Adapt to every situation and the different stages of development of your baby. Some mothers prefer to sew her own clothes for your baby. In addition to using diapers as protection, here are some suggestions:
Use training pants adapt to the different baby steps
For newborns, use best pajamas sleeping bag type to be closed by the legs
T-shirts or long dresses are an ideal length depending on the mobility of the baby
cotton pants, towel or elastic waist wool
advantages of early learning
The
Winners of learning are three: the baby, parents and the environment. The advantages are as follows:
Improved attachment through natural communication, closeness and loving patience
responds to the times and the baby's instinctive communication about their needs

eliminates or drastically reduces diaper use
allows babies to have reasonable control over 12-18 months
Babies have full control over your toilet to a relatively young age (24 months)
Frees babies diapers and all its negative associations (bulging between the legs, chemicals, etc.).
Avoids the problem of enuresis (bedwetting)
prevents diaper rash
Generates respect
toilet for the baby (not letting him do his business is over)
Delete "accidents" Older babies bothersome
Let Dad or another member to establish a close relationship and communication with the baby
saves a lot of money on diapers and washes
allows babies to be more aware of their own bodies
Reduce the risk of urinary tract infections
What if the baby is older than 6 months? Is it too late?
Many parents have started at 6, 9 or even 12 months and have done well after some modifications. Normally, it is more difficult to start with a baby movidito that has been taught to relieve himself in a diaper, or using disposable diapers and does not associate the feeling of wetness with elimination. Mainly depends on your convictions. If it seems reasonable, if you think that is best for you and for your baby and your baby healthy if it looks good, it's worth a try! Provided there are no problems in family life or health is very good to be open and receptive to communication needs of your baby's elimination.
Another factor to consider is that there is no age limit after which all babies lose their connection with the functions of elimination. Every baby is unique and develops its own way. There are some parents who have learned about communication from the elimination or other methods that have started when her baby was between 6 and 18 months, 2 years or older, and have been pleasantly surprised to find that their babies were ready, receptive and communicative on the subject at that age. In fact, the window of learning seems to remain open and accessible for some older babies. No matter what age your child to start learning about elimination communication. Generally, we recommend that parents try this method for a few weeks in a gentle and loving, and then consider whether to continue or not.
