Best Potty Training Toilet

 

 

Potty training for toddlers

Toddlers crave autonomy, so they are especially receptive to potty training if you can hit that sweet spot where they are eager to master new skills and not yet resistant to everything you try to change up on them. That’s why I find it so helpful to start early.

Teaching a toddler to use the potty isn't an overnight task. It often takes between 3 and 6 months, but can take more or less time for some children. If you start too soon, the process tends to take longer. And it can take months to even years to master staying dry at night.

Keep in mind that this realistic training potty might be a bit tall for some younger toddlers. So, if you’re just starting out, you may want to start with a standard potty chair. For boys who want something even more realistic, consider checking out a potty training urinal (yes, they exist!)

Potty training for infants

In fact, there’s a growing community of people in the United States and abroad who are practicing elimination communication (E.C.). That is, they potty train infants from birth. From this movement, we see proof that infants—newborns even—not only know when they are about to go, but they give subtle signs to let their caregivers know. By paying attention to these signals and reinforcing them, many E.C. practicing parents have had success in teaching their little ones to give a clear sign that they need to go, and then the parent holds them over a potty or basin while they eliminate. It’s a real thing, and it’s pretty amazing.

If your child is ready to start with their toilet training early on, a point of concern for you as their parent is how they can comfortably and safely stay on the toilet. The BABA Foldable Baby Toilet provides the perfect solution to this dilemma, with the adjustable ladder that is incorporated in its design.

A standalone potty chair is often used instead of an adult-size toilet. They should be placed in an area that is both convenient for your child and easy for you to empty. Your child can practice sitting on the chair and using it when they feel the urge to go to the bathroom.
