A signal to action: how parents taught their daughter to pot from the age of 2 weeks

A young couple from Australia claim that they started putting their daughter on a potty when she was only two weeks old. Now the 9-month-old baby is already using the toilet as adults. Montana and Tom shared his approach to raising his daughter in YouTube videos. The couple said that they use the method of "signalling emptying", which is gaining popularity all over the world.Montana Lower and Tom Linwood from Australia is raising their daughter Blue using the method of "emptying signaling" (elimination communication or EC). Parents say that the baby has never pooped in a diaper since the age of two weeks.

Montana became interested in the method of "signaling emptying" when they had a baby. Thanks to this system, they gave up diapers almost immediately after the birth of their daughter. This method of potty training saves money and does not pollute the environment with used diapers.

Young parents believe that children are born without a pre-formulated knowledge of how to go to the toilet, so there is no need to accustom them to a diaper. In YouTube videos, they tell how it's easier to switch from a diaper to a potty or to a regular toilet. Montana says it's better to do this in the summer, when children wear fewer clothes.

Doctors say that most children get used to potty at the age of 2 - 2.5 years. If the baby is not ready to use the pot yet, the parents will not be able to force him to sit down. There is no ideal time for toilet training — it all depends on the individual characteristics of the child.

Meanwhile, a mother from the UK decided to give her daughter an adult toy and taught her to ride a bike. Now a 7-year-old girl famously dissects on her own high-speed motorcycle, shocking everyone around.
