When you sing, when you dance, when you laugh,
Life is a lot of fun! 🎶

🎶 Life is a lot of fun, life is a lot of fun!
When you pee, when you poo, in your potty,
Life is a lot of fun! 🎶

When you flush, when you wipe, when you wash,
Life is a lot of fun! 🎶

Say “Hooray, I did it!” sweet!
Life is a lot of fun! 🎶

Potty ABCs - A is for AWARE - in practice

As soon as my younger daughter learned to sit, at about 7 months, I started getting her to seat on the potty. For a long time, nothing happened – however, I continued and made it a fun time for bonding. I wanted her to be AWARE that potty is a place for "pee" and "poo". However, there was no pressure or even any expectation on my part that she would do anything. One day, when she was a year old, she “peed” in the potty. I was excited and clapped and danced.

ABCs of Potty: B is for Begin

B is for Begin! Beginning the practice of getting your baby to “pee” and “poo” in the potty is an exciting and sometimes scary thing. In order to begin, all you need is a potty or a toilet seat.

The idea at this stage is to get baby to start the experience. Be positive, encouraging and consistent. Avoid asking baby if she would like to go – most likely she will so no. Casually and positively tell baby “hey, let’s go potty”. If baby is completely against the idea, give it a break for a few days and gradually re-introduce the practice. When using a potty, be flexible about where to put it at this stage. Some children like to have the potty in their room, the ...
