I agree with both of you. My 11 week old is already turning over and sleeping through the night. He is growing up before my eyes. I’ll take the diapers.

I agree with Eric. Infants are simply not physically able to be potty trained. Let the babies be babies. They already grow up fast enough as it is!

My 2 year old showed readiness at 22-23 months, so I started training him. He did really well for a while and then he decided he didn’t want any part of it. I decided to back off because I certainly didn’t want him to become rebellious about it.

He wants to potty train again so we started yesterday. I HATE potty training!!!!!

My wife’s opinion on the infant potty training issue is that the parents are simply training themselves. The parents are able to recognize when the infant needs to be taken to the facilities. The baby at this point doesn’t have the ability to recognize the need yet, nor the ability to communicate the need, nor the muscle control to stand by until the need can be met.

We have a potty trained 3 year old and a 2 year old who wants to be potty trained, but we don’t have the time right now to work with him consistently.

I can hardly wait until Cuddlebug is out of diapers. We’re on our way!
