'I would have never trained my daughter if I didn't know that she was ready.'
my daughter when she was 17 months old — and I have no regrets. I chose to do it because she was ready, but after hearing so many insistent naysayers, I decided to keep a low potty profile. It's not that I kept the fact thatI started teaching my daughter about the toilet. Once she started eating solid food, it became obvious to me when she was about to have a bowel movement, so I started holding her up on the toilet.
Soon, she started telling me when she needed to pee, and her blossoming independence made her so proud. I could tell she was ready to use the method I had read up on, but I instinctively knew that I had to be the one doing it, full-time, for it to work. Themethod has you stay home with your completely naked toddler while you watch them carefully for signs of needing to go.
I planned to take 12 days off of work around the Thanksgiving holiday to train my daughter because I knew my husband would be away traveling and I could fully devote my attention to potty training. But my curiosity got the best of me and I started in September. During the six hours that she was in my care each day, I started"practicing" themethod. While I was at work, she wore pull-ups and my nanny or my husband continued to bring her to the toilet at intervals.
