    amazing concept, I recommend all parents to try
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 20, 2010*

This is an amazing concept, I highly recommend that any parent try it.  Basically babies, from birth, are aware of going pee or poo.  After months to a year of ignoring their cues that they have to go pee/poo, they stop signaling to us (this is what happens if you just leave them in their diapers).  So, if you pay attention and "communicate" with your child from the time they are young, they will keep this awareness of pee/poo.  I have 2 kids and practiced EC with both of them, and they ABSOLUTELY were aware of when they had to pee/poo!  Most of the times, parents assume that when a baby squirms or fusses that it is hungry, tired, or wet/dirty diaper.  They forget to add into that list "needs to go pee/poo" (before the wet/dirty diaper).  If you continue communicating with your child about when they pee/poo, there is really never a "potty training" period that most people in the US think of -- the child simply grows up going in the potty/toilet, and this is what they know and like and prefer.  It really is just a completely different approach compared to waiting until your child is 3 years old to teach them to go in the toilet!Many other countries practice this as a normal part of raising a child.Usually I tell my friends to try it as long as they know they will be either "neutral" or "positive" in their reactions to the baby.  Never have a negative or stressed out or frustrated reaction (if you don't get a pee or poo in the toilet).  I simply say the cue word "go potty" and make the "ssssshhhhh" noise when (1) I think they need to go, or (2) when they are already going (even if not in the toilet).  This reinforces the cue word and the sound associated with going to the bathroom.  You can also do what works for you -- if you can't EC 100% of the time, just do it when you can (like if you do not stay home with kids, just do it in morning and at night).  Any amount of communicating you do will help keep your baby aware of when they pee/poo.  Read this book and also look at her website, it has tons of information on it, too.

    A Good Book on Diaper-Free Babies, Possibly Not the Best
  

*by E***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 19, 2008*

Infant potty training is the practice of helping a child to gradually potty train over a period of one to three years, by helping her eliminate in a toilet or pot from a very early age.This book gives a complete, thorough, and in most respects realistic account of how to do this.  The emphasis on remaining relaxed and free of expectations for the baby runs throughout the book.This book also takes a look at infant pottying in many cultures, revealing the wide variety of practices that exist around the world.  For example, the Western parent learns that while some societies begin infant pottying at birth, others wait until three months, and still others do not see potty-independent children until three years.I am giving the book four stars instead of five, though, for several reasons.First of all, despite the attention the author gives to other cultures' practices of infant toileting, her attitude towards the success and gentleness of these practices seems to be a little naive.  I lived in a country where this was practiced and there are a lot of accidents.Second of all, I felt that since most people will probably want to use at least cloth diapers as "backup", this book overlooks that possibility, and this puts undue pressure on the parents to avoid accidents.  Modern sanitary standards are a good thing and although not using diapers has its benefits, using a cloth diaper with pins is not going to harm the baby and it will do wonder for your nerves and carpet.  As more people try to potty-train gradually, I think this option deserves more attention.Finally, I must agree with the negative reviews that suggest that peeing in one's sink, while acceptable in an emergency, is not really ideal.  I think this will put off people who have higher standards in sanitation.  We never used the sink, ourselves, and I should  note that none of the traditional societies described in the book seem to, either.Overall, this is a good book, but I would like to see her new book and the improvements on it.

    Seems good.  Baby was intrigued by the pictures
  

*by L***W on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 26, 2019*

Good book.  Only skimmed it so will edit this in due course.Was cool to show baby pictures of other parents pot-ting or pottying their little 'uns. : )Think i just like the solidarity that many people do early potty training. In this proctor and gamble sponsored 'west', it's a relatively rare thing to a) practice elimination communication and b) to potty train by 1.Glad to have a copy.  Will update when i have reas more of it..
