"Caleb does a poo every morning after breakfast on the toilet. He is 10 months and I have been doing this since he was 7 months old. He got very constipated when we started weaning, and it was suggested to try dangling him on the toilet after a big meal to get a good pooping position! And just like magic… it worked! So, I now sit him here every day and we get 90% of poops in the toilet. He will do some wees as well but not reliably. I bought a new toilet seat with an integrated toddler seat, which he can now sit on unaided. If you were thinking your baby is too young for this, just give it a try… you will be surprised!"

"Dexter is 18 months old, and I've been putting him on the potty first thing in the morning since he was 14 months old. Originally it was to help with his constipation as he had just transitioned fully to cow’s milk and had a bit of trouble going for a couple of weeks. But that's now gone and he's back to normal but as he would always do a wee and a poo, we continued putting him on the potty after he woke up in the morning. Dexter now goes on the potty after naps and if I'm quick enough during the day. He isn't anywhere near the next stage yet but it's a good start and he knows what a potty is for and is now part of his routine. It's also saving us at least one dirty nappy a day so we are even saving money!"
