I promise that this isn’t an effort to start a “My baby is cooler than your baby” thing, but my baby (9 months old) goes to the bathroom in the potty. I realize that there are a lot of cultural differences that are hard for us to understand, but I suspect the Chinese people are on to something here. Now its not that she won’t be using diapers, and have the flexibility to go whenever she wants, but she has learned to produce, both solids and liquids, if possible, when placed over the potty, if the magic words are said. I wouldn’t believe it myself, if I hadn’t seen it work on 2 consecutive mornings, before getting dressed. Amazing. Enough said.
