Welcome to my blog... I am a Christian woman, a wife, and mother of little ones. I do not have it all together, but am struggling to find and do the commandments of the Lord as they are written in the Bible. I desire to love God and love people. Through faith in Jesus Christ, I have been saved by grace- something for which I am eternally grateful. He is sufficient for me...

Infant Potty Training- Part 2

Infant Potty Training with Zuzu is going quite well. She has a few accidents every couple days, but mainly she goes number 1 and 2 on her little potty. We keep it next to the bed and our bed is a king-size pad on the floor. We keep it next to the bed for convenience' sake. She usually will go after nursing and in the middle of the night and when she wakes in the morning. If she hasn't gone potty in a while, I just put her on there and she plays with toys in a basket nearby. Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't.

We keep the bed as a pad on the floor because of the rolling. She began rolling around 4 or 5 months and it was dangerous. Since I nurse her to sleep many times, she would fall asleep on the bed and I could not move her to the crib without waking her. So, I would let her lie there, but I feared to leave the room in case she rolled and fell off onto the hard wood floor 2.5 feet below. The pad we have is only 3 or 4 inches off the ground and very soft so it gives at the edges. I feel much better about leaving her in the room while I go to the bathroom or kitchen while she naps.

After she goes potty, we wash her bottom with our filtered water because we don't want the chlorine getting on her private parts multiple times per day. Then, we gently dab the area dry with a towel, which is freshly changed every day.

At night, I am often dizzy if I get up since I am pregnant and carrying my baby while that is happening is a hazard, so I have opted for using Earth Baby chlorine-free wipes. I only need one since they are so moisturized. This is my favorite brand of wipes.

I love Infant Potty Training! Nine months after her birth, I am so glad we did it!

And I had a dream last night that I was doing IPT with a little baby boy... so maybe that's coming in future days... So long for now.
