Top Hat potty (Elimination Communication), have you tried it?

I know people it has worked for but they are full time stay at home parents. Daycare won't do it so anything you do will be undone then if you are going back to work (worth a crack if not!)

I haven’t used the top hat potty, but I know a bit about EC. I didn’t start that early, but my youngest was sitting on the potty from 16 months and we found that over time, and if we got the timing right, she was getting most of her wees and poops on the potty. We ditched the nappies at 18 months, so it was around 2 months of slowly building it up.

It all helps them to start understanding their own bodies, and normalising voiding over a potty as opposed to soiling themselves. You can teach signs alongside it too, so they can start to put it all together and tell you when they need to go, before they’re communicating verbally.

It’s often a longer process than potty training at a later age, and requires more observation (looking for baby’s cues) and prompting - but has the benefit of being out of nappies sooner!
