Babies are smarter than we think!

Today, when surfing the net I found out something already heard about but never took deeper look into: Infant Potty Training. For those that believe that nature does everything correctly, and if babies don’t carry any diapers when they’re born there must be some reason. According to Zelia (I’m sorry this one is in Portuguese… and many other parents following this method, Babies are smarter than we think! The big mistake that people make is to presume that a newborn baby is unaware of going to the toilet. We assume an infant is incapable of toilet learning since infants are small and uncoordinated and also because they cannot walk or talk. If you have a new born, give a try.

Well you certainly don't sound like a killer...

Kids are smart...make sure you don't make the mistake of using 'baby-talk'....give it to them straight and they'll understand and learn to talk sooner...all the coochy-wooochy-woo is just a waste of time for them.

This is about using diapers, not about “baby-talk”, but I agree with you 100% on that subject too. I have a 2 years old baby-boy and never used "baby-talk" with him neither advised anyone in the family to do so but on the contrary. Thanks for comment, and yes, I’m not a killer, but I will if I have to… ;)

Yes they are quite smart as i'm sure you have noticed... Diapers is something our society invented to make things easier for us:) People frget that in many countries, diapers do not exist. African mothers know by feeling that babies "need to go" and they put them down to "do it" on the ground!
