Infant Potty Training

I never even thought the possibility of infant potty training existed until I recently read this article online at http://www.parents.com/toddlers/development/potty-training/infant-potty-training-one-moms-diary/. It really got me wondering 1)If babies are ready to be potty trained before five months of age, 2) If, compared to other countries we are overindulging our children by waiting 3)If it might prevent embarrassment and shame by starting early 4) How you ever leave the house.

I also started to wonder if I should give it a try with Riley. Having taken a few psych classes in college I remember a little about Freud's theory on potty training. He believes that how we are potty trained has a major affect on our personalities and how we view life. If you are unfamiliar with this theory check this site out http://psychology.about.com/od/theoriesofpersonality/ss/psychosexualdev_3.htm .

To anal retentive me, Potty Training, in general, is simply just another opportunity for parents to screw up their kids. I'm trying my best to screw Riley up as little as possible. We'll see how that goes.
