DW let DS sit on a potty every morning for a short while since the 9th (or 8th?) month so that he is familiar with it and plays with it (DS always poos in the morning [now also in the evening - but always when DW is present!!!). Now when DS needs to poo his facial expression will become very serious, and DW will put him in the potty immediately, and he wil poo brilliantly there then.
We consider this elimination commuication not "potty training" because we concern not about the "control" (though DS does hold on for 15 seconds :D ) but the "release" and responding to the need. This has been a traditional way of doing in my city...(BTW, BLW, breastfeeding, cosleeping, and babywearing are all ancient stuff, aren't they?).
There is some latest update. DS used to poo every 12+ days since the 3rd month (even after starting solids; but he was not constipated). After this introduction of potty the intervals between pooing have been considerably shortened - from 7 to 5 and then latest 3 days. A big step!
Well, I miss the days when I didn't have to clean the potty at 7a.m. :oops: (I usually sleep later than 2 am)
