Potty Training at Birth

I don't have children (yet), but if this idea of potty training at birth actually worked, it would cut down on the use of diapers all together....that would be good for the environment AND your wallet. Please read the link below...

wow, interesting. I saw on oprah that they make different cries for different needs. I suppose there could be something to it and we have just learned to ignore it over time...like hunger/full sensations.

Mine are teens so I haven't done diapers in ages, but I did potty train both my daughters by 14 months (my son had other plans) following the same things my mom did, she had most of us potty trained at 1 year.

I tried to check out the website, but they are overloaded with hits.

"She said it can be awkward to explain the process to people, such as when she helped Lucia relieve herself in a sink at a public restroom. "

Um, yeah. That's pretty gross to pee/deficate in the sink like that where I'm attempting to get my hands clean. What was wrong with going over a toliet?
