Thanks Beckles Re: Indah & also for your explanation...

As it is very similar to what my inlaws do in Bali & having lived there & watched some of the babies/kids in the village I often wondered if it was just some part of their Genes or something... hee hee
They wear cute little thick knitted type underpants from newborn & it works for them...
So I was interested when I saw the thing at Fed square was havinga talk about it...

With Maddy she was fully out of nappies day & night at about 20 months of age...
I knew what time of day she was regularly pooing, so we would read books & sing etc at that time of day with her sitting on the potty (which she loved anyways) we caught poos from probably about 8 months of age once she was able to sit I would sit her on potty, it was never forced & it was always fun...
She would yell 'YAY!" as soon as she had done something & I'd clap & cheer etc... As she got older she would take her nappy off & go on the potty, sometimes she'd do something & others she would sit for 5 mins & get up with having done nothing.
I never had a problem even though the MCHN swore we would have created a problem & make her go backwards & start wetting etc again, but she never did.
Whenever we were in Bali I'd ask if she wanted a nappy or undies & she would wear the Bali pants & we brought some home too...

I guess in Bali the entire village raises the kids too so there are more people aware of the kids needing to go to toilet etc...? The kids are always outside too, so if there are accidents it's easier to clean?

But I already have a pretty potty for Indah & once she can sit, we will introduce the potty to her too...
