  1. I was sitting on the couch (which has a pee-proof blanket on it) with Putuuqti, my incontinent chinchilla. When he was still a baby, he had bladder crystals. Every time he peed, he cried and there was blood. It was so sad and awful. Fortunately, medicine fixed him up, but probably because of all the pain and trauma he endured, he never learned to control when he pees. And he pees a LOT. I've never had a chinchilla with such an active bladder.

    He's 3.5 years old now, and today, for the first time ever, he let me know he wanted to go back to his cage. I took him right away, and he peed as soon as he got back.

    This is a red letter day. It's the first time he ever let me know he had to pee. Normally, he would've just peed on me. So proud of my little fuzz butt. He's finally becoming toilet trained. I gave him some dried apple peel as a reward.

    Now I feel like one of those parents who never stops talking about their baby's toilet training. #chinchilla #ToiletTraining

  6. Potty training is a significant phase in both a child’s development and a parent’s life. Here are key points every parent should know about potty training to navigate this period successfully:

    Understanding Readiness
    Age Range: While many children show readiness to start between 18-24 months, some may not be ready until they’re over 2 years old.
    Signs of Readiness: These include showing interest in adult’s bathroom habits, discomfort with soiled diapers, and the ability to follow simple instructions.

    Choosing the Right Equipment
    Potty Chairs vs. Seats: Some children feel more secure on a small potty chair on the floor, while others prefer a seat that fits on the regular toilet, accompanied by a step stool.

    Establish a Positive Routine
    Routine and Scheduling: Regularly sitting your child on the potty throughout the day, especially after meals, can help establish a good habit.
    Dress Appropriately: Easy-to-remove clothing will help your child act quickly when they need to go.

    Encourage and Motivate
    Positive Reinforcement: Praise, stickers, or extra playtime can motivate your child. However, avoid overdoing rewards.
    Role Modelling: Children learn by watching and imitating, so consider letting them see you use the toilet.

    Handling Setbacks
    Stay Calm During Accidents: Reacting negatively can increase anxiety. Offer reassurance and gently encourage another try next time.
    Consistency Is Key: Consistency across care environments (home, day-care) aids learning.

    Night-time Training
    Separate from Daytime: Many children achieve daytime control well before they stay dry at night. Ensure they use the toilet right before bed.
    Protect the Mattress: Use waterproof mattress covers to ease the clean-up from any accidents.

    When to Seek Help
    Consult a Paediatrician If: Your child resists potty training strongly, if there’s no success by age 4, or if you notice any physical symptoms that hinder the process.

    Remember
    – Patience and Support: Every child’s journey is different. They need your support and understanding, not pressure.
    – Adjust Expectations: It’s a learning process with ups and downs. Celebrate the progress, not just the outcome.

    Potty training is a partnership between you and your child. It’s about guidance and encouragement to help them achieve this important milestone. ,Dear parents it’s as much a learning process for you as it is for your child. Good luck, and enjoy the journey together!

    If you are ready to take the next step in potty training your child, then you are in luck

    My colleague and internationally recognized child and baby sleep expert Kim West teamed up with two of her trusted colleagues to create the first-of-its-kind, gentle, inclusive, and evidence-based potty training course for parents!

    Her evidenced-based techniques sidestep common (and potentially harmful) potty training pitfalls…

    Like nap and night training before they are physically ready!

    Name, this is the only gentle potty method that works with any personality or temperament!

    Her method of gentle potty learning brings the child’s development, personality, sensory differences, and individual needs and abilities to the forefront to facilitate learning this new life skill.

    That means you can potty coach your child in as little as 3 days or up to 2 weeks depending on their temperament, your schedule, and everyone’s level of preparation!

    Isn’t that amazing?!

    If you’re getting ready for potty training, already in the process, or have a little one in diapers…

    NOW is the perfect time to dive into what makes this milestone a success!
