Potty training your baby is a very time-consuming and a daunting process for parents as well as babies. Some parents tend to feel that once the baby has learned to sit at six or seven months of age, he or she is ready for potty training and they should potty train the kid. But, hold and watch, maybe the baby is too young at this age to be potty trained. The baby cannot even talk and tell you that he or she needs to go and hence there will be more accidents and the time of getting potty trained will increase. You should watch for successful signs of readiness for potty training your baby. Some kids do get potty trained within a week and some take months. Also, the type and the comfort on the potty is one of the factors that affect the potty training of a child. So, here is everything you want to know about potty training your babies
