Pottying Update
Gil pees a LOT. I remember reading some Natural Infant Hygiene (NIH) information that said some babies pee every 15 minutes. “Holycrap,” I remember thinking. “That’s impossible!”
It’s not impossible. I think Gil pees that often - at least for part of the day.
While I haven’t been completely consistent in pottying Gil, I have figured out over the past week or so that he’s likely to oblige me with a pee every time I hold him over the potty. So that I don’t have to bend quite so far, we’ve relegated an old stainless steel bowl to potty use. It stays under the change table and I can put in on the table to hold him over during diaper changes.
Today, for example, I’ve caught three pees and a poop and I’ve done nothing more than hold him over a bowl after I’ve got his diaper - which I’m changing because it’s wet - off. That’s four more diapers I don’t have to change ![]()
